2: The holes in the fossil record present no difficulty for the theory of evolution, anymore than a lack of photos of Pluto's position yesterday show that Keplers laws of planetary motion are in jeopardy of being overthrown.

How curious. My evolutionary biology professor taught me in a seminar on evolution that I took as an undergrad taht there were such gaps. He's been on the opposing side of the Kansas Board, and yet even he admitted there were issues of discussion worth discussing. But, of course, he probably knows nothing compared to you.

Just a suggestion: work on your reading comprehension. I never said there were no gaps in the fossil record... I said that the gaps that are there provide no more of a threat to the theory of evolution than the lack of a complete photographic record of Pluto's position poses a threat to Kepler.

If he's stupid enough to believe that a few gaps equals a threat to the theory... then, yes, quite possibly.
