2. The saltational initiation of major transitions: The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution.

You are proving my point with this. Gould clearly said the absence of transitional forms is a problem. Just because he goes on with an explanation for these missing forms does not make the first point incorrect: GOULD HIMSELF STATES THAT THE LACK OF TRANSITIONAL FORMS IS A PROBLEM for evolutionists!!

This quote is completely in context, it is the evolutionists that are in a tizzy here, they are upset that the Creationists don't believe the self given answer by Gould as final, instead, they AGREE with Gould, as YOU POSTED WHAT HE SAID, Creationists AGREE with Gould: Transitional forms are missing, and it proves a problem for evolutinists; Just because Gould posts another theory to defend the lack of fossils does not remove his own admission there is a lack of transitional forms!!

THE QUOTE IS ACCURATE!!

Wow, we said basically the same thing and I didn't even read your post! :-)

THE QUOTE IS ACCURATE!!

No, the quote is precise. It's inaccurate because it's misleading about what he meant in context. The best kind of lie.
