Evolutionist writers are such liars they can never tell the truth. He was a paleontologist, not a biologist, but I guess that one more lie for the cause is only fitting as an obituary to him. The Yahoo article at the top got it right though:"BOSTON (AP) - Stephen Jay Gould, the paleontologist and author who eloquently demystified science for the public and challenged his colleagues with revolutionary ideas about evolution, died Monday of cancer."
A title is nearly meaningless.
