"Evolution states that living things change slowly over a long period..."Not true. Punctuated Equilibrium is a rapid change within an otherwise slow process.

Not true. Punctuated Equilibrium is a rapid change within an otherwise slow process.
Punctuated equilibrium is a neo-evolutionist doctrine devised to explain why traditional evolution failed to described what was being observed in the fossil "record." It's the old invoking of the secondary hypothesis to rescue the primary hypothesis. It is the dark matter of biological evolution.

You take one tiny portion and try to make everything I said seem false. The essence of evolution is still random and accidental mutations somehow made living beings better.
