In which I delegate this mission to my minions
As I subscribe to Gould's view of non-overlapping magisteria, further debate is pointless.
At the same time, however, I would hope to find a way to encourage you to modify your views, which I regard as muddled, empirical, and deterministic (the latter two not technically capable of coexistence). Since argumentation is unlikely to achieve this, I have settled on the development of an army of battle droids that will fire randomly while quoting liberally from the work of William James:
I trust this will resolve matters satisfactorily.

"Non-overlapping magisteria" sounds like a great idea. Why don't you pitch it to Bill O'Reilly.
This is really a great concept, because, as Bill O'Reilly points out, science has absolutely no explanations for how tides work or how the moon got there.
Bill O'Reilly is an example of something that doesn't overlap.
I've been meaning to ask: is Stephen Jay Gould an expert in God, now?
Depends on whether you believe in the afterlife...
In any case, before he died I'd say he had pretty fair track record of calling bullshit on arrogant pseudoscience, from IQ tests to sociobiology.
You want to dis Stephen Jay Gould, we're going to have to start a new thread.
