The cited Kurzweil Library page, titled "Ray Kurzweil Q&A with Darwin Magazine" and dated December 3, 2001, attributes the interview response to Ray Kurzweil and contains the same opening sentence and ending sentence as your quote, with one intervening sentence omitted. That makes the submitted version a faithful ellipsis rather than a material alteration, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed.
