davidneff Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi guys, First please forgive me if this is not the correct place to post this. I haven't found any better place so this is where I'm posting this. If this is not the correct place, moderators please move this. I am typing an article in response to the ICR's article The Vanishing Case for Evolution (I'm a biology major) and he has some interesting "quotes" from Evolutioinists. I am wondering if anyone can give me the full quotes because I'm fairly confident that these are quote mines. You can see the quotes in the URL provided.

swansont Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Given the prevalence of ellipses, I would be confident as well. But, refreshingly, the citations are actually given for the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Why do you think these quotes are from "Evolutionists"? The few I searched led right back to the ICR or other anti-evolution sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have access to any of their sources and I'm wondering if those that do can give me the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaiski Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 ive personally grown very tired of arguing with creationists my personal argument is this: if you are so certain of creationism, prove it with science we have plenty of evidence, you don’t have a 5000 year old story book its pointless to argue against belief, it doesn’t need evidence, it just is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think disproving evolution proves Creation. WRONG on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The de Beer quote (15) is one that's from a credible source, but was taken from something written in a high school reader and not in a peer-reviewed paper. There's a pretty good debunking here, from a debate the ICR conveniently forgot to mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
