Stephen J. Gould, the...theologist?

In his paper, "The Panda's Peculiar Thumb," Dr. Gould expressed the following idea:

"If God had designed a beautiful machine to reflect his wisdom and power, surely he would not have used a collection of parts generally fashioned for other purposes."

This was a treatise from science on the topic of evolution. Yet, there is this bit of conjecture about what God would do, if there is such a being.

This is not an argument from science. It sounds like an argument from incredulity.

If Stephen J. Gould can do it, why not me?
