"'''Moving the goalposts'''" is a [[British]] expression first popularized in the late 20th century and is obscure in [[America]] outside of use by elitist liberals such as [[evolutionists]] in debates. It is allegedly the practice of, in an argument, one person challenging the other to meet a certain set of conditions in order to prove something, and then proceeding to change those conditions after they have been met by the other person. Essentially, moving the goalposts is when an evolutionist tells you ''"Show me proof of God!"'', and, after being shown the Bible, telling you that ''"Um...the Bible doesn't count! Show me something else!"'' | "'''Moving the goalposts'''" is a [[British]] expression first popularized in the late 20th century and is obscure in [[America]] outside of use by elitist liberals such as [[evolutionists]] in debates.
