Diluvio e zoologia

A quanto pare questa prassi è piuttosto comune anche in altre lingue. In un forum in lingua inglese, un certo ruffles ha riportato la stessa citazione (puntini compresi) del libro di Catcott:

Is there geological evidence of the Flood? Indeed there is, and it has long been recognized by various scholars. For example, in 1761 Alexander Catcott, A.M., wrote A Treatise on the Deluge, citing what he considered to be proof of the cataclysm. He has been quoted as saying: "We appeal once more to Nature and find that there are, at this day, as evident, as demonstrative, as incontestable proofs of the Deluge over the face of the earth . . . as if it had happened last year . . . Search the earth; you will find the moose-deer, native of America, buried in Ireland; elephants, natives of Asia and Africa, buried in the midst of England; crocodiles, natives of the Nile, in the heart of Germany; shell-fish, never known in the American seas, together with the entire skeletons of whales, in the most inland regions of England; trees of vast dimensions, with their roots and their tops, and some also with leaves and fruit, at the bottom of mines.

E' chiaro che anche in questo caso si tratta di un copia/incolla della medesima fonte (Awake! del 1977).
A meno che non dobbiamo pensare che i puntini si trovano nell'originale!
