Why are you putting all those bogus quotes up one post at a time. There are fraudulent websites with the whole silly list of them, like this one: The Theory Of Evolution: The Great Myth . Is that the one you're using?

No, I am not using the source you mentioned. Neither are the sources bogus. I have quoted the sources and everyone is free to examine the resources for themselves to asertain if they are bogus or not. It sounds as if you cannot stand the heat.

The heat? It's the spam that's getting a bit too much. Tell you what. Pick your favorite quote from among all those you posted. The one that makes what you consider the strongest case for your side. Post that one again and I'll deal with it. Prediction: It's either (a) out of context; (b) untraceable; (c) by someone who's not a professional biologist; or (d) worthless for some other reason. But I promise you if you give me your very best quote I'll deal with it. Then, we can go on to your second favorite. Okay?

Yeah, I did check your sources. At least one of your quotes is phony.

Tell me again how you're intellectually honest?

No, its simply quote mining and is an old trick. You may impress others with quote mining, but we've all seen this approach before so its just silly to us.

Quote mining usually involves taking a quote out of context or using the quotes of a non-authoritative person for that particular field. It seems very clever to the person doing it but its just sad and pathetic to those who have seen it all before.
