But listen to what paleontologist, Stephen J. Gould, recently wrote: "Species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they finally disappear." And he’s an agnostic scientist.

This is off topic... but... I had to mention this. While trying to find the context of Gould's quote, I came across the following sermons from 3 different people:

http://www.cityviewlubbock.org/sermon031404.html
http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermon....ributorID=5911

(Look at the Gould quote, and surrounding content in those sermons.)

I guess pastors (and religious bloggers) don't need to give credit to the person who actually came up with the content of their sermons. I'm still looking for the context of the Gould quote if anyone has any info on that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
