Has a lot to recommend it, as an adjunct to evolution.

Maybe I am missing something here, but is this guy suggesting that environmental factors cause not just one gene to alter in the DNA of one cell but the same gene to alter in every cell in an organism at the same time and in the same way to the extent that even new reproductive cells that pass on genetic information to the offspring duplicate the mutation? Moreover, is he suggesting that these genetic mutations, which have taken place in every cell of the organism and even in future reproductive cells, are duplicated in other similar organism to the extent that when two of these organism that have indipentently undergone the same genetic mutation mate, the genetic mutations are passed on into the genetic pool as viable genetic variants? Natural selection I understand. This, on the other hand, is LAUGHABLE!!!!

You know that environmental factor? His name is GOD.

Gradual or rapid, depending upon the nature and severity of the enivronmental pressure, it's still solidly evolution.
