I recognized and remembered the letter ALS was quoting from right off. It was only a matter of find the text on the interent.

Dang. The sources of the original fake Darwin quote posted by ALS wasn't on the net. I had to get the book and scan it. He went even further than simply quoting out of context. What was presented as a single quote from a letter turned out to be assembled from two partial sentences from tow separate letters to two different recipients. to top that off, the quote started with a capital letter, even though it started in midsentence.

Needless to say, the full context demonstrated that the fabricated quote said the opposite of what what the author intended.

That thread got pulled pretty soon thereafter, but I have the material to recreate the context. An the fabricated quote is heavily featured on many creationist websites. Shamelessly.

Which quote was that?

Perhaps the Creationists are really Gray Lady Intern trainees.

Man, oh, man. Talk about bearing false witness. A mortal sin, to boot. Or maybe they don't think they're breaking one of the Ten Commandments when the victim is dead.

Thank you for taking the time to scan the page, you're a gentleman and a scholar.
