Nonsense. It is the very heart of quantum theory. You know, the funny rules that define the workings of the semiconductors that make up the computer you are using.

Nonsense yourself. Something we don't understand is at the heart of quantum mechanics. Read Penrose. I have.

In exactly the same way chance is the heart of punctuated equilibrium evolution.

Hardly. Punk Eek acknowledges the huge problem for Evolution of the Cambrian Explosion but it explains nothing.

I have too. He is a genius but no one but you thinks he is correct.

The Cambrian Explosion is one of many, each following a mass extinction. Punctured equilibrium is the discription of the results. The cause is simple genetics.

Let me ask you, how much oil production do you have? How many people do you know of who do not believe in evolution who have managed to make significant discoveries? Why don't you and your Fundie budies get together and put up some Jack and drill some holes. You are obviously smarter than the fools at the oil companies who think a knowledge of evolution will help them find oil & gas.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! More for the lurkers than for your closed mind, Phaedrus:

Speciation by Punctuated Equilibrium,
Tempo and Mode of Speciation (slideshow), and
All You Need to Know about Punctuated Equilibrium (Almost).
