The Dishonest Creationist Tactic of 'Quote Mining'

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Both?

Correct. Both occur. Having a hard time wrapping that last, diseased brain cell around this? That's your problem.

Haha...you came into this thread to argue and whine, and you ended up being the case study for the thread title. Good stuff.

A famous quote made by Gould is that within his Jewish-Marxist family subculture he learned his Marxism ‘at his daddy's knee’. He has said that his politics were very different from his father’s, but never explained exactly how. Some have speculated that this referred to a rejection of Stalinism. Whatever the meaning, it is clear from Gould’s work that he was strongly influenced by Marxist beliefs. In his book The Culture of Critique, evolutionist author Kevin MacDonald writes that Gould has ‘acknowledged that his theory of evolution as punctuated equilibria was attractive to him as a Marxist because it posited periodic revolutionary upheavals in evolution rather than conservative, gradualist change’

Kevin B. MacDonald (Evolutionary Pscychologist)​

(1944) is an American anti-semitic conspiracy theorist, white supremacist and a retired professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).[1][2][3] MacDonald is known for his promotion of an antisemitic theory, according to which Western Jews have tended to be politically liberal and involved in politically or sexually transgressive social, philosophical, and artistic movements, because Jews have biologically evolved to undermine the societies in which they live.[4][5][2] In short, MacDonald argues that Jews have evolved to be highly ethnocentric, and hostile to the interests of white people.​

​

Scholars characterize MacDonald's theory as a tendentious form of circular reasoning, which assumes its conclusion to be true regardless of empirical evidence. The theory fails the basic test of any scientific theory, the criterion of falsifiability, because MacDonald refuses to provide or acknowledge any factual pattern of Jewish behavior—such as very high Jewish intermarriage rates and the self-identification of most Jews as being white people themselves—that would tend to disprove his idea that Jews have evolved to be ethnocentric and anti-white.[6] Other scholars in his field dismiss the theory as pseudoscience analogous to older conspiracy theories about a Jewish plot to undermine European civilization.[7]​

​

​

MacDonald's theory has received support from his fellow antisemitic conspiracy theorists and neo-Nazi groups, whose premises and programs he has openly endorsed.[8][9] He is active in the American neo-Nazi movement, and serves as editor of The Occidental Observer,[1][10] which he says covers "white identity, white interests, and the culture of the West".[10] He is described by the Anti-Defamation League as having "become a primary voice for anti-Semitism from far-right intellectuals"[11] and by the Southern Poverty Law Center as [n]"the neo-Nazi movement's favorite academic".[/b][4] He has been described as part of the alt-right movement[12] and has spoken at conferences for Holocaust deniers. In 2008, the California State University, Long Beach academic senate voted to disassociate itself from MacDonald's work.[13]​

​

MacDonald claims a suite of traits he attributes to Jews, including Higher-than-average verbal intelligence and ethnocentricism, have culturally Evolved to enhance their ability to outcompete non-Jews for resources. MacDonald believes Jews are motivated by a hatred and "hostility toward American Christian culture"[14] and have used this purported advantage to scheme to advance Jewish group interests and end potential antisemitism by either deliberately or inadvertently undermining the power of the European-derived Christian majorities in the Western world.[14][15][16]...​

[Picaro]

Abu Faggot just needs to calm down and accept than even his God Dawkins has conceded that the intelligent design premises are valid from a certain point in time onward, and 'evolution' can't be considered to be 'random' any more. Anybody who is really a scientist knows there is no chain of evidence to support evolution as taught to children, it's a lie, and they have know this since the 1970's, when a convention of scientists and mathematicians proved it was a statistical impossibility. Most of the serious students and researchers have moved on to other handwaves, so should the assorted sexual deviants and sociopaths who are terrified Xians are going to take away their breakfast beers and meth and start telling children butt sex is bad and unhealthy again.

I wasn't aware until now that you were the spokes-clown for ''anybody who is really a scientist''. Such a weighty burden you bear. Are we to believe that the leading teaching and research universities with course curricula of biological evolution and the physical sciences are all a part of some grand conspiracy?

