I believe it was Julian Huxley (but it might have been a different Huxley) who said, "Darwin's theory allowed us to get rid of God, and God was really getting in the way of our sex lives." My memory of the exacting wording and source of the quote is sufficiently vague that it's not verifiable without more effort than it's worth.

I googled it, but couldn't find it among any of his writings available online. Which doesn't really mean anything. Nor does it justify you being accused of lying.

Nor does it justify you being accused of lying.No, I don't think so, either, but I'm not going to have a Spasm over it. Given how vague my memory was, it was a poor decision to offer something so fuzzy.

I could say something equivalent about you, and it would show up on google in a few days. Inflammatory quotes by famous people will show up.
It's a false quote, even if it was qualified with an "I'm not sure".
Why would you say something derogatory about an entire family if you're not sure?
