Abstract
Harvard Professor of Geology Stephen Gould is well known for his technical work relating to evolution and for his popularwritings on natural history. His name should be familiar to those involved in science-theology dialogue, especially in connection with issues relating to creation and evolution. Gould has been very critical of "creation science" and related movements. While he has generally been civil in his statements about religion, in contrast to someone like Richard Dawkins, his agnostic-leaning-toward-atheist position has also been fairly clear. It would be easy to assume that he would really like to get rid of religion.
