You obviously chose to ignore the rest of the chapter where Darwin said the fossil record was not a problem. Typical.

I’ve been accused of not reading the chapter, not understanding the chapter, and now, misrepresenting the chapter. All accusations are made with absolute certainty, no evidence, and are all wrong.

The quote was from the last (concluding) paragraph! I think it captures the entire chapter fairly well. And so does the title of the chapter: “On the Imperfection of the Geological Record.” Or, “since the facts don’t support the theory, malign the facts.” This has since been augmented by neo-Darwinists to include “malign the critics.”

No, Darwin didn't see the fossil record as a problem. Only a creationist revisionist would be able to read the entirety of the chapter and come to the conclusion that Darwin thought the fossil record didn't support evolution. " I’m not a creationist (yet), but I have read the book. It’s O.K., certainly nothing to fawned over."

Might be good to read it again. And, SURE you're not a creationist. :) I currently live in Clayton (half an hour from Raleigh).
