Nothing new. That's what punctuated equilibrium was, after all. Not that it is wrong to come up with new theories (obviously). I appreciate that the entire idea is to find a framework that aligns with the facts.

What made me laugh regarding the exchange was the idea that inserting the words "God could have" are any different than "evolution could have". It is amusing to me that inserting the word "God" automatically means the methods being used MUST be unscientific.

I recognise I have a bias and I work to mitigate it. But I have given up trying to persuade those who are not even genuine enough to admite their bias exists.
