“I can envision observations and experiments that would disprove any evolutionary theory I know,” writes Gould,

I don't think I have ever read anywhere but here that evolution is a fact, just as I have never seen a fossil that was clearly a bridge between species. It would certainly seem Gould is unwilling to make such a claim as well.

“but I cannot imagine what potential data could lead creationists to abandon their beliefs. Unbeatable systems are dogma, not science”

Can any one reading this imagine any argument or demonstration that would cause an "evolutionist" to doubt his sacred cow?

And no, I am not a Creationismist, or whatever.

Silly scientists are always proving last weeks theories bogus. For now, Genesis, even as an Allegory or Metaphor, probably still has far more truth to it than supposing intelligent designs like kidneys, feathers and gills just accidentally occured and gave their brethren a surprising advantage.

Archaeopteryx. Definitely has the characteristics of both therapod dinosaurs and birds.

Find me a 100 million year old wheel of cheddar and i'll jump ship.
