Tell me about it.
I've spent many a night down at the Atheists Social Club & Laundromat, hunched over a plate of Fried Kitten Sandwiches and a bottle of Crème De Menthe, plotting the next Big Lie, while my underwear goes through the Wash Cycle.

But don't you understand? That's the Crockaduck creationists have long been seeking! Now we know that evolution is false and we must all become right-wing Evangelical Protestants at once.
I prefer Crème De Corpuscle myself.
Sorry. I meant that many of the sources I found with theThanks.
My source was good but yours is better for those not familiar with Australian media.

This explanation from the University of Vermont may help you to gain a better understanding of punctuated equilibrium.
Punctuated Equilibrium,
Evolution 101
In simple terms environmental factors will sometimes encourage relatively rapid (in evolutionary terms)speciation.
Actually, paleontologists know of many detailed examples of fossils intermediate in form between various taxonomic groups. One of the most famous fossils of all time is Archaeopteryx,
This is another lie. Biological evolution is a continual process. It never stops.
Except that is not what the theory of evolution predicts. There are no tranistional forms between groups, but a common ancestor shared by the two groups. By analogy, you are claiming that there should be a "transitional form" between you and your cousin, when what the theory of evolution predicts is the existence of your grandfather.Creationists are not seeking a scattering of examples. What they are seeking is scores of examples that should exist if evolution was actually a blind, random force of nature. In that scenario most fossils should be transitional forms in between groups. The vast majority of fossils should be transitional mistakes and mashups.
In a very real sense, all living species are "transitional forms."
What? It is a 'spectrum of species.' At this stage of development, just about every ecologial niche is filled.So then no evolutionist should have a problem producing millions of examples. I agree that if evolution proceed randomly by unintelligent mutations then all of biology would be on a spectrum of species. But biologists don't seem to find that, which calls into question their claim of random mutations.
Your taste and your income far outstrip mine if you can afford Crème De Corpuscle.
I once had a bottle of Corpuscle as an adjunct to a Poodle Flambé - Magnifique!

Duck-like dinosaur with crocodile teeth and clawed flippers so 'peculiar' researchers thought it was fake

With a bill like a duck but teeth like a crocodile, a swanlike neck and killer claws, a new dinosaur species uncovered by scientists looks like something Dr Seuss could have dreamed up.
It also had flippers like a penguin, and while it walked like an ostrich it could also swim.
more.....
Is it possible that scientists have actually found the infamous Crocoduck proposed by Creationist Ray Comfort as the required, ultimate proof of the Theory of Evolution?
Probably not - but this weird little collection of biological bits and pieces does demonstrate that species can diverge into new and exotic creatures.
Evolution actually happens.
OB
And most fossil species; while populations continue to evolve, they're in continuous transition.In a very real sense, all living species are "transitional forms."
Which should result mainly in transitional forms.
All swan species native to North America are entirely white, and most swans in general are white. Australia and New Zealand are the only areas black swans are native to.Where do these white swans come from? In my experience swans are all black.

The problem is not with producing millions of examples. The problem lies with creationists not accepting them as such.So then no evolutionist should have a problem producing millions of examples.
