two new gaps to fill in!” Right. A less polite opponent might respond, “Keep digging!” The fact is, it’s your responsibility to show that these complex, new features can be gotten in one-generation-at-a-time increments. Never mind (for now) the boggling question of how the appearance of just one ever-so-slightly evolved creature results in the demise of the entire population of the robust species which bore it. Gould is annoyed that a writer accuses his punctuated equilibria theory of saying “a reptile laid an egg from which the first bird, feathers and all, was produced.” He bristles, “Any evolutionist who believed such nonsense would rightly be laughed off the intellectual stage.” But is this so much more fantastic than the first birth of an animal with ear-bones? To his credit, but to the detriment of his position, Gould admits (p261), “It is true that scientists have often been dogmatic and elitist… We derive benefits from appearing as a new priesthood.” Good boy. My advice: work
