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

Somehow, I don't think you are trying to be fair. Snide maybe?
To be correct, the text cited was from the concluding paragraph of the chapter, not the first. I understood the entire paragraph, but found it unpersuasive. Read it carefully, without prejudice, and you might find it unpersuasive also.
And shouldn'tt your name be Monkey Boy? :)
