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

You don't mind if I "borrow" a couple of those do you?

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.
