Negative Impacts on Society

You might find this document interesting in this context: the Pacific College curriculum on the evolution vs creationism question (from a Christian Ministries private college). 60 pages of mostly "quotes from evolutionists" - nearly every single one of which is either distorted, taken out of context, misapplied (i.e., from discussions PE vs gradualism, cladistics over traditional phylogeny, etc), or horribly outdated. An amazing compilation of the worst of the worst, apparently culled from creationist sites all over the web and especially from the first edition of the famous Quote Book (now the Revised Quote Book). Fascinating reading.

I totally agree with you inre bad quotes (although I think others have argued the Gen 1 & 2 case pretty exhaustively - another topic I'm sure). One of the reasons I have very little respect for many of the evilution-slayers that wander through this forum is that often their arguments devolve to little more than lists of erroneous or misleading quotes. Then they demand that their opponents either refute every single quote or admit defeat. OTOH, I greatly appreciate someone who is willing to challenge neodarwinism or even the ToE on its merits by addressing what the theory actually says, rather than what someone might have said about it.I did expend some effort once to do precisely what I despise - waste a great deal of effort and space discussing one such list right here on this forum. You might find Creationists and Quotemines a worthwhile read.
