Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing, anything that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time, and eventually one person said, “I do know one thing—it ought not be taught in high school.”

Hey Glenn,
Do you think this link bears any weight on the quote:

Just curious. You don;t have to publish my comment. Delete this.
Jesse,
No. Because it is a red herring. We creationists have never suggested that Patterson was in any way supportive of our position, as the article you linked to suggests. We only use it to point out that they have their OWN issues with Evolution.
(and your comment is germane)
Well, in that case, this quote is pretty damning.
Anyway, I've compiled a few others here:
