Shall I freepmail it to you, or post it on this thread?

Please post to this thread your best paraphrase of my argument to you on your "Why no new families?" thing. Try not to just directly quote selected replies from your old saved threads.

[Ahban]

Your point was that new families never appear right away, that it always takes time. You used an analogy of a tree, saying all buds were small at first, that one never gets a middle sized branch at the start, only a tiny twig.

Your analogy was flawed and did nothing to address the points in my model, when your argument was refuted you just went to a faith-based defense : IE- we don't see it now because evolution occurs via Punctuated Equalibrium and the last 5K years have been a period of stasis.

Evolution always seems to be happening somewhere else. It must be taken on faith.
