It speaks volumes about my contempt for those who won't write their own posts yet expect others to respond to their copied posts.

Strange that many evolutionists tend to disagree with you:
"Contrary to what scientists write, the fossil record does not support the Darwinian theory of evolution because it is this theory (there are several) which we use to interpret the fossil record. BY doing so we are guilty of circular reasoning if we then say the fossil record supports the theory,"
[b] Ronald R. West, Ph.D (paleocology and goelogy)
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.."

Originally posted by dj2beckerI'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.
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.
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.

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.
