Fake quote

"Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation which is unthinkable."

This quote was allegedly taken from the foreward Keith wrote in the 100th anniversary edition of Darwin's Origin of Speciesin 1959. This is false. He wrote an introduction to an edition of this book, but that was nearly 30 years before. Keith died in 1955. This quote is nothing more than a fabrication by creationists.
