TalkOrigins is a junk propaganda site. I am surprised that the evos are not called on that all of the time.

But even there if you dig deep enough, they will allude to the falsehoods and fabrications of the evolutionist ideology. Just a little of hedging their bets I guess.

TalkOrigins is a junk propaganda site.

1. This thread is for DaveLoneRanger and AigBusted to post their exchanges without interruption from others. If you want to comment, do it on this thread instead: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1913314/posts

2. If you were able to identify anything actually wrong in the TalkOrigins links which AigBusted provided, you should have documented the errors (on the other thread), not just make a blanket condemnation of the source -- condemning the source without rebutting the material is one of the sleaziest forms of fallacy, the ad hominem fallacy.

3. If you've got the guts to actually attempt to substantiate your slur, I invite you to post for us (on the other thread) your three VERY BEST examples of things from the TalkOrigins.org website which support your characterization of that site. Then we'll have a look at your three best examples to see if they hold water or not, so as to evaluate the strength of your claim, and your credibility on this topic.

4. If you make the mistake of using Ashby Camp's attack on TalkOrigins, you're violating the challenge (because that contains more than three scattershot attacks at TalkOrigins), and setting yourself up for a fall, because Camp's an idiot. Nonetheless, if you want to plagiarize from him, select what you consider the three best examples from it, don't just fling his whole pile-o-garbage as a link.

I am surprised that the evos are not called on that all of the time.

TalkOrigins is seldom impugned because it is an extremely well researched and accurate site. Unfortunately, a number of anti-evolution activists foolishly try to attack the messenger instead of the material, as you have done here.

But even there if you dig deep enough, they will allude to the falsehoods and fabrications of the evolutionist ideology.

Gee, really? Name (on the other thread) your top three on *that* claim as well. This should be amusing.

Just a little of hedging their bets I guess.

Just a little sleazy innuendo and ad hominem without any specific examples given by you, I guess.
