Does anyone know of any examples where supporters of evolution have quote-mined creationists/anti-evolutionists? Curious if it ever goes the other way…
Back in the day when I haunted talk.origins, I think there were a few occasions of it but I never saved them because, once it became clear what had happened, there was such condemnation by the group as a whole, that it seemed an abberation. I’m sure, though, if you search creationist sites, perhaps especially the Discovery Institute’s Ministry of Misinformation, you’ll find many claims they were misquoted (or at least misinterpreted) by “Darwinists.” I also think you’ll find, if you make the effort (which they’re counting on the average reader NOT doing), that any confusion is the result of their penchant for speaking out of both sides of their mouths.
