"are you getting the picture here, I can take these selected quotes and tell someone that the bible endorses canibalism, prostitution and that god is at once warlike and peaceful and that god punishes the sons of sinners but also doesn't punish them. Selective quotation, even though the meaning of the actual quotations hasn't changed, are still dishonest."
That's where you are wrong. In order to do all of that, you would need to distort the meaning and add to the meaning of the verses you quoted. Still, it is perfectly acceptable to use the quotes in an argument about what the Bible teached, just as someone else can quote the Bible to counter those arguments.
The issue we are dealing with is whether there is any misrepresentation of the quoted material, and there is not. This is where you fundamentally miss the crux of the matter. The creationist understands what the evolutionist is saying. He is just disagreeing with it.
Take away all the words, and think about what is actually being described. Basically, the creationist wants to make darn sure that it is clear that it is understood that the species to species transitions are not shown, and that there is considerable debate about the exact lineages, and that when an evolutionist speaks of facts of thousands of transitional fossils, it isn't clear always where these species lie in the lineages, that there is considerable debate on what the correct lineages are, and that either way, "transitional" does not mean the actual species to species transitions are shown.
I find it curious that evolutionists fight so hard to obscure these facts, even though they at times admit to them, as the quotes indicate. It is odd and makes me wonder if they are not upset by the correction of false impressions that the public has due to their terminology. Basically, it looks like the evolutionists are just upset being caught perpetuating a lie.
Otherwise, why be upset over the quotes? Creationists basically are pointing out things evolutionists have conceded in order to counter the false statements of popularizers of evolution such as the talkOrigins site.
