Summations Only

It doesn't matter what Gould or any others themselves meant, if what they said has implications for creationist views that's a perfectly valid way to use their quotes.

Misrepresentation isn't the point in this case, the point is only that some things they said can be shown to point to different conclusions than theirs. I don't see that Eliyahu claimed they meant what he got iout of them anyway. This is an entirely different situation. But I'm not following this thread, I just thought it was illogical to claim somebody's observation can't be used for a different purpose than it was intended.In the case of the other thread I HAVE been misrepresented and I don't think anybody has ever fairly and honestly recognized the point I've been making. And what I've said isn't being used for any other conclusion, it's just being misrepresented in such a garbled way it makes no sense.But this is typical, what you've said, just not getting the point in either case. Bad logic, bad thinking. Typical./Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The fact is that NOTHING can ever disprove evolution. It's made of Silly Putty.

Naa, you'd just "prove" it was a hoax somehow or other, and blame it on creationists too of course, or it accidentally got dislodged and displaced somehow, or you'd misidentified that layer. You'd come up with something.

There's so much that disproves evolution, where to start? Well, start with the fact that you DON'T have the transitionals Darwin said you'd have to have. You have a few paltry wannabe transitionals, but nothing like the great number and variety Darwin knew were required. But that doesn't stop evolution. 'Cuz it's Silly Putty, it can be shaped any way you like it.The mere appearance of created things disproves it, so clearly the result of a Creative Intelligence, not mindless physical and chemical accidents. But you deny that too, pretend an Intelligence is not needed. Invent scenarios, Interpretations, call them Fact, say This happened, That happened, as if it really did. Silly Putty.Then there's the Flood, which so nicely accounts for the strata and the fossils but you can just assert it doesn't and make up Likely Stories out of bits and pieces of known fact but mostly sheer imagination, say you've disproved the Flood. Yes, just say it, that's all you have to do, name it and it's true. Silly Putty.Darwin declared that what was known to have genetic causes, i.e. microevolution or the well known variation within Species, which is the ONLY known "descent with modification," was capable of producing new Species. Simply declared it, no evidence, no proof, just rename things and there you have it. And ever since that's all that's happened, the renaming of everything. Silly Putty. Mental transformation. Word Magic.It's all a mass delusion. Fascinating. Amazing. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
