'''Quote mining''' is a knee-jerk claim made by evolutionists that a quote of an evolutionists admitting one or more of the many weaknesses of the evolutionary paradigm is being taken out of context when in most cases it is certainly not. This reflexive denialism and/or obfuscation occurs because Darwinism is an errant religion often practiced by dogmatists and it is not [[science]]. The Darwinist and atheist philosopher of science [[Michael Ruse]] admitted: "[[Evolution]] is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.”<ref>[http://creation.com/15-questions 15 questions for evolutionists]</ref>

Quote mining does not refer simply to taking a [[quote out of context]], as there is already a well-understood phrase for that. Rather, the charge of "quote mining" reflects an objection to quoting someone for criticizing his own belief system, on the theory that if he still believes in the system then it is somehow unfair to quote his criticism of it.
