Is talkorigins.org a propoganda site?

You got me interested in this topic but I can't follow this post. Could you clean up the quotes so I can tell who is saying what? And the spacing or paragraphing is confusing too.And is this what you want to show: That Talkorigins gives conflicting definitions of evolution? If that doesn't quite say it, could you give a sharper statement of what you are trying to demonstrate?Thanks,

I wonder if there are contradictions that should be brought to light, quite apart from whether there is any propaganda going on. In fact that accusation may obscure the point that there could be important contradictions to think about. I think we need to assume that the evolutionists believe their stuff and aren't out to deceive anyone, at least not intentionally.

I THINK Randman was quoting Talkorigins at that point, rather than saying that himself, but that's the problem with his post -- sorting out who is saying what.And I THINK he's trying to make a point about their contradicting themselves, but I have been unable to follow the post. So I hope he will show up and make it crystal clear.This message has been edited by Faith, 02-18-2006 09:41 PM

Could be a very useful discussion then, if we can steer away from that accusation. I haven't had the patience to read through much of the material at Talkorigins myself, but it would be interesting to see a good analysis of their arguments.

Yes, but I haven't read through the whole thread and since you did go to that trouble I would like to be able to read the post, but it's too garbled to read clearly. All you need do is edit the quotes so it's possible to tell who is saying what, and put some spaces between paragraphs and lines. That would help a lot.This message has been edited by Faith, 02-18-2006 11:24 PM

This is such standard NosyNed stuff I hardly take it seriously any more, but it does run the neighborhood down as it is a violation of the Forum Guidelines, so it might be worth a look.