Thanks, that means you're just another angry little deviant of some kind who makes stupid arguments and then gets deranged over losing. It's very simple, all 'evolutionists' need to do is present us with a chain of empirical evidence, then they can run around claiming evolution is 'fact'; until then they're just liars spreading falsehoods, not 'scientists'. You're obviously unfamiliar with the philosophy behind the empirical method. You should take some introductory science courses yourself first, then run around sniveling about other peoples' posts.

I've noticed that the hyper-religious become furious when science challenges their fears and superstitions. Your conspiracy theories about evilutionists who have apparently infiltrated colleges and universities are as entertaining as they are stereotypical.

lol you're just projecting; as I've said many times before I'm an atheist, while you're just another angry pagan who hates Xians and babbles rubbish, cuz they make homo fetishists cry n stuff.

I don't know it it fits 'hilarious,' but it is so clearly a refutation of Darwin's theory that it makes the apologists for Darwin/Gould do more twists and turns in that post than in Nadia Comaneci's floor routine!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I don't know it it fits 'hilarious,' but it is so clearly a refutation of Darwin's theory

No. It is a modification of one basic idea of Darwin's theory, which has several fundamental ideas. That idea is that evolution and speciation only occurs slowly as small changes build up. The idea of puntuated evolution says that speciation can occur rather quickly.

You keep making this same, false statement. Not that you have the integrity to care.

As usual, out of your element of "quote-mining'' where you edit, parse and cut and paste ''quotes'' you steal from Harun Yahya, you're just clueless.


The essential features that make up Punctuated Equilibria are as follows:

Punctuated Equilibria

www.talkorigins.org

1. Paleontology should be informed by neontology.
2. Most speciation is cladogenesis rather than anagenesis.
3. Most speciation occurs via peripatric speciation.
4. Large, widespread species usually change slowly, if at all, during their time of residence.
5. Daughter species usually develop in a geographically limited region.
6. Daughter species usually develop in a stratigraphically limited extent, which is small in relation to total residence time of the species.
7. Sampling of the fossil record will reveal a pattern of most species in stasis, with abrupt appearance of newly derived species being a consequence of ecological succession and dispersion.
8. Adaptive change in lineages occurs mostly during periods of speciation.
9. Trends in adaptation occur mostly through the mechanism of species selection.

Gould summarizes as follows:
"... punctuated equilibrium makes its major contribution to evolutionary theory, not by revising microevolutionary mechanics, but by individuating species (and thereby establishing the basis for an independent theoretical domain of macroevolution)."

Gould, S. J. (2002) p. 781-782.



I'll try to dumb it down for the hyper-religious loons: Gould is saying that the observed pattern of punctuated equilibrium establishes an accelerated pattern of evolution. As such, the larger population (scientists call that population a ''species''), become the "individuals" within a population. The survival of species within the group occurs by sorting and species selection.

Please feel free to offer your ''quote'' from Harun Yahya that supports your competing theory of a 6,000 year old planet, Arks cruising the seas, people living to be 900 years old and that creepy thing of incestuous and familial relations as Noah and his immediate family repopulated the planet.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

Everybody should read at least one or two of the many marvelous “popular science” books of Stephen Jay Gould, the most famous scientific historian and resolute defender of evolution of his generation. As a younger but already mature adult I read at least six of his more famous books, some of which were collections of brilliant and entertaining essays that appeared originally in Natural History magazine over many years.

To imply, as the despicably dishonest PoliticalChic does, that Gould opposed evolution ... is too preposterous for words.

Quote mining (also contextomy) is the Fallacious tactic of taking quotes out of context in order to make them seemingly agree with the quote miner's viewpoint or to make the comments of an opponent seem more extreme or to make it seem that the opponent holds positions they don't in order to make their positions easier to refute or demonize.[note 1] It's a way of Lying. This tactic is widely used among Young Earth Creationists (YEC) in an attempt to discredit evolution.

Quote mining is an informal fallacy and a fallacy of ambiguity, in that it removes context that is necessary to understand the mined quote.
...
Examples

Darwin
A famous example, possibly one of the most famous examples of quote mining, is the following misquotation of Charles Darwin, where the bold section is often presented without including the rest of the quote.

