Why in the world would you want to borrow a bunch of phoney -- and fraudulent -- quotes? Please study jenny's post 258 and click on the link that she provided. It will astonish you. Virtually every single quote (which on the surface seems so impressive) is out of context, and the person being quoted was really saying the opposite of the impression you are being given.

You, to incindiary, after a post of the usual quote salad:

The kind of discussion you get when your science is Quote Science.

What makes this problem worse in creationist literature is that many creationist writers do not actually read what they are quoting in the original but copy it from another writer, usually (but not necessarily) another creationist who himself might have copied it from yet another creationist. This is often revealed by multiple creationists having the same error in the quote or citation. Thus if a single creationist is dishonest, sloppy, or incompetent in his quotation the error becomes widespread.
