(The context: I’m writing about punctuated equilibrium being at best a slight variant of Darwinism and that even Gould realized this.) Thanks. –Bill Dembski (from Uncommon Descent) Am I reading this right? Is this as ridiculous as it looks to me?

Is this the old "Stephen Jay minimizes adaptation" critique that creationists blew up into "Stephen Jay is presenting a radical new theory" bluff that now Dembski is "refuting"? Just askin'. Just want to understand that devious little mind o' Bill's. -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?
