Using references appropriately has nothing wrong with it. Typical creationist quote mining does.
Your sentence is ambiguous. What quote from Sagan is uncontroversial? Yours, or mine correcting the false impression you gave? Your "hostile witness" idea only works if the Sagan quote you used actually represents the truth of sagan's considered views. So, do you think your quote of Sagan was a true reflection of his views of mutation as it relates to evolution, or do you think the quotes I offered, including the one from very nearby yours are a better and more accurate reflection of Sagan's opinion? As a trained educator, is your response to objection from children as dismissive? Do you only sulkily capitulate after a schoolchild does university library work to show that you are not being truthful? Is that indicative of peak practice in your workplace? Moving on: I think it is "cute" that you now think you can tell me, someone who has done extensive genomic, protein and expression analysis, what is important to evolution when you couldn't acknowledge a basic finding just a few days ago. Come on Dan, tell us about the information content of genomes. Tell us how the gene for a beta-lactamase selected for amoxycillin resistance from random mutatnts of beta-lactamase previously selected for penicillin differs in "information content", and how you could tell. Tell us how the "information content" could be measured, and the context. Tell us how actual molecular interactions are not important to the information content of something that has it's being and exerts all interesting properties through such molecular interactions. Your use of the term is an attempt to snow the ignorant. It is possible you are just one of the ignorant so snowed by others, but you claim higher degrees, so as far as I am concerned, you should display the competance they imply, rather than merely using it to add glitter to something lacking such imprimatur. To do otherwise is in my opinion as dishonest as the Carl Sagan quote, something you have not resolved to my satisfaction. Are creationists just habitually dishonest?

Dear OUG,
"clearly/oliver...dosnt read/replies.." I have interacted here many times: In sum, you do believe in micro-evolution (as you call it) but not macro-evolution and that there has never been a new genus. I have provided examples and links across several thread as readers here know. Dan even acknowledges the evidence, or, at the existence of evidence, but choices not to believe it, which is his right. All, It would appears some theists (some Christians included)hold the less likely true against a clear mountain of evidence as proving their faith. I would not agree that most Christians I know take the Bible literature despite any claims to be "infallible" in the preface. Dan, What are the sentences around Carl Sagan's 1977 quote. As I siad above, the fundamentalist sites always start mid-sentence with an elipsis. What did he say in context? All, What concerns me is OUG and Dan are fed diagolue by other parties and that there is little inclination to test claims against twenty-first century understanding of the World,even though even many/most Christians accept the findings as true: e.g., findings in biology and physics.

OUG,
What do you think about Dan not believing in micro-evolution, I am representing him correcly? Or George who s happy to believe in God and accept science? O. Posted by Oliver, Sunday, 5 September 2010 10:11:37 AM

Evolution cannot-cause..an increase/in information.
quoterd/Source:AIG,..n.d./Creation-Education..Center.>> http://www.answersingenesis.org/cec/docs/CvE_report.asp
so visited..the link
couldnt find..the random-noise..
but loosly..this might relate
<<..If you are assigned..a specific topic,..
please be sure to/stick to..the topic given.>>...good-advice
<<For example,..if your set/topic..is..“antibiotics,”..then it is worth explaining..antibiotic resistance..
and why/this..is not*..an example-of..*particles-to-people*..evolution..because no/new information..is ever generated.>>
so again...YOU quote..out/of context..
simply by quoting a deceptive-link
here goes..what the refered/to link ...is saying
anti-biotic..resistance=micro-evolution...within..the genus
particles-to-people=macro-evolution..exta...OUT_OF..genus
PLEASWE_NOTE..allthe referances...OF YOUR LINK
refer..to vairiation/mutation...IN THE SAME SPECIES
so your/link..then-rebuts..its own miss-definition's
BY selectivly..quoting..what it DOES have evidence...FOR
to/wit...MICRO-evolution..within species/within genus
studiously/ignoring..that it dont..cant..have evidence for
to/wit...mutation..OUT OF GENUS..[macro-evolution]
this type-of/point..scoring..only fools idiots
but thanks for the link to the link
i learned..from-it
you lot even need to change..the definition..of theory
<<Do not say “evolution..is just a theory.”>>
MAINLY BECAUSE>>>THERE IS TWO FORMS>>OF EVOLUTION
one valid[micro-evolution]
the other fraud...macro-evolution
<<While you/probably mean..“evolution is unproven,”>>
to wit particle/people[macro-evolution]
<<..the problem/with calling evolution..“a theory”..is that scientists..use the word differently..from laymen...A..“theory”/in science means..a well-substantiated explanation of data.>>
that should be written//more closely..to the reality..[using the macro/micro...forms of differentiuated evolutions...and that ANY-data..relates only to the micro/evolving..within its genus/specie
thus this MACRO-evolution..called..<<The evolution/conjecture..should not-be..called a..“theory,”..because this gives/it..unwarranted respectability/by association..with the Theory/of Relativity,/Newton’s-Theory of Gravity,..the Debye-Hückel/theory of electrolytes, etc.>>
<<All these/..theories..have strong experimental-support..(although Newton’s theory..has been augmented/by Einstein’s)...In contrast, evolution...of life/from* non*-living*/matter>>
<<..and from..one-basic/type*..of organism..*to a different*-type..has not/the slightest..experimental/observational support.>>>
AND THAT_IS TRUE
because your link...ONLY talks of..micro-evolution[WITHIN..genus/within..species]
but retards...kept..DELIBERATLY..ignorant..of the full-facts...
DONT know any-better
and look so foolish..re quoting..the same ignorantly/deceptive referances/lol...as rebuttal[while ignoring the whole/context]
so easilly refuted..by those knowing the truth of the deceptions...is pure/LIES...
also note[re-your/link]...he dont give many..references...
ACCES-ABLE on the web...because the tryuth..is deliberatly..hidden
sure he quotes/studies
but you just try accesing them...lol
thats the joke
you want believability[let alone..claim..to science-fact...lol
PRESENT..working links..to those youlot..referance/out of context
