misquotation

today I found one of the most outragous misquotes ever from a creationis. this is not a creation/evoluton blog, but the subject is a hobby of mine. anyway, if anyone ever wanted to see proof of creationists having no academic scruples, go here. Mayer blatantly misquots dawkins:

[quote=”Stephen C Meyerurl:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/01/28/do2803.xml”%5DInsert Contrary to media reports, ID is not a religious-based idea, but an evidence-based scientific theory about life’s origins. According to Darwinian biologists such as Oxford University’s Richard Dawkins, living systems “give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose”.[/quote]

whats so amusing and pathetic is that anyone who knows aything about the subject will know that dawkins openly and veehemently speaks against religgion and creationism, and the full text of th quote is ”Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose but are indeed, not.” how can anyone get away with such misrepresentation, especially in a national newspaper? moreover, the misquote appears in creationist sites all over the place. how irronic, how absurd, and how deceitful?
