And when was the last time you saw a "retraction" from the evolutionists?
Every single problem becomes fodder for a new variation on Naturalism. The
famous gaps in the fossil record, for example, become, presto changeo, punk
eek! And if someone has the temerity to point out that this merely draws
attention to the lack, Mr. S. J. Gould or his analog huffs and puffs and
expresses discontent that "his" work should give "aid and comfort" to the
"creationists."

Even the wonderful evolutionist writer G. R. Taylor, when valiantly exposing
the lacunae in Darwinism, trembled at the thought that creationists might jump
on this.

The fear of refutation, it seems, cuts across all lines.
