You can win with some people. If you state facts in a forthright manner, and express confidence in your conclusions, the creationists complain that you're being dogmatic. But if you state facts in the traditional manner, as being tentative and subject to further verification, with conclusions expressed in the subjunctive mode, the creationists complain that we're just putting out a bunch of "maybes." So I guess they're going to complain in any event. Might as well ignore them.

Do you believe in "punctuated equilibrium"?

Do you see any proofs for "punctuated equilibrium" in the article you posted?

*ahem* There isn't a fact to be found in this piece.
