dj2becker: Btw, the word "evolve" was invented by the evolutionists. Go find a dictionary dated 1850, and you will find that the word did not exist.
HUH????? He said the word didn't exist in 1850 and the site you gave (the same one as ATY) says the word dates from 1641!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exactly do I owe him an apology for saying he told a lie when he did???
I actually meant to say that the word "evolve" with its current meaning did not exist back then. I suppose I did not make it clear though.

I think no1 should apologies for accusing you of lying.

Originally posted by ColettiYes, you are mistaken. "Go to a dictionary before 1850 and you won't find the word" is implying that numbskull ACTUALLY did this himself before he shot his mouth off. Saying you have absolute knowledge when you do not is a lie as far as I'm concerned as it is "something that misleads or deceives" which is one of the dictionary definitions of a lie. That dj2becker CONSTANTLY does this i.e. makes sweeping untrue statements without bothering to check whether they are true or not is an aggravating, not mitigating factor in my view. It's the same as GW saying "We know Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" when he assuredly did not know that, since they didn't. I don't apologize to liars for saying they told lies, Coletti.
I've never heard that before. Mistake and error are synonyms. But I think it would be the other way around.
But I'm not mistaken that no1 should apologize.
