From all accounts, Gould was a gentle and scholarly soul. Alas, he was also a left-winger, like so many in academia. He wasn't perfect, but he was very good in his field, an excellent writer, and he never harmed anyone. It's very sad to see so many people on this thread who take delight in imagining that he will be roasting eternally.

Most true Christians I know take no delight in anyone "roasting eternally". In fact, many missionaries have given up their lives because of their sorrow on seeing souls lost. Jesus spoke of Hell. He also spoke of beginnings and the global Flood that many evolutionists ridicule.

So, in the end, we must all make up our mind. As C.S. Lewis put it so well, Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or is God Almighty. It's really that simple of a choice. I pray we all chose well.

...I apologize if I have offended.

May God be with his family and friends and strengthen them in this time of morning.

That was classy, and a good witness.

Jonestown award for compassion

Insults and more insults. Where is the compassion he had in trying to lead others to eternal damnation? They say misery loves company, he surely wanted more misery - not that it will do him any good now.

If evolution were true and species had ever been scientifically observed to have mutated in a positive direction, by now you should know how to spell "our."

Don't be such a p-ick. I had a little slip up due to lack of coffee. :-)

The often overused "Judge not, lest ye be judged" scripture is referring to this just kind of eternal, condemnatory judgement.

Funny that such words from the Bible are most often used by atheists. There is nothing wrong in saying that an atheist should not be canonized. Gould was a very bad example to anyone going after him. Gould's final fate is not in our hands. However, his example can continue to lead others along the wrong path. It is the compassionate thing to point this out so that others may not share his fate.

I wouldn't press the abuse button over personal attacks. Still, you don't help your argument by attacking the person rather than his argument. You do know this, right?

So is Alzheimers Gods way of mocking Reagan? After all, he was derided by the left during his presidency as senile . Get real, all sorts of people get cancer, not just people you happen to dislike.

What Gould called 'punctuated equilibria' is often pointed out by Darwin, but with the 4 bit words.

Actually that is quite true, and many of Gould's evolutionist attackers forget that. Darwin was quite a charlatan and was not beneath asserting that evolution was both gradual and non-gradual. In fact he also asserted that selection was the cause of evolution in the Origins and then in the Descent he asserted that the cause of evolution was sex. He was pretty shameless in trying to cover all the bases and calling everything evolution.
