Here's a quotation from Dr Colin Patterson:
Because creationists lack scientific research to support such theories as a young earth ... a world-wide flood ... or separate ancestry for humans and apes, their common tactic is to attack evolution by hunting out debate or dissent among evolutionary biologists. ... I learned that one should think carefully about candour in argument (in publications, lectures, or correspondence) in case one was furnishing creationist campaigners with ammunition in the form of 'quotable quotes', often taken out of context.
Your creationist play book is a bit behind the times on this one - your quoted source does not deny evolution - he studied it and worked as an evolutionary scientist. He denied creationism and creationist arguments. He is really not a good source for you.
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
