He autocontradicts.
If Gould evokes Darwin, and believes that the latter's claim should be heeded,
then he's actually saying science is a religion. But then he actually accuses
the Ultras as being theological fundamentalists.
And then later he says "there nothing theological in what I say".
Whereas you might think Gould is having an ironical atatck on the fundamentalism
of Ultra-Darwinists by showing the latter autocontradict by not heeding
Darwin's own words, Gould is himself autocontradictory (heed Darwin, I'm
not a fundamentalist as you are, Darwin speaks THE TRUTH).
