Very interesting read. A good examination that shows how the quotes have sometimes been manipulated to give a deceptive meaning. A very useful exercise. Thank you for your hard work.

I have 8 more quotes to go and I will be done with all quotes in Chapter 2!
The hardest quotes to get will be:
5. The Star, Johannesburg, “The Evolution of a Theory,” by Christopher Booker, April 20, 1982, p. 19. 16. The World Book Encyclopedia, 1982, Vol. 6, p. 335.
Anyone here from South Africa that can help me get that newspaper article?
The World Book Encyclopedia one will be hard because most libraries don't stock all the editions of all encyclopedias... However, I did see 1982 individual volumes (and the whole set too!) on Ebay.
The individual volume would be only like $4 to purchase...

ILoveTTATT: You make an excellent point on page 2 of your analysis, "Creationist propaganda generally only quotes the problem, but not the solution."
Are you familiar with the Awake! articles on propaganda? It's a really insightful read. To my mind, it is pretty conclusive evidence that the WTBTS writers are quite aware of what they are doing, they are aware of their deceptive techniques and practices and the methods of using propaganda to manipulate.
Here's a quote from the last article to get you started:
THERE is a difference—a big difference—between education and propaganda. Education shows you how to think. Propaganda tells you what to think. Good educators present all sides of an issue and encourage discussion. Propagandists relentlessly force you to hear their view and discourage discussion. - Awake!, June 22, 2000, pp. 9-11 – [Emphasis added]
You can acces all three articles in the June 22, 2000 Awake here, or use the following links for each one individually:
- Propaganda Can Be Deadly - g00 6/22 p. 3
- The Manipulation of Information - g00 6/22 pp. 4-8
- Do Not Be a Victim of Propaganda! - g00 6/22 pp. 9-11
