"This is not to imply that we know everything that can and should be known about biology and about evolution. Any competent biologist is aware of a multitude of problems yet unresolved and of questions yet unanswered. After all, biologic research shows no sign of approaching completion; quite the opposite is true. Disagreements and clashes of opinion are rife among biologists, as they should be in a living and growing science. Antievolutionists mistake, or pretend to mistake, these disagreements as indications of dubiousness of the entire doctrine of evolution. Their favorite sport is stringing together quotations, carefully and sometimes expertly taken out of context, to show that nothing is really established or agreed upon among evolutionists. Some of my colleagues and myself have been amused and amazed to read ourselves quoted in a way showing that we are really antievolutionists under the skin."

- Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900-1975), "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution"

(I added this because you have a T. Dobzhansky misquote in your selection. If you'd double check the actual provenance of the quotes instead of simply copying and pasting from creationists websites this would not be such a problem.)

Do you type all your quotes in?

I think quotes are acceptable to cut & paste.
Afterall, they are quotes, right?
