[QUOTE="Jerry Smith, post: 175877, member: 2568"] I don't think Gould has any problem with Bible-thumpers in general. He just doesn't like the ones that splice his words to give the false appearance that he thinks "Darwinian evolution is silly." The fact that these folks have made it seem "clear cut" to you that this is, in fact, his position, is a testament to their dishonesty. Gould is a paleontologist and is very friendly to Darwinian evolution: his controversy is over the tempo of Darwininan evolution - relative uniform gradualism versus long periods of comparative stasis with brief periods of relatively quick evolution interrupting them. His statements about the fossil record are meant to support his view that gradualism is less well-supported than "punctuated equilibrium" - they do not point to anything that falsifies darwinian evolution.
