   'Quote from Sir Arthur Keith, a noted anthropologist and devout   
   Darwinian Evolutionist : " Evolution is unproved and unprovable . We   
   believe it because the only alternative is special creation, and that is   
   unthinkable"   
      
   Quote #81   
       "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only   
   because the only alternative is special creation which is unthinkable."   
   (Keith, Arthur, forward to 100th anniversary edition of Charles Darwin's   
   Origin of Species,   
   1959)   
   The quote that is attributed to Sir Arthur Keith is a figment of the   
   creationists imagination. I researched that quote a month or two ago and   
   could not find a trace of it. No library in the Atlanta metro area has   
   this particular edition and neither Amazon nor Barnes and Noble has this   
   edition. I am in nine newsgroups and no one in these NGs had a copy or   
   had ever seen one. A search of the internet showed many references for   
   this quote but every one of them was from a creationist site. It is also   
   amazing because that Sir Arthur died in 1955 and the 100th anniversary   
   edition would not have been issued until 1959. Tell me, did "God" write   
   this for Sir Arthur from heaven?

   REPLY:  This quote is on many website Famous Quote lists , and NOT just   
   creationist propoganda.  Further, it is an established fact that Macro   
   Evolutionists MUST NOT even consider God/Special Creation because they   
   have an apriori philisophical bias toward atheism.  A 'Natural' cause   
   for EVERYTHING must be made to fit the many questions regarding life ,   
   origins, etc.... and all the while pretending that theres no intelligent   
   design in ANYTHING !   Being an atheist requires one to be willfully   
   ignorant, a pretender, very naive,  in order to maintain ones   
   philisophical bias based on personal ulterior motives which always   
   includes some degree of autonomous lifestyle choices .
