Point the first. It's obvious, that if there were radical steps of development within a species or into a new sepcies, say reptile egg to hatchling bird, turtle egg to chicken, that those would come about during the process of forimg the zygote. Yet we don't have any chickens or repitles in observed natural history that break out of an egg into novel species-hood, tmk. And that includes observed periods and populations in extreme stress. Does that raise any alarm-bells to you?

Yes indeed, it raises alarm bells over the shoddy state of science education which produced someone so grossly uninformed as yourself, able to make such bizarrely cartoonish misrepresentations of biology as the kind you just made, so grossly misinformed that most gradeschool children would know better.

Even Darwin himself explained the fallacy of this in his 1859 book -- it never ceases to amaze me when creationists are over 130+ years behind on their education.

Well, I'm not speaking to Darwin, so much as I am to a recent publication that spoke of built-up micro-mutations that only show themself in a population during times of stress when suddenly -- punctuated equilibrium-wise, mege-step-wise -- a new species pops out of the egg.
