Wrong.

Gould formulated the theory of punctuated equilibrium NOT to explain "macro-evolution" (which is Creationist terminology) or speciation (the scientific term); but to better explain the observed fossil record where creatures can exist without substantial change for a long period of time (equilibrium) and then suddenly there is a big change in lots of different species apparently all at the same time (punctuated).

I'd accept Creationist/ID'ers arguments as being intellectually honest and derived at from a basis of knowledge if they could at least get ONE SINGLE THING RIGHT. So far they are batting 0, and showing that they clearly don't understand what they purport to not believe.

Yes, Gould looked at the fossil record and saw NO good evidence of macro-evolution (especially with the Cambrian explosion). Again, why did he come to that conclusion? You still haven't explained why he did that. By the way, I need to go now because of another project. Freep mail me when you can come up with a good reason that explains Gould's actions.
