RIP: Stephen Jay Gould
gdyas writes: " Reuters reports that famed paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has died today at age 60 of cancer. Famous for his many essays on natural history, modifications to Darwin's theories, and as the winner of the American Book Award for "The Mismeasure of Man", a history of intelligence testing, Gould was and remains a profound influence on biology." CNN also has a piece on him.
He starred in the episode where a fossilized angel skeleton is found.

I think the legendary gangsta rapper MC Hawking said it best in F*ck The Creationists
:Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
They want to have their bullshit, taught in public class,
Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their ass.

for a guy that studied snails he was the best there was at explaining the unintelligble to the masses. I own several of his books and read them like most folks read Grisham.
Wherever he is now I'm certain he's explaining something to someone.
God: so how did I do that thing with the platypus again?
Stephen: its easy. lets use baseball as an example...

Yep... he's probably up there with Xenu right now, joking about what sorts of punishment they're going to inflict on Jerry Falwell when he shows up :) Or something like that... considering his talents at rhetoric, I imagine even that other God will be admitting he didn't create the world in seven days after a little chat with Steve.
If only this had come sooner...

This was a Dutch TV series of documentaries on 5 scientists back in the early 90's. One of them was Stephan Gould. In the final show, the five scientists had a roundtable discussion and the subject got around to AI, which was one of the scientists strengths, and who was claiming that AI could replace humans and we wouldn't know it or be able to differentiate between it and life. Stephan Gould asked him if he had ever had a dog.

Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.
