That's a very cool cover although its a bit odd the way he's holding that horn.

>>Jay Gould said the "dirty little secret of paleontology is Darwin got it wrong". But getting the ToE establishment to agree is like pulling teeth. Won't happen. Because Darwin is a god to them.<< I don't know if Professor Gould used those exact words but he did work on something called punctuated equilibrium that differed from Darwin's view. Gould felt that evolution moved in relatively faster bursts at times.

But there are lots things that Darwin didn't know or got wrong - this is yet another reason to use a term like developmental or evolutionary biology - "Darwinism" hasn't been a science since the 1930's.

That's true as far as the "science" goes. But amongst the "Great Unwashed" Darwinism is synonymous with the ToE.

And scientists, like Richard Dawkins, who speak to them do not disabuse them of this false notion.

We need leading scientists to do as Gould did and tell the world that "Darwin got it wrong" and say how he got it wrong with a clear, unqualified and unnuanced statement.

Unfortunately all we get are chirping crickets or yes..buts.

It's the old vernacular vs. specialist-in-the-field-language problem. Try reading Dorothy Sayers' Creative Mind (which I have in the paperback The Whimsical Christian, Collier Books, ISBN 0-02-096430-7).
