Quote (Occam's Aftershave @ Dec. 07 2013,15:53) | Bully the arrogant blowhard didn't only hang himself, he trussed himself up with bow ribbons too.
His latest blunder is starting yet another thread where in order to defend his previous quote-mine job he produces...yet another mined quote!
Here is the quote from Bully's post.
Quote | Bully Arrington:
Darwin himself, . . . prophesied that future generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search . . . One hundred and twenty years of paleontological research later, it has become abundantly clear that the fossil record will not confirm this part of Darwin’s predictions. Nor is the problem a miserably poor record. The fossil record simply shows that this prediction is wrong
Niles Eldredge and Ian Tattersall, The Myths of Human Evolution (New York: Columbia University Press, 1982), 45-46 |
Notice all the ellipses? The quote is #37 on the TalkOrigin Quote Mine Project!
To the surprise of none it turns out Bully has never read Eldredge. Bully apparently got the original quote-mined quote from another poster as he describes in UD here. Note the same misspelling of Myths as Myth, singular, the same as in Bully's original OP. Bully just C&Ped the bullshit and now is flailing wildly to try and save face. |
I think it is worse than that. Barry has used the same citation:
Quote | Niles Eldredge and Ian Tattersall, The Myths of Human Evolution (New York: Columbia University Press, 1982), 45-46 |
For this quote:
Quote | Darwin himself, . . . prophesied that future generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search . . . One hundred and twenty years of paleontological research later, it has become abundantly clear that the fossil record will not confirm this part of Darwin’s predictions. Nor is the problem a miserably poor record. The fossil record simply shows that this prediction is wrong |

AND This one:
Quote | Darwin’s prediction of rampant, albeit gradual, change affecting all lineages through time is refuted. The record is there, and the record speaks for tremendous anatomical conservatism. Change in the manner Darwin expected is just not found in the fossil record. |

You'll notice the texts are NOT the same, and the second does not in any way match the quote mine project's extensive quote of pages 45-46.
Barry's not only C&P'ed crap, he's using the same exact citation (down to pages 45-46) for one badly edited, misrepresented segment of Myths... and one quote that is of unknown origin. And he's badgering people with the second quote!
