In fact, that IS what 'punctuated equilibrium' says occurs. Many significant changes occuring in very short periods of time (and therefore the reason no transitional forms are found).

When you say,

"In fact, that IS what 'punctuated equilibrium' says occurs. Many significant changes occuring in very short periods of time (and therefore the reason no transitional forms are found)."


To clarify your previous statement,

"I've had evolutionists paint me a picture telling me to imagine the first 'bird' hatching from a dinosaur egg. This is how these people think it could have occurred."

That's a lie. NOT ONE biologist says that a dinosaur gave birth to a bird, or that they could. That is most certainly NOT what PE says. PE still has speciation occurring in tens of thousands of years, it is not an instantaneous event. You have built a strawman that has no relationship to what ANY biologist has said.

What does punctuated equilibrium consider to be a 'very short period of time'? And why is it then that the wealth of transitional fossils from the Montana site seem to be created during a period of punctuated equilibrium during the late Cretaceous if punctuated equilibrium is being used as a reason as to why they don't exist?

Punctuated equilibrium happens over hundreds of thousands of years. Quick compared to geological time, but not as fast as a single generation.
