“The known fossil record fails to document a single example of phyletic evolution accomplishing a major morphologic [structural] transition and hence offers no evidence that the gradualistic model can be valid.” - Dr. Steven Stanley, department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, John Hopkins University.

Once again, reading the whole quote in context shows a very different meaning.

I do not see how the quote in context says anything different than what my quote purported to say. This evolutionist was saying in the article that you quoted that a gradual approach is not seen in the fossil record, but postulates that a punctuated approach is. Again, I never said that these guys weren't evos.

The very fact that something like punctuated equillibrium had to be postulated shows that Darwinism did not deliver on its claims. The fossil record needed some 'splainin' to do for it to re-fit the evolutionary model.
