    It also speaks volumes of your inability to respond to a couple of paragraphs (which have been sited) which are refuting what you have posted.

    There are always going to be unfortunate incidences where a scienist's words are twisted by people of no honor.
    Actually in this case it's his own fault for butchering the language.
    To read that statement the way you do is to read : " Gathering data that fits a Theoretical prediction and then saying it supports the Theory involved is a circular argument.."

    Let me get this straight.

    You post half your stuff from christian-answers.net, and yet you accuse others of bias??

    I've responded to "a couple paragraphs". Then you supplied a couple more. I responded to those. Then you supplied a couple more. The chain kept going until I got annoyed with you and refused to continue.

    By the way, you only started citing after I pointed out how every post of yours was plagiarized. You copied others' material and implied by your lack of citations that the material was your own.

    My statement about faith was not about evolution but about the origin of matter and the forces of the universe. You're implying I said something I did not which is deceptive and insulting. Please don't do that.

    No problem.

    But I don't intend to paste chunks of material here. Here are hundreds.

    Look at them yourself at: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html

    Are you taking these quotes from "The Other Quote Book?" published by either the Creation Science Foundation (CSF) or Answers-in-Genesis (AiG)? If so, you need to know that most of them are taken out of context and the scientists quoted resile from the CSF claims.
