Jet, convince me that it is going to be worth my while researching the range of quotes that you have provided. Prove that you are going to recognise when a quote has been taken out of context. Prove that you will recognise when a quote is shown to be inconsistent with the person's published works then there is a valid question of accuracy of the quotation. Prove that you will accept that a generalised statement on evolution from the first half of the 20th century is not an accurate reflection on the current state of knowledge and thinking on evolution.
If you can do this with your own words then I might make the effort to address your cut-n-paste piece.

Mr P, well done on your preliminary analysis (at message #43) of Jet's quotes and putting the lie to his claim that "many of the quotes are from leading scientists over the past two decades." Should this be taken as an indication of Jet's ability to provide accurate information?
Jet, why don't you go for quality instead of quantity? What is your best "quote", the most recent, compelling, best supported statement from the "leadingest" scientist from your list at message #28? Maybe we can then examine that particular quote in detail to assess if it is as fatal to the theory of evolution as you think it is.
By the way, my request for you to "prove" certain things about yourself was quite appropriate where that person's concept of "proof" appears to be based on personal belief.

Jet, are you going to take up my suggestion of discussing your best quotation?
