Dig sand, insert head?Do you know what the biological- not the dictionary- definition of evolution is? I'll help you: it's that genomes change in populations over time, or, if you want to get fancy about it, that allele frequencies in populations change over time.
There is absolutely no doubt that this occurs. None. Zip. Zero. So no, there are no holes in evolutionary theory.
There are many mechanisms by which this change occurs, and there is indeed healthy debate over how some of those mechanisms happen (and just flat-out ignorance by all over how some of those occur).
This argument over the mechanisms of newly discovered modes of genetic change is willfully (and just stupidly) misinterpreted by some who either don't understand what evolution is, or who don't want to understand. If you're really an "evolutionist" (a weird term), then stop yapping BS and start understanding what you claim to be a proponent of.
If people are tarring you with the "creationist" brush, then stop with the creationist sounding bullshit.
