Your quote is a complete misrepresentation of Gould's position. Medved's quote of Gould that the fossil record disproves Darwinian evolution is completely true. It also shows exactly Gould's thoughts on the matter. It was because he saw that gradualism was not proven by the fossil record that he developed the theory of punctuated equilibrium (which he himself calls punk-eek). That he still remains an avowed supporter of evolution is more a sign of his lack of character and pecuniary desires than to his honesty because punk-eek is essentially a theory which can never be proven, can never be disproven. It is an excuse in other words for doing what evolutionists have been doing on this thread for over 1000 posts - saying that evolution is true and not giving any proof of it.

Your quote is a complete misrepresentation of Gould's position.

It's a long quote which makes totally clear Gould's actual position. I defy you to falsify it by going back to the linked article and showing where he actually intended to say something else.

By comparision, when creationists quote Darwin questioning how an eye could form, they never mention that it's a rhetorical question which he immediately answers.

Regarding Gould's Answer to Creationist Quote-Miners, you said:

Your quote is a complete misrepresentation of Gould's position.

So I said:

I defy you to falsify it by going back to the linked article and showing where he actually intended to say something else.

Quite a turn-around you attempted there. How dare I refute your and medved's misleading misquotes with a lengthy, accurate, in-context, and on-target citation from your favorite victim?

So anyway, I defied you and you clammed up. I still say that Gould has repudiated your abuse of him. Please show where he really meant to say you were right.
