Nah- it wasn’t quote mining- The quote is accurate and reflects the FACT that they could NOT extrapolate from microevolution to macroevolution (But by golly they go right ahed and extrapolate anyways after CLEARLY stating “What is not so clear, however, is whether microevolution is totally decoupled from macroevolution.”- they then go right on to declare the two have an ‘overlap’ when htey CLEARLY had stated the one could NOT be extrapolated to mean the one, microevolution, moves towards macroevolution
Double speak at it finest folks! Aint got hte evidence? Baffle em with BS
So then what does this part of his quote mean..
“What is not so clear, however, is whether microevolution is totally decoupled from macroevolution. The two can more probably be seen as a continuum with a notable overlap.”
He plainly states that to two are continuous with notable overlapping, that my friend is far from your assertion that they are not realted. In fact they are one and the same.
No amount of slight of hand will fool anybody that you did not take that quote out of context.
Also take a look at post #30.
