Quote mining...... isn't that the evo term for rejecting the words of

they slip up and tell the truth?

No, it is a childish tactic used by the desperate...

Let's leave the wiki alone its banned at every grad school in America.

The egomania and irrationality of the evo team just guarantees plenty
of infighting and constant disagreement since its all a contest to
prove which one is the most brilliant. It is frequently an open window
into the hopeless facade of the entire theory and its many, many
weaknesses.

A little more quote minig on your great theory.

Encarta
Natural Selection, in evolution, the process by which environmental
effects lead to varying degrees of reproductive success among
individuals of a population of organisms with different hereditary
characters, or traits. The characters that inhibit reproductive
success decrease in frequency from generation to generation. The
resulting increase in the proportion of reproductively successful
individuals usually enhances the adaptation of the population to its
environment. Natural selection thus tends to promote adaptation by
maintaining favorable adaptations in a constant environment
(stabilizing selection) or improving adaptation in a direction
appropriate to environmental changes (directional selection). Charles
Darwin and Alfred Wallace first proposed this concept in 1858.
James W. Valentine, M.A., Ph.D.
Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California at
Berkeley. Coauthor of Evolution.


Valentine is one of the prominent people in evolutionary sciences and
although his explanation is far superior to any contributed by the
nemnals herein........its pitiful...NS is meaningless.

What's wrong with the meaning of the above text? To me it seems a quite
meaningfull description and I am not a biologist and English is a second
language for me.