“”To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.

—Charles Darwin[5]

Liberal tolerance is a myth.
All religions have beliefs in them that are not scientific.
When the Left Wingers are only obsessed with the "creationist" it's just hate.
I am not religious, but I have a wide tolerance for other people's beliefs because that is their culture and none of my business.

Creationists rely upon distortion and innuendo to buttress their rhetorical claim. If I sound sharp or bitter, indeed I am—for I have become a major target of these practices.”

— Stephen Jay Gould, "Evolution as Fact and Theory," May 1981; from Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes, New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1994, pp. 253-262. ]

the really funny thing is, it's not up to 'creationists' or anybody else to prove your premises wrong, i.e. prove a negative it's you that have to defend the theory.

So, go ahead and post the empirical chain of evidence. So far, re 'humans' all the usual 'sources only show pics of a few bones from extinct species of apes with sometimes millions of years of gaps, and all of which will fit on my kitchen table. You deviants are seriously insane if you think that's 'factual evidence'. And, you clearly have no idea what empiricism is all about. The real probabilities are that the Earth would to be 10 times older and extremely 'lucky' to have 'evolved' even a fraction of the way to 'now', i.e. some 'magical' impossibilities have to happen for your dumbass.

What is obvious is you're not discussing 'science' at all, your premises are all about Xian Bashing, not 'science'; you're just a deviant cultist.

“... all of which will fit on my kitchen table.”

Poor Picaro sitting at his empty kitchen table. Not a single one of the tens of thousands of hardworking paleontologists and micro-biologists working on the fossil and DNA evidence of evolution, none of the curators at the world’s great museums with bones and fossils on display or carefully stored in underground vaults, nobody bothers to come lay out the evidence before him ...

1. The truth of the matter is that government school grads have only the most superficial knowledge of most things, except how wonderful Liberalism is, but certainly the least of all about science.This is probably the reason why so many of them ascribe absolute correctness to the false theory of evolution, Darwinism.

To hide this lacunae, they love terms like ‘common ancestor,’ ‘fossil record,’ and most of all, ‘survival of the fittest.’ And one example that the cling to is the imagined production of new bacterial species due to the use of pharmaceuticals.



2. In 2001, the U.S. Public Broadcasting System (PBS) televised a pro-Darwin series accompanied by a book, Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, which claimed: “The resistance that bacteria have to many antibiotics didn’t just happen: it unfolded ac- cording to the principles of natural selection, as the bacteria with the best genes for fighting the drugs prospered. Without understanding evolution, a researcher has little hope of figuring out how to create new drugs and determine how they should be administered.” Carl Zimmer, “Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea,” p. 336.

3. “English microbiologist Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic: penicillin. Fleming noticed a culture dish of staph bacteria on which a mold spore had settled. Remarkably, there were no staph colonies around the mold, suggesting that the latter was producing a substance that killed or inhibited the staph bacteria. The mold was a species of Penicillium (another species of which is used to make blue cheese), and Fleming’s training in microbiology enabled him to turn this serendipitous observation into a major medical breakthrough.
See Alexander Fleming, “On the antibacterial action of cultures of a Penicillium, with special reference to their use in the isolation of B. influenzae ,” British Journal of Experimental Pathology 10 (1929), 226–36. Wainwright, Miracle Cure, Chapter 2.
4. Here’s the problem:

“The concept of the ‘struggle for existence’ has been applied to microbial interrelationships in nature in a manner comparable to the effects assigned by Darwin to higher forms of life. It has also been suggested that the ability of a microbe to produce an antibiotic sub- stance enables it to survive in competition for space and for nutrients with other microbes. Such assumptions appear to be totally unjustified on the basis of existing knowledge. . . . All the discussion of a ‘struggle for existence,’ in which antibiotics are supposed to play a part, is merely a figment of the imagination, and an appeal to the melodramatic rather than the factual.” Nobel laureate Selman Waksman, 1956

5. Sooooo.....attributing bacterial resistance to antibiotics and pharmaceuticals.......hardly an example of understanding the science.

