: The term doesn't mean anything. It's a tactic used to avoid answering a question.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 16:44, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

:: It basically means the following:
:: Creationist asks question to evolutionist
:: Evolutionist answers correctly
:: Creationist says: actually I meant this and he adds another constraint to the question
:: Evolutionist answers the question correctly with the new constraint
:: Creationist replies that another limitation applies
:: Seeing that he can't win the debate as the creationist keeps changing his question he states:
:: ''You're moving the goalposts''
:: It's basically a response to a tactic used by creationists that is set up for the evolutionist to lose the debate. Rationally the full meaning is clear to someone who reads the bible, but evolutionists need constant reminders to debate on par with the creationist. As such the question needs constant clarification for the closed-minded evolutionist.[[User:PeterZ|PeterZ]] 07:53, 2 July 2010 (EDT)
