These claims, totally contradicting all the rules of genetics, bio-
physics, and biochemistry are as scientific as fairy-tales of frogs turning
into princes! Nevertheless, being distressed by the crisis that the neo-
Darwinist assertion was in, some evolutionist paleontologists embraced
this theory, which has the distinction of being even more bizarre than
neo-Darwinism itself.
The only purpose of this model was to provide an explanation for
the gaps in the fossil record that the neo-Darwinist model could not ex-
plain. However, it is hardly rational to attempt to explain the gap in the
fossil record of the evolution of birds with a claim that "a bird popped
all of a sudden out of a reptile egg", because, by the evolutionists' own
admission, the evolution of a species to another species requires a great
and advantageous change in genetic information. However, no mutation
whatsoever improves the genetic information or adds new information
to it. Mutations only derange genetic information. Thus, the "gross mu-
tations" imagined by the punctuated equilibrium model, would only
cause "gross", that is "great", reductions and impairments in the genetic
information.
The theory of punctuated equilibrium was obviously merely a prod-
uct of the imagination. Despite this evident truth, the advocates of evo-
lution did not hesitate to honour this theory. The fact that the model of
evolution proposed by Darwin could not be proved by the fossil record
forced them to do so. Darwin claimed that species underwent a gradual
change, which necessitated the existence of half-bird/half-reptile or half-
fish/half-reptile freaks. However, not even one of these "transitional
forms" was found despite the extensive studies of evolutionists and the
hundreds of thousands of fossils that were unearthed.
Evolutionists seized upon the model of punctuated equilibrium with
the hope of concealing this great fossil fiasco. As we have stated before,
it was very evident that this theory is a fantasy, so it very soon consumed
itself. The model of punctuated equilibrium was never put forward as a
consistent model, but rather used as an escape in cases that plainly did
not fit the model of gradual evolution. Since evolutionists today realise
that complex organs such as eyes, wings, lungs, brain and others ex-
plicitly refute the model of gradual evolution, in these particular points
they are compelled to take shelter in the fantastic interpretations of the
model of punctuated equilibrium.
