The problem is your comments above are incoherent gibberish. Add the
above to your previous nonsense, that "stasis is the exact opposite of
gradual change", and all you manage to prove is you have no idea what
you're talking about.

It's no surprise you don't understand your own cites.  Do everybody a
favor and try to explain how your cite above is evidence against
Darwinian evolution and for ID.

And the difference between "intelligent design proponent" and "cdesign
proponentsist" is... ???  You don't say.  Why is that?

Once again, you jump from an incoherent ramble about Gould and PE to
an incoherent ramble about Dawkins and atheism, without even trying to
explain how anything you wrote disproves evolution or supports ID. Why
is that?
