End quote- just let me know when you decide you want to rise above the pettiness and ask civily for the rest.

" Real experts on the subject are aware that there is no scientific foundation for the claim of human evolution. David Pilbeam, a Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:
If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there isn't enough to go on.""

"Why is not every ge******* and every ******* *** *** such *******? ******* assuredly does not ***** ****** ****** ******* ***** **** ******; and this is *** ***** ****** **** ****** ****** ****** ******* *** ****** ***** the theory.1" So, may I assume that the quote of your little schnitzeljagd was:
why is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain, and this perhaps is the greatest objection which can be urged against my theory.
Amusingly, that's a typical example of quote-mining:
why is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? is taken from Chapter 6 of the "Origin of species" while Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain, and this perhaps is the greatest objection which can be urged against my theory. comes form Chapter 9 of the same book.
To built of a quote this way should be taken as a sign of dishonesty - I presume, not of your side, but of Don Patton, the manufactured that quote (Or do you claim that you distorted Darwin yourself?)
Darwin often states some questions at the beginning of a chapter, just to answer them in the very chapter...

Wow, you really do need help.
Keep it up, you are entertaining in a sad kind of way.

I love it! It reads like Bill Clinton's personal Bible.
He's got the Ten Commandments whittled down to three.
