>>The knownfossil record fails to document a SINGLE example of phyltic evolution accomplishing a major morphologic transition and hence offers no evidence that the gradulistic model can be valid. ( Steven M. Stanley,1979<<
You do know that Dr. Stanley is an evolutionist, don't you, albeit a controversial one? He's a proponent of punctuated equilibrium evolution instead of the more accepted gradualistic evolution. i.e. he thinks evolution has happens in tiny bursts instead of continuous gradual change.
Punctuated equilibrium is just as adhock as the other! Nothing more than more embarrasment for evolutionist, so they resort to more story telling to try and cover their backs!
