![]() OF COURSE I read your post on quote-mining; I read everything you write- I just can't possibly keep up with the pace of reply! And no, I don't agree- in fact, I've seen this one so many times that it's a red rag to a bull. What Darwin has done in the first bit you quoted is, with a somewhat dramatical flourish, pose a rhetorical question, which he then proceeds to answer. Let's say, to quote a hypothetical situation, you were posting on Divine Justice, in response to a savage attack based on Numbers 31 ![]() You might say, "When we see the terrible events which occur here, we can hardly help but agree that there is no Divine Justice or Good . However, when we look at this in light of what we know about God, we can see how this is justified by etc. etc." If I quoted only your first sentence "Rian herself says: ..." you would quite rightly accuse me of distorting your meaning.
