The heat? It's the spam that's getting a bit too much. Tell you what. Pick your favorite quote from among all those you posted. The one that makes what you consider the strongest case for your side. Post that one again and I'll deal with it. Prediction: It's either (a) out of context; (b) untraceable; (c) by someone who's not a professional biologist; or (d) worthless for some other reason. But I promise you if you give me your very best quote I'll deal with it. Then, we can go on to your second favorite. Okay?

Take all of the William Provine quotes together. He clearly made those comments and they are not taken out of context. BTW, I also have some of his comments being made on video.

Where are they? You've posted about 50 items. And please give me the one best. I'm not going to make a career out of debunking dozens of silly quotes. I want your strongest quote. Surely you're capable of making that kind of evaluation.

Clearly what you are implying with this and other quotes here is that one person speaks for an entire group with his statements. Does Arlen Specter speak for the entire Republican Party? Does Ken Ham speak for all of the creationists? You are a walking logical fallacy my friend, and you need to re-evaluate your entire argument, because it suffers from many holes (not just this, but also the fact that you obviously haven't checked your sources). You say you have, but if you had read the talk.origins webpage on Patterson's quote, you would have found it was incorrectly quoted. So did you REALLY check all of your sources? Or was that a lie?
