ICR Quote Mines


Recommended Posts

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.

Given the prevalence of ellipses, I would be confident as well. But, refreshingly, the citations are actually given for the quotes.

 

True. At least they have sources. I don't have access to any of their sources and I'm wondering if those that do can give me the context.

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

This. They think disproving evolution proves Creation. WRONG on so many levels.

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.

 

Thanks for the website link!
