If the quote is alleged to come from a particular correspondence, and when that correspondence is produced but the quote is not found within it...?
Is there a possibility that someone might have lied, or misquoted Darwin?

I think the more likely possibility is that the neo-evolutionists whose main desire is to perpetuate the myth of macroevolution have purposely posted links to the wrong letter. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
That really doesn't matter. You were the one who introduced the quotation. It is up to you to either support it, or withdraw it.

Percy, would you say that Darwin's contribution was the synthesis of methodology, where he offered the best (at least so far) explaination of the mechanisms involved?

I would agree with you. In fact, it's amazing that what he proposed has stood up so well over 150 years now.

How is it unanswered. You were asked to produce the source for your quote and the context of the letter and failed to do so.
I could say DarkStar said he supports macro-evolution. But unless I could show where you did so, I would have to retract and drop the allegation.

Re: While your waiting.....
Before trying to change the point of discussion, don't you think we still need to resolve the fact or your first assertion?
Shouldn't you retract all of your statements based on your first quote since you can not support it?

Re: One good fraud deserves another.....
You have not yet been able to support your first supposed quote. Why are you still including what you have been unable to confirm?
