You obviously chose to ignore the rest of the chapter where Darwin said the fossil record was not a problem. Typical.

More likely, he's only read that one paragraph from creationist websites, rather than from the book itself.

Be fair. ChessExpert claims to have understood the opening sentence of the chapter. But then Chuck started to use longer sentences, bigger words, and aubordinate clauses, and it got all too complicated.

I’ve been accused of not reading the chapter, not understanding the chapter, and now, misrepresenting the chapter. All accusations are made with absolute certainty, no evidence, and are all wrong.

The quote was from the last (concluding) paragraph! I think it captures the entire chapter fairly well. And so does the title of the chapter: “On the Imperfection of the Geological Record.” Or, “since the facts don’t support the theory, malign the facts.” This has since been augmented by neo-Darwinists to include “malign the critics.”
