Evolutionist Stephen J. Gould clearly stated that there are no transitional fossils. Still, he was not a creationist. He believed evolution happened only at certain moments, and so fast, that it left no traces in the fossil record (punctuated equilibrium).
Creationists have quoted mined Gould since the flood. So I'm calling you on this. Please produce the evidence to support your claim and I'll then show you how creationists have deliberately distorted it.
Gould was a prominent evolutionary biologist who campaigned AGAINST creationism.

Anyway, I don't want to argue now about what is the right way to interpret Gould's words.
Well I do. I say that you have made an incorrect and deceitful claim, either defend it or withdrwa it.
Can you produce ...... etc
We can discuss the evidence for transitional fossils as soon as you've defended or withdrawn your first claim.
Put up or shut up.
