A thread on evolution

[createdtoworship]

Except they do, and the English language does not end at the dictionary.

Proof?

This has already been explained ad naseum in this thread. gradyll just doesn't want to accept how language works. (Or dictionaries for that matter.)you are the troll spewing obsolete concepts unfounded in reality. get a clue genius.

At this point I'd wager we're either dealing with someone immune to reality, or we're being trolled.

You do realize that no matter how much you repeat something, it doesn't make it any more true.

Burden of proof lies in the one making the positive statement that creationists are quotemining. they may as well be coal miners.

a video on peer review is not itself peer review

Correct, but the problem is that you do not know what peer review is. The video explains your errors to you and you were the one that posted it.

Here is the video that gradyll linked again. I have to give him credit, he did find a very very good video on peer review:

Really? Why do you use the term then?

Grady posted "they are quote mining his quotations, you need to have context.".

Scramble mode has begun.

If I posted it then I have watched it numerous.times before. still not peer review. So find another source

Nope, I made a mistake. I am human. what can I say ...being around so much error can actually rub off. so answer my one question about evolution (with peer review) and watch the real scrambling sizzle with bacon.

So why haven't you posted any yet. no more excuses.

So you got any evidence of macro evolution yet?

Quoting out of context
Quoting out of context (sometimes referred to as contextomy or quote mining) is an informal fallacy and a type of false attribution in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning.

And what xianghua wrote in post #562 is an example of a quote-mine since what he wrote was only a small, out of context piece from Dawkins' book, which, as I showed in post #563, was actually part of a much larger paragraph that does not say what xianghua wanted to try and show it said.

Although of course I don't know why I bother with this since you're just going to say I'm wrong with your idiotic rhetoric that since you can't find the phrase quote-mine in the dictionary (which you won't find because quotes don't exist in the dictionary, only singular words) you're going to completely ignore what I said, even though you yourself have also used the term quote-mining before in another thread, as was shown previously in this thread.

so you admit that it does not exist in any dictionary. (sorry but I guess you never heard of multiword dictionaries?)

I didn't think so.

thanks for pointing out my error. I will correct it.

SEE! You just quote-mined what I wrote! You took a tiny little thing that I said, and completely focused on that part, without paying any attention to anything else I wrote!
How do you not see that?

Once again, I never claimed that it was. It explained your errors to you. You may claim to have watched it, but you clearly did not understand it.

welcome to debate 101.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I have. You haven't. In another recent post you requested evidence, but you do not understand that concept either.

Let's go over the concept of evidence and then I will gladly give you some. When a person has proven multiple times that he does not understand the concept of evidence it is pointless to supply him with any.

welcome to debate 101.

No, that's not debating, it's called acting like a child. If this were an honest debate, you'd actually respond to the whole of what I wrote, not just a small portion of it and take that portion out of context too.
And also, the term quote mine DOES appear in an online dictionary! Checkmate.

He will object because it is not an "official dictionary". Even though it has been pointed out to him many times that there is no such animal as an "official dictionary".
