Tom Scharle forwarded this to me.
Recently, I came across this paragraph in an early anti-evolutionist writing:
Professor Fleischmann sums up his estimate of the Darwinian theory of the descent of man by affirming that "it has in the realms of nature not a single fact to confirm it. It is not the result of scientific research, but purely the product of the imagination."This is from an essay called "Evolutionism in the Pulpit" "By an occupant of the pew". From "Herald and Presbyter," November 22, 1911, Cincinnati, O.
Reprinted as Chapter II in Volume VIII of "The Fundamentals, A Testimony to the Truth", pages 27-35. The quotation is from page 29.
It, in turn, is reprinted in Volume 3 of "The Fundamentals, A Testimony to Truth", ed. George M. Marsden, Garland Publishing, 1988.
Regulars on talk.origins may recognize the name of Professor Fleischmann of Erlangen, and even this quotation. Please note that the source of this quotation from Fleischmann is not given; but, more significantly, that, at the latest it is from 1911 [sic].
Those who quote this might consider the possibility that some developments in evolutionary biology might have taken place in the last 85 years.
