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.
