SUPPOSED QUOTE MINE TURNS OUT ... WELL ... NOT TO BE ONE (AS USUAL)

Except that I can point out where you have used false/faked/quotemined quotes half a dozen times, and I'm sure there are more. For instance, your last post...quoting Ager:  Ager, D. V., “The Nature of the Fossil Record,” Proceedings of the Geological Association, vol. 87, no. 2 (1976), pp. 131-159. Presidential Address, March 5, 1976.

The person who began using this quote-mine was, naturally, Duane Gish. He and Morris were the most prolific quote-miners.

Note what you CLAIM the quote says: “It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as a student  have now been ‘debunked.’”


The complete sentence reads, "It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as a student, from Trueman's Ostrea/Gryphaea to Carruthers' Zaphrentis delanouei, have now been debunked,"

The point being this: You never read that article. You are parroting what you read on creationist websites. None of what you post is original. You don't check sources, so you perpetuate quotemines.

And lest you say that it's not important, read what Ager has to say on how he was quotemined:
