Stephen Jay Gould was a well-known evolutionary biologist who was probably best known for his books and his regular column in "Natural History". He is widely seen as one of the best communicators of evolutionary ideas to the public.
He would have been a wonderful person to hang out with. If you don't mind hanging out with agnostics! Unfortunately, as Gould passed away in 2002, hanging out with him is no longer possible nor healthy.
Gould is credited with the creation of of NOMA or Non-Overlapping Magisteria in his book Rocks of Ages. This suggested that science and religion occupy such radially different territories that they have no relevance to one another.
Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion took great exception to the idea of NOMA.
