Hasn't anyone on FR ever heard of Punctuated Equilibrium? Guess not...

Oooo, ooo, I can, I can!

It's a fabrication used by Evos to explain the HUGE gaps in the fossil record. Since there is NO physical evidence to prove their premise that one species mutated into an entirely new species (transmutation) and that not enough time has elapsed for it to have happened anyway, then stuff just must have made sudden jumps and leaps from the one to the next.

And they say we make a leap of faith!!!

Apparently you can't.

Sorry, that's not PE. Not even close. Put down the Jack Chick comic book and pick up a real biology textbook before you post again. What you described is a creationist fantasy.

Ok, and Creationisms theory on the gaps is more valid than Punc. Equil.? Darwinian Gradualism is an ongoing process even within Punc. Equil. too. There certainly was enough time for these things to happen; but I guess when you believe the world is 6000 years old... The Catholics call it the mystery of faith, and I absolutely believe in God, which is faith. It can never be proven to me or anyone until we die; (unless the end times come in our lifetimes) but science can be all but proven, even if some people refuse to see the truth. My faith is so strong, that I have absolutely no problem reconciling my belief in God with the process by which He created everything, which would be some form of evolution. The process is not completely understood now, and may never be, but much of it is. At least we can all agree that liberals suck... :)
