A fascinating discussion, from the POV of one who believes in both evolution
and creationism. It's also a bit amusing to find that so many on both sides
apparently (1) reject the notion that it's a little bit of both.
But anyway, concerning the fake fossil that was published in National
Geographic:

Motivation. Remember the motivation behind the fake. The fossil in
question was most likely faked to increase its black-market sale value, and
not with a goal of slyly filling in evolutionary blanks. The museum
curators who ultimately published their erroneous findings on the fossil
were also motivated by sales -- ticket sales for their BFE
middle-of-no-freakin-where museum. Once the findings were published and the
fossil was placed under scientific scrutiny, it didn't take long before it
was revealed to be the glue job that it was.
Taken in the right perspective, this faked fossil really bears no relevance
in the whole evolution / creationism debate.

1. I say "apparently" since, for the purposes of debate anyway, folks tend
to gravitate past their center towards the extreme...but this is just fodder
for a completely different debate. :-,
