A Perspective on Creationist Quote Mining.

Like a good evolutionist, you do not post your "refutations" since you know they refute nothing.

Find a source yet for your claim that DNA evidence disproves a hippo-cetacean link?

What a silly dodge this link-phobia of yours is. What you don't want to see, no one can make you see. Here's the executive summary:

The creationist use of quotes is invalid and does not in any way provide evidence for creationism or against evolution. The reasons for this fall into several major categories: the use of quotations often is a fallacy of "argument from authority," selective quotation may be occurring, the quotations are often out-of-date, the quoted authorities are often not appropriate authorities, creationists are sometimes not honest in representing who the people they quote are, and that many of the quotations are misquotations.