Quote mining (also contextomy) is the Fallacious tactic of taking quotes out of context in order to make them seemingly agree with the quote miner's viewpoint or to make the comments of an opponent seem more extreme or to make it seem that the opponent holds positions they don't in order to make their positions easier to refute or demonize.[note 1] It's a way of Lying. This tactic is widely used among Young Earth Creationists (YEC) in an attempt to discredit evolution.

Quote mining is an informal fallacy and a fallacy of ambiguity, in that it removes context that is necessary to understand the mined quote.

Examples

Darwin
A famous example, possibly one of the most famous examples of quote mining, is the following misquotation of Charles Darwin, where the bold section is often presented without including the rest of the quote.

“”To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.

—Charles Darwin[5]

A famous quote made by Gould is that within his Jewish-Marxist family subculture he learned his Marxism ‘at his daddy's knee’. He has said that his politics were very different from his father’s, but never explained exactly how. Some have speculated that this referred to a rejection of Stalinism. Whatever the meaning, it is clear from Gould’s work that he was strongly influenced by Marxist beliefs. In his book The Culture of Critique, evolutionist author Kevin MacDonald writes that Gould has ‘acknowledged that his theory of evolution as punctuated equilibria was attractive to him as a Marxist because it posited periodic revolutionary upheavals in evolution rather than conservative, gradualist change’
MacDonald, Kevin, ‘The Culture of Critique’

Kevin MacDonald (evolutionary psychologist) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Kevin B. MacDonald (Evolutionary Pscychologist)​

(1944) is an American anti-semitic conspiracy theorist, white supremacist and a retired professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).[1][2][3] MacDonald is known for his promotion of an antisemitic theory, according to which Western Jews have tended to be politically liberal and involved in politically or sexually transgressive social, philosophical, and artistic movements, because Jews have biologically evolved to undermine the societies in which they live.[4][5][2] In short, MacDonald argues that Jews have evolved to be highly ethnocentric, and hostile to the interests of white people.​

​

Scholars characterize MacDonald's theory as a tendentious form of circular reasoning, which assumes its conclusion to be true regardless of empirical evidence. The theory fails the basic test of any scientific theory, the criterion of falsifiability, because MacDonald refuses to provide or acknowledge any factual pattern of Jewish behavior—such as very high Jewish intermarriage rates and the self-identification of most Jews as being white people themselves—that would tend to disprove his idea that Jews have evolved to be ethnocentric and anti-white.[6] Other scholars in his field dismiss the theory as pseudoscience analogous to older conspiracy theories about a Jewish plot to undermine European civilization.[7]​

​

​

MacDonald's theory has received support from his fellow antisemitic conspiracy theorists and neo-Nazi groups, whose premises and programs he has openly endorsed.[8][9] He is active in the American neo-Nazi movement, and serves as editor of The Occidental Observer,[1][10] which he says covers "white identity, white interests, and the culture of the West".[10] He is described by the Anti-Defamation League as having "become a primary voice for anti-Semitism from far-right intellectuals"[11] and by the Southern Poverty Law Center as [n]"the neo-Nazi movement's favorite academic".[/b][4] He has been described as part of the alt-right movement[12] and has spoken at conferences for Holocaust deniers. In 2008, the California State University, Long Beach academic senate voted to disassociate itself from MacDonald's work.[13]​

​

MacDonald claims a suite of traits he attributes to Jews, including Higher-than-average verbal intelligence and ethnocentricism, have culturally Evolved to enhance their ability to outcompete non-Jews for resources. MacDonald believes Jews are motivated by a hatred and "hostility toward American Christian culture"[14] and have used this purported advantage to scheme to advance Jewish group interests and end potential antisemitism by either deliberately or inadvertently undermining the power of the European-derived Christian majorities in the Western world.[14][15][16]...​

Political Sheik quoting Famous Anti-semite Kevin MacDonald.
And again, being a Maxist (or Libertarian, RWer) does not change the Fact of Evolution Political Sheik has used/quoted Gould hundreds of times.

Now, when I show the 12 IQ MORON what he actually thinks, she tries to Discredit one (if not THEE) of her Most used sources.

I've seen this raging anti-semite for years on several mbs.
