As has been pointed out, the mined quotes are often out of context or misrepresneted (that is, not even addressing evolution). Why are you not commenting on the fact that the two "sample" quotes that you provided in your first posting don't even address matters within the scope of the theory of evolution? Are you hoping that we'll forget that you presented a quote regarding the ultimate origin of life (which has nothing to do with evolution whatsoever) and dishonestly pretended that it was a statement on the weakness of the theory of evolution?
An honest question!!
You state that the first quote regarding the origin of life has nothing to do with the theory of evolution.
Why not?
Is not the very beginning of the evolutionary chain of importance?
FTR - I am not a creationist, nor am I an evolutionist. I beleive the "truth" lies somewhere in between. I can not prove my belief - nor can I "defend" it. It is "my" theory based on the scientific and historical evidence I am familiar with. So please, no flames or battles - my interest is genuine.
