re: #1048 thedopefishlives

I thought misquoting would refer to the practice of quoting incorrectly, or altering the original in some way.
I was just picking out the parts from a massive book that were relevant to the point I was making. Two fingered typing is not conducive to quoting large sections.
AND ANYWAY, I REPEAT: the point was not in the quote or the context. The point I was making was that Dawkins said that “Whence, then, comes the oft-parroted canard, “Evolution is only a theory”?”
When we see that Darwin himself, in his book, entitled a chapter, “Difficulties of the Theory,!” I was just bringing a quote or two from the chapter. The point was that if Darwin himself only called it a ‘theory,’ then why shouldn’t anyone else refer to it as a ‘theory?’ Which, after all is said and done, is all it is.
