Sure... You've just condemned every 20th century textbook that tried to pass off Häckel's forgeries, but we know you don't mean a word of it.

CTD, you claim that Hovind is correcting "lies" in the textbooks. I've seen examples of his selective quoting tactics to convince his (already credulous) audience that textbooks are full of "lies" and I've listened to him state scientific inaccuracies.
I've seen your knee-jerk accusations about quotes. Just because you don't like it, you think you can say it's "out-of-context". Truth doesn't work that way.

But I'm certainly willing to listen to one or two salient points you think he has made about how science textbooks are erroneous. Would you present the evidence please?
You've never been willing to listen to anything before; why should today be different? Naturally, you're welcome to repent at any time. But if you want to convince me you're sincere, you can start by acknowledging any one of the occasions when your own sources have shown your claims to be bogus.

If you want me to accept the things RAZD's links say about HY, you can start by explaining why the picture of HY in prison depicts a man at least 15 years younger than the one pictured in the online book. Did HY fake his own prison photo? Or maybe you & RAZD can produce math which accounts for this? Contrary to assumptions, I practice verification. (Not that I have the means to verify either way with certainty, but one likes to keep in practice.)
