I have been trying to educate you on this but you have your fingers securely in your ears and your eyes squeezed shut.
Hint: dumb is not smart.
Yet for some reason you fail to take your own advice. hmmm.
If Gould says that PE is not a hopeful monster theory,
PE is not a hopeful monster theory. It is something designed to account for the gaps in the fossil record and save neo-Darwinism.
You have to WANT to not look like a retard.
Again, follow your own advice. Take the fingers out of your ears and open your eyes.
It doesn't matter. Gradual in the sense of "Nothing is that different from it's parent" and "Populations evolve" is incompatible with "Geologically sudden" as in "Happens in 20,000 years."
And when someone says "Many large groups of facts are intelligible only on the principle that species have been evolved by very small steps" that person is a gradualist.
Science isn't a lawyer's game.
Note to lurkers:
It probably looks like I'm been mean to some poor noob graduate of an AiG/ICR/M-O-U-S-E seminar who is in shock at seeing the things they told him not holding up too well. Nah! T7 has been on these threads for about the time he's been a freeper. I've probably linked the PE stuff to him once every six months or so, just myself, never mind all the other people who have wasted electrons answering his simple Back-Again-Dumb-As-A-Stump-isms.PE is not a hopeful monster theory. It is something designed to account for the gaps in the fossil record and save neo-Darwinism.
PE is based on positive evidence, instances where we find the actual site of the gradual changes from which a species has spread to "suddenly appear" everywhere else. You have been presented with examples.
OK, Genius! Here's where you get to show you've been paying attention. What web page has the examples?
