Part 1 - God's Puzzle Solved

Is God Real?25paper in 1977 in which he proposed the theory of PunctuatedEquilibrium. Rather than a slow, continuous progressionof species, Punctuated Equilibrium is characterizedby long periods of virtual standstill (equilibrium) punctuatedby episodes of very fast development with new lifeforms. The lack of proof of Darwinian evolution in thefossil record, going all the way back to the earliest geologicaltime periods, fostered this idea of Punctuated Equilibrium.This theory has been developed as a cover for thefailure of the theory of evolution.Punctuated EquilibriumPunctuated Equilibrium is the theory (which in itself lacksscientific proof) that new species pop-up at some point anddid not evolve over long periods of time. The cause ofthese new species is some sort of random environmentalchange or mutation. The entire perspective revealed bythe fossil evidence is claimed to demonstrate evolutionarychange.According to Gould, the appearance of pop-up species inthe fossil record must happen very fast in small isolatedareas. Denton, another scientist, has cited studies (basedupon modern species) that suggest up to 85% of all animalsare preserved in the fossil records.He further states that there is absolutely no reason whatsoeverto assume the fossil record is anything other than ahighly accurate and detailed account of the developmentof life on earth. However, the sudden arrival of almost allmodern phyla of invertebrate life is a direct contradictionto the prediction made by Darwin’s theory of gradual
