They would not be abandoning "natural selection", just looking at the method by which it operates. That is more or less continuously, or in "punctuated equilibrium" manner.

This issue is hardly new. In fact I'd thought that the "fits and starts" model was more in favor. I know it is with me.

If by 'evolutionary biology' we simply mean biologists who study the nature of changes in the biological world, I have no problem with this remaining unchanged. Indeed, there are creationists biologists who might as well be called evolutionary biologists already. I know one creationist biologist whose job title is 'plant transformation specialist.'
