(On Sat, 11 May 1996, Ed Conrad wrote to talk.origins, etc., in
response to Michael Clark's accusation that he had used only
a portion of Charles Darwin's quote in which he expressed
serious doubts about the evolution of the eye:

I thought I said what Darwin had said but Dave Iain Greig at
Ediacara U., a colleague of mine at Ediacara University,
said what I said wasn't what Darwin said because he said Darwin said
something more than what I said he said, then Steve Vickers of UK
sends an E-Mail and said he knows what Darwin said, which is not
entirely what I said he said, so I said to myself, ` I'll say what
he said Darwin said even though I don't know if he really said it,
since this is what he said he had said.

Actually, Michael, it doesn't really matter what Darwin said or what
these fellas said he said -- or what they said I didn't say -- since
what I said, whether Darwin said it or not, isn't something that was
vital to say, and I'm sort of saying he had painted himself into a
corner and said what he thought he'd better say, else critics would
say he really had nothing to say, even though he had said it.

again.

Ed Conrad...
It means the bones have to be older than the material in which
they are encased..


Ed Conrad...
Same as many thousands of other petrified bones, teeth
and soft organs I've discovered between anthracite veins,
they offer the undeniable physical evidence that large land
animals -- man included -- had existed on earth while
coal was being formed some280 million years ago..
