  It's not a misquote. What is quoted from his words belies the context. He is a contradicting himself.

  There are a hundred more questions like these that have been put to evolutionists. Not an answer from these self-inflated pseudoscientists.

  How did sex originate?

  Asexual reproduction gives up to twice as much reproductive success (‘fitness’) for the same resources as sexual reproduction, so how could the latter ever gain enough advantage to be selected? And how could mere physics and chemistry invent the complementary apparatuses needed at the same time (non-intelligent processes cannot plan for future coordination of male and female organs).

  THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE.

  Why is natural selection, a principle recognized by creationists, taught as ‘evolution’, as if it explains the origin of the diversity of life? By definition it is a selective process (selecting from already existing information), so is not a creative process.

  It might explain the survival of the fittest (why certain genes benefit creatures more in certain environments), but not the arrival of the fittest (where the genes and creatures came from in the first place).

  The death of individuals not adapted to an environment and the survival of those that are suited does not explain the origin of the traits that make an organism adapted to an environment. E.g., how do minor back-and-forth variations in finch beaks explain the origin of beaks or finches? How does natural selection explain goo-to-you evolution?

  How did new biochemical pathways, which involve multiple enzymes working together in sequence, originate?

  
  Every pathway and nano-machine requires multiple protein/enzyme components to work. How did lucky accidents create even one of the components, let alone 10 or 20 or 30 at the same time, often in a necessary programmed sequence.

  Evolutionary biochemist Franklin Harold wrote, “we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical or cellular system, only a variety of wishful speculations.”

  How could mutations—accidental copying mistakes (DNA ‘letters’ exchanged, deleted or added, genes duplicated, chromosome inversions, etc.)—create the huge volumes of information in the DNA of living things?

  
  How could such errors create 3 billion letters of DNA information to change a microbe into a microbiologist? There is information for how to make proteins but also for controlling their use—much like a cookbook contains the ingredients as well as the instructions for how and when to use them. One without the other is useless. See: Meta-information: An impossible conundrum for evolution. Mutations are known for their destructive effects, including over 1,000 human diseases such as hemophilia. Rarely are they even helpful.

  How can scrambling existing DNA information create a new biochemical pathway or nano-machines with many components, to make ‘goo-to-you’ evolution possible? E.g., How did a 32-component rotary motor like ATP synthase (which produces the energy currency, ATP, for all life), or robots like kinesin (a ‘postman’ delivering parcels inside cells) originate?

  How did the DNA code originate?

  
  The code is a sophisticated language system with letters and words where the meaning of the words is unrelated to the chemical properties of the letters—just as the information on this page is not a product of the chemical properties of the ink (or pixels on a screen). What other coding system has existed without intelligent design? How did the DNA coding system arise without it being created?

  How did life originate?

  
  1) Evolutionist Professor Paul Davies admitted, “Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell.”

  2) Andrew Knoll, professor of biology, Harvard, said, “we don’t really know how life originated on this planet”.2 A minimal cell needs several hundred proteins. Even if every atom in the universe were an experiment with all the correct amino acids present for every possible molecular vibration in the supposed evolutionary age of the universe, not even one average-sized functional protein would form.

  So how did life with hundreds of proteins originate just by chemistry without intelligent design?

  "Me thinks "theory" is the right word and it was applied correctly" - Nimble Duck

  Do you think that may be because you are not aware that words have different definitions in science and other specialist fields. Have a look at this word: nomenclature. Google it...

  After that google supposition...

  Then look up what or means.
  

  or1

  ôr/

  conjunction

  conjunction: or

  1. 1.

     used to link alternatives.

     "a cup of tea or coffee"
  2. 2.

     introducing a synonym or explanation of a preceding word or phrase.

     "the espionage novel, or, as it is known in the trade, the thriller"
  3. 3.

     otherwise (used to introduce the consequences of something not being done or not being the case).

     "hurry up, or you'll miss it all"
  4. 4.

     introducing an afterthought, usually in the form of a question.

     "John's indifference—or was it?—left her unsettled"
  5. 5.

     literary

     either.

     "to love is the one way to know or God or man"

  
  

  sup·po·si·tion

  ˌsəpəˈziSH(ə)n/

  noun

  noun: supposition; plural noun: suppositions

  an uncertain belief.

  "they were working on the supposition that his death was murder"

  synonyms:belief, surmise, idea, notion, suspicion, conjecture, speculation, inference, theory, hypothesis, postulation, guess, feeling, hunch, assumption, presumption

  "her supposition is based on previous results"

  
  

  So evolution is a theory OR supposition. Take your pick. Either way, it's BS

  Perry, you are wasting your time with these people. Just read the stuff "Saename" posts. You want to try to reason with that?

  They hurl insults. They throw pseudoscience BS in your face. They write posts that fold in on themselves and then when you question their spin they tell you that you are stupid and act like babies.
