I'm appalled! Brian is seriously misleading everyone.

It was the evolutionist Foghorn Leghorn who uttered these words, in a speech
at Harvard University in 1970, when someone asked him if he really believed
modern man evolved.

"Yes," he answered, and then he whispered to Stephen Jay Gould who was sitting
next to him, "That's a joke, son."

A lawyer who was taping the proceedings caught this.
