Oh my,”canyons caused by river erosion over millions of years. Gosh, you did it again. You have not read the works of Icelandic geologist S. Thorarinsson that clearly documents canyon formation in real time in a matter of hours and/or days. You should have been there when it happened to see it with your own eyes and then you would believe. Or better yet his finding of fossils in “new volcanic rock”. We are still attempting to ascertain how those fossils survived the super heat of the volcano. So how would you date the fossils? By the age of the new rock? How would date the rock, by the age of the fossil?
Or perhaps you might wish to use carbon dating? These are existing problems with your dogmatic quote and perhaps you are enough of a scientist to explain why all of this occurred in such a brief time and was fully observed by the scientific community.

Please give your cite (or “site” if you prefer) for your contention that Punctuated Equilibrium was offered as a consequence of the fact that some DNA sequences are more likely to be mutated than others.

Or are you trying to deny that you made the claim again?

As to “S. Thrarinsson”, is one man a community? Is the theory that you are subscribing to is that fossils form naturally out of volcanic lava?
