Topic: Evolution
Quote: Our standard expectation of evolution -- slow, steady, gradual improvement, hence change, through time -- is indeed a myth. Niles Eldredge
Response: I googled your signature, and I found this just before your quote mine: "Some of the most mythic of scientific notions lie in the realm of evolutionary biology. Evolution \xe2\x80\x94 the proposition that all organisms are related \xe2\x80\x94 is as highly verified a thesis as can be found in science. Subjected to close scrutiny from all angles for over a century now, evolution emerges as the only naturalistic explanation we have of the twin patterns of similarity and diversity that pervade all life. The basic notion that life has evolved is as certain as the existence of gravity or the idea that the earth is spheroidal. We call such highly verified notions \xe2\x80\x9cfacts\xe2\x80\x9d when they consistently escape all attempts to prove them false. Evolution is no myth."\nFinally, please present evidence.
