It's that and a lot of other things. For instance there is a limit to hereditary traits.
Could you just go ahead and define what you think it is?
Also, I find it very strange that, I think, the top ten list you posted actually mentions punctuated equilibrium and gives some indication of what it is. It's almost like you didn't read the thing before you posted it. But nah.
And while I have your attention, here are some other questions.
Do you still think there was only one ice age, and that it happened in the last 6,000 years? If so, for how long did it occur? I believe you also said that the reason God gave animals the ability to adapt was so that they could survive such things, but you do realize that, even if an ice age hit, it would be quite long before animals started adapting to it. So with that in mind, when was this ice age, how long did it last, and why, praytell, is there absolutely no mention of it any literature from the past 6,000 years - not to mention the complete lack of an interruption in the agricultural age, which would have to happen if the entire planet was covered in ice.
Also, do you still think that evolution would make language development impossible, and that, if we traveled to another planet, we would expect aliens to be speaking human languages if evolution was true? If so, why do you think this?
I know this seems a little roundabout, but I'm illustrating a point. Bear with me.
