Probably a wast of time, but with respect to your Stanley quote:
Not a waste of time. One of the best single rebuttals to the topic of this thread I've read.
Eliyahu's proposition is clearly wrong. Does not mean he needs to accept the scientific position, but the idea that science is inconsistent with evolution is surely a non starter.
I repeat my earlier commentary that quote mining is not just lying, it is stealing.
Curiously enough, I find the lying part more objectionable when it occurs. But most quote mining I see here is not quite up to that level because the poster has not actually seen the source material. Almost certainly this quote is from one of the zillion web pages you can find which only present the supposedly convincing info.
Of course, I have yet to see any Creationist back off after being exposed, and the present perp is no exception.
