How's this (breaking it up into two paragraphs as well):
Note that all of the above sites present the quote with a period at the
end that does not appear in the text. This avoids tipping the reader
off to the very significant phrase that follows the quoted bit.
But, beyond that, there is a clear attempt to confuse "disprovable"
with "disproved" and present this snippet as an admission of problems
in evolution. Gould's statement is, instead, a strong argument for the
health of evolutionary theory and against creationism masquerading as
science, making this one of the worst examples of quote mining in our
collection.
Looks good to me.

exposing the country to danger." -- Hermann Goering
