"But they only happen in the gaps."
It is your claim that there is a gap, not mine. I'm merely showing you evidence that supports the Intelligent Design prediction of some occassional "big design introductions".
If there are gaps in the fossil record that would refute my evidence if only the right bones were found, then it is up to you to find them and prove me wrong by presenting evidence to support your point, but claiming that there is a gap without presenting any proof of said gap FAILS to support your contention and likewise fails to contradict mine.
In other words, it is up to you to prove that there is a gap. I see no such gap. I claim no such gap. I offer proof of no such gap in the fossil record.
What I do claim is that the platipus appears to be an example of a big design introduction that is predictable by using Intelligent Design Theory and not predictable when using Evolutionary Theory.
