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.

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?

PatrickHenry asked for one quote to examine, and I provided several quotes by one person. William Provine was one of the most highly respected sources in biology until his demise. Furthermore, I have examined the quotes, and posted the sources. If you want to disputre them, then feel free to post your arguments regardins each and every one.
