Nice quote mining. I notice you fail to post Darwin's response to this hypothetical question, where he shows that there is no problem with the fossil record and we see what is expected. Typical creationist trick.

" If the fossil record is as expected - why abandon Darwinism for punctuated equilibrium?"

Another quote mine, this time with Gould. Nobody *abandoned* Darwin. Darwin explained speciation in terms of stasis and increased change. PE is not against Darwin; properly understood it's always been a part of evolutionary thinking.

" In the end the emperor has no clothes and God gets the last laugh!"

Yes, he's laughing at you for being so ignorant about what he created.

Yes, that is true I am ignorant. That I freely confess, and I will remain so if I do not look both to general and special revelation to lift me from my ignorance. When I read what God has written I understand ..."For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" Rom 1

It is not just your epistemological rebellion, but your thanklessness to the God of creation that has so darkened your thinking.

Ignorance is a part of the human condition - atheism just makes it permanent.
