Wow, it sounds like you have so much invested into this whole argument. Am I wrong about that?

I have a lot invested in fellow conservatives using honest arguments on important subjects. There is a split in the conservative movement between evolutionists & creationists. One side relies on a fundamentally dishonest tactic of out of context quotations of the other side to try to smear them. Should I not be passionately against that?

I'll agree, that quoting correctly is essential, but when I can use a single sentence out of a paragraph, and get screamed at because I didnt use the paragraph, told I am mis-quoting because of that, that is intellectually dishonest, especially about the one I used above.

I forgot some facts, and used the 100 yards distance, I looked it up, it was 46 feet away from the skull that the femur was found, but it was a year later, there were 2 fully human skulls found in the same strata that DuBois intentionally did NOT reveal because it would have ruined his attempt to call JAVA man was a missing link...that is much more serious than leaving out more of a quote than some would like. In the pages you sent me to, I did NOT find one innacurate quote, only the pulling of sentences out of paragraphs, where it is just like I said: The evolutionists states some of his evidence goes against evo theory, but he still believes in evolution.

Sorry, Jenny, that site needs better reasearch than that, those claims are whining, not revealing!
