"Ruse also describes what he calls "metaphysical Darwinism" -- Ruse, M: 1992.Darwinism. In E F Keller and E A Lloyd eds Keywords in Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University Press. -- (as opposed to "scientific Darwinism") which is indeed a metaphysical system akin to a worldview, and which has expressed itself in numerous extra-scientific philosophies, including Spencer's, Teilhard's, and Haeckel's, or even the quasi-mystical views of Julian Huxley. .. ~ John S. Wilkins (talkorigins) You missed the succeeding sentence in your quote.
These must be considered separate to the scientific theory, and are often in contradiction to the actual scientific models. Taken from the same quote of John Wilkins as above
Rather changes the meaning of your quote.
It's unethical to change the meaning of a quote. How many others of your quotes are similarly presented as disingenuously?

"Rather changes the meaning of your quote." The quote accurately reflects what Ruse believes. Your protest is just a reflection of your embarrassment at his honesty. LOL

It's unethical to change the meaning of a quote. However, Creationists do this religiously.

It's generally safe to assume that any quote that Matchett-PI is being presented in a dishonest out-of-context fashion. You'll find that the only ones that aren't presented that way are the ones that she has fabricated outright. Matchett-PI is well-established as a completely shameless liar.
