Obscure quotes? From renown evolutionists like Stephen J. Gould?

Sparky notes alter can't refute or address any of the quotes by experts that refutes his blind faith in evolution.

Even Gould knew that the fossil record refuted Darwin. Of course, you could always go with Gould's explanation -- evolution happened so fast, it didn't leave proof in the fossil record...But, then, we're supposed to believe it slowed down so it couldn't be observed.

Now Sparky, don't give me that.

You take one sentence, and you place it out of context, and you think that's the subject for legitimate debate?

Gould's views are well known and well argued and he certainly didn't believe in creationism or in the non-existence of transitional fossils. Having known Professor Gould slightly, and having read many of Gould's books, from Ontogeny and Phylogeny to The Structure of Evolutionary Theory, you're going to need a hell of a lot more than that to persuade me that he was on your side.

I'm honestly dumbstruck by the persistent intellectual dishonesty of your side.
