Swedish geneticist Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, Professor of Botany at the University of Lund in Sweden, stated: "My attempts to demonstrate Evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. At least, I should hardly be accused of having started from a preconceived antievolutionary standpoint."

Just as an aside, did this quote strike anyone else as ridiculous? Is "Dr." Nils Heribert-Nilsson actually concluding that the theory of evolution is incorrect because he was not able to witness genetic mutation and evolution over a forty year period? Unless the organism he was observing has a life cyle of ~5 seconds, wouldn't this be totally absurd (since the theory of evolution explicitly predicts that evolution requires thousands and thousands of generations to occur?)
