>>Ah, quote mining. The last refuge of those without real arguments.<<

True. If it IS, indeed, the "last refuge."

Then again. Why re-invent the wheel?

Quote mining is what Rush Limbaugh uses to effectively destroy liberal opponents. I think you do not give it enough credit.

That's fine in politics. And in environmental issues, because there's almost no reality in environmental issues since it's the second biggest religion in the country.

But quote mining to "prove" evolution, or disprove it, is meaningless to real science.
