Much time is in invested looking things up and triple-checking resources. I feel I need to be especially diligent to document my sources on this topic of ID.<BR/><BR/>I agree wholeheartdly with this. Much creation (and to a lesser extent ID) evidence and arguments are inadequately backed up by referenced sources.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the most eggregious example of this was when the Australian <A HREF="http://creationwiki.org/Creation_Science_Foundation" REL="nofollow">Creation Science Foundation</A> in 1984 issued a "The Quote Book," the subtitle of which was "112 Quotable Quotes on Creation/Evolution by Leading Scientific Authorities" but which it later admitted "Some of these" quotes were "simply written down on a card after listening to a creation speaker at a lecture"!:<BR/><BR/>"In 1984, when the original <I>Quote Book</I> was released, the impact was tremendous. ... Stung, several of the evolutionary establishment in this country went through the book with a fine-tooth comb. To their delight and our surprised dismay, they found that a minority (a distinct minority) of the quotes were somewhat different from the original! How had this happened? With CSF, as usual, sorely under-funded, overworked at the time, the original <I>Quote Book</I> had been hastily put together from quotes sent in by a number of people. Some of these turned out to have been simply written down on a card after listening to a creation speaker at a lecture-which of course is often quite legitimately done as a paraphrase, not a direct quote. We are not offering excuses here-the work was withdrawn from sale when its handful of errors came to embarrassed attention." (Snelling, A.A., "The Revised Quote Book," [1984], Creation Science Foundation: Brisbane Qld, Australia, 1990, inside cover) <BR/><BR/>Stephen E. JonesStephen E.
