Simply spelling out the facts of what he has done is not judging.

Ok, Stephen Jay Gould has harmed me in a tiny way!

In the evenings before we go to sleep, my wife and I often read our books. The simple weight of "The Structure of Evolutionary Theory", and it's hard bound 1433 pages, does cause physical pain when propped upon my chest.

However, may God bless Stephen for opening up my mind to the basic research he has provided.

His death today is a personal loss, since I have enjoyed what he attempted to teach. Are his theories totally correct? Probably not, but the raw data that he submitted will be researched for years to come.

My 'mind' has been opened to Gould's teachings in several forums and while he may be an amiable man to some and we debate his scholarly brilliance, the ledger will not be wiped clean of his continual staining of the Christian faith.

May God have mercy upon his family.
