PoliticalChic has started ANOTHER STRING (at lest QUADRUPLE in fact) on the SAME TOPIC using the SAME REFUTED Material
You KNOW full well that Gould HIMSELF believes in Darwinian evolution and obviously Punctuated Equilibrium does NOT contradict it.....
So....what is your opinion of Darwin's thesis of random mutations which accumulate and lead, gradually to speciation?
That is the question....not whether or not the theory of evolution is closer to the truth than a religious one.
And....if Darwin was incorrect, what to make of Gould's thesis which claims a sudden, fully formed new species.
Those are the questions that my OPs expressed.
Bringing religion in is the side-step of the Darwinists.
"sudden" in geologic terms could be Tens/Hundreds of Thousands, or even Millions of Yeas. It is NOT a creation event.
GOULD Himself
Despite this YOU use/ABUSE Gould as supporting you."..Yet amidst all this turmoil No biologist has been lead to doubt the Fact that evolution occurred; we are debating How it happened.
We are all trying to explain the same thing: the tree of Evolutionary descent linking all organisms by ties of genealogy.
Creationists Pervert and Caricature this debate by conveniently neglecting the common conviction that underlies it, and by Falsely suggesting that evolutionists now doubt the very phenomenon we are struggling to understand.
[......]
The entire Creationist program includes Little more than a rhetorical attempt to Falsify evolution by presenting Supposed Contradictions among its supporters.
You know this, I have posted it often, yet You still LIE and Mislead.
Your posts are [always] Intentionally DISHONEST in this respect.
You try to jump on Uncontexted, Seemingly contradictory, snippets that are NOT so.
YOU LIE Hourly.
YOU MISLEAD in the name of Christ/Religion.
If there is a god he would be Appalled at your persistently Dishonest posts.

"You KNOW full well that Gould HIMSELF believes in Darwinian evolution and obviously Punctuated Equilibrium does NOT contradict it."
I think you need another beating.
Here goes:
Darwin: gradual changes due to an accumulation of random mutations.
Gould: sudden rapid species formation with no precursors.
Now I have to teach 'em English as well as science.

"Punctuated Equilibrium does NOT contradict it."
Yeah, it does, you dope.
Gould was a Marxist....and just as Marx loved Darwin's theory, he felt obligated to defend it.
So he made up 'Punctuated Equilibrium'...which means long periods with no evolution....then sudden species formation.
Wanna know how he came up with the idea?
From Karl Marx's theory of history.....long periods of suffering by workers, then...bingo! A revolution.
Evolution as revolution!
'Punctuated Equilibrium' as human history!
How ya' feel now, boyyyyeeeeee????
