So now your saying Darwin was a gradualist?

Darwin wrote extensively about both gradualism and saltation. Without radiometric dating and ERVs, and with the rather skimpy fossil record at his disposal, he had no way of settling the issue.

The fact is he understod the problem thoroughly.

Darwin was a gradualist. The fossil record contradicts gradualism i.e. Darwin.

Hence the theory needs patching via things like punctuated equilibrium.

The point of which is that Ann Coulter is right.
