yes. "Variations do not increase" as opposed to "evolution sometimes goes
fast and sometimes slow." They do not sound like identical converstaions to
me. Maybe I'm missing something.

and if they are dishonestly edited in order to sound interesting to a
creationist? What are you actually reading? You aren't reading anything
about evolution!
I've often thought I should make a collection of out-of-context creationist
quotes. Something that proves conclusively that Behe and Johnson are
atheists and rabid evolutionists. Now *there* would be some quotes that
were interesting!!!
