ANNOTATION:
Steven Jay Gould misunderstood

I'd like to point out to Nakamura that he should not rely on Gould as much as he might already does. Gould is an evolutionist, true but he has proposed his Puntuated Equilibrium theory with alot of problems. But what he says basically is that during his graduate studies he found that certain species had remained constant for millions or so years and then maybe in a period of 100,000 evolved. This might sound like a contradiction to evolution which says that evolution has been slow and gradual over billions of years. But this is nothing new to evolutionist because they have admitted, demonstrated, and know that the rates of evolution vary. I have found that many creationists try to use Gould's P.E. theory to disprove evolution and to say that it actually supports what creationist have been saying, which is the fossil record does not support evolution. (I'm not saying that Nakamura is a creationist) However 100,000 years is short in evolution years but evolutionist agree is plenty of time for species to evolve. I just want to make sure that Gould not be taken/accepted without knowing that some of his work still needs alot of testing.
