On what basis do you assert that the posted assertions are from scientists with dubious credentials or crackpots?

One was a physicist, the other a philosopher, and hence had dubious credentials. You cited the quotations of a couple biologists, whose credentials were not dubious, but given that they weren't even complete sentences, experience leads me to suggest they were taken out of context.

But more importantly, you weren't posting arguments. Only assertions, which carry zero weight.

"Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists--whether through design or stupidity, I do not know--as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups. Yet a pamphlet entitled 'Harvard Scientists Agree Evolution Is a Hoax' states: 'The facts of punctuated equilibrium which Gould and Eldredge...are forcing Darwinists to swallow fit the picture that Bryan insisted on, and which God has revealed to us in the Bible.'"

- Stephen Jay Gould,
"Evolution as Fact and Theory"

How people that do this can call themselves Christians boggles the mind.
