Re: Agree or Disagree? Why?
This one is good too:
"Since we proposed punctuated equilibrium to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists - whether through design or stupidity, I do not know - as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level but are abundant between larger groups." from Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes. |

This one is total [censored]...
[ QUOTE ] No new matter is being formed – Genesis 2:2, "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." [/ QUOTE ] New matter is formed all the time...and even destroyed... |

The quote comes from "Evolution's Erratic Pace", Natural History vol. 86, 5, p. 14. [/ QUOTE ] Ahh. Thanks. It's ironic that the people who like quoting other sermons verbatim (while not giving credit), wouldn't be very good at quoting Gould verbatim. So, yeah, he's talking about punctuated equilibrium v. gradualism. Quoting Gould to discredit Evolution, is like quoting Sklansky to discredit the importance of math in poker strategy.
