Creation Myths | Creation Trick: Quote-Mine the Abstract @CreationMyths | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 23 minutes ago.
Any time you see a creationist quote a paper in such a way that the authors seem to support the creationist position, look up that paper. There's a good change they're quoting the "setup" line from the abstract, in which the authors state the problem they're going to address. Creationists love to take that line out of context and present it as though that's the position the authors hold, even when the actual paper says and shows the opposite.
Shout out to @GutsickGibbon for catching the Lynch example during our Dismantled series.
