You're describing punctuated equilibrium (Eldredge and Gould) which caused no end of fuss when it was first presented.  Many of the stricter Darwinians had a lot of trouble accepting that the gradualism proposed by Darwin might not be the case (some still haven't).

Current thinking is that gradualism and PE are both true, depending on the circumstances in which groups of organisms find themselves.

Really? How many times has the earth been destroyed by catastrophes including the last Snowball Earth, which is not pseudo-science and which was not too long ago. Many atheistic scientists agree that NOTHING could survive the "snowball". But, somehow, we did because we are here: aren't we? Gradualism my ass!

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'll answer that. Egg laying raptors existed long before mammals. You see, according to Genesis, the earth was in a snowball state and the breath of God breathed on it(global warming) then God turned the lights back on and warmed the earth. Then He made man and a garden with flowers, animals, bird and fish, after there own kind(no evolution) the likes of which had never been seen before.


So the earth has been around for hundreds of billions of years before that event. So, a long, long time ago, a demon fucked a gecko and out popped a brontosaurus! You see, according to Genesis, demons have polypollinating sperm. They will fuck anything and turn that thing into a super. That is the unnatural selection that scientists call "evolution" by "punctuated equilibrium". Whenever the dinosaurs became too big and destructive, God wiped them out over and over again.

Then the earth had mammals and the demons did some monkey lovin'.

So a demon fucks a pig and makes a super pig. He fertilizes a large fish and makes a super fish. He crosses the super pig with the super fish and wham! Dolphin! That's how the dumbest thing on earth, a herding animal, became the smartest and could survive the flood of Noah's day. And that's right: all sea mammals taste like pork! Whether whale, manatee, dolphin or seal, they all taste like pork! Eggs then bacon then bacon and eggs--Thank God!

I had a vision/*sarcasm

The rest is history!

Well, the Earth has never been 'destroyed by catastrophes'.  I leave it to you to determine the evidence for that statement.

'Snowball Earth' is a hypothesis with a lot of serious problems.  But not even proponents of this notion propose that nothing could survive the Snowball - eggs, spores, cyanobacteria (in places where the ice was thinnest) and marine extremophiles would have come through all right.

Whether evolution occurs gradually or rapidly is largely dependent on conditions.

The earth has succumbed to catastrophe several times as well as all creatures on it. According to many scientist's, there have been 5 mass extinctions since the beginning. Google it yourself. This makes "gradual evolution" ridiculous. It has to keep restarting over and over again!

The problem with "Snowball Earth", and it's complete extinction, is that we are here. You figure it out. The bible tells me how we got here and it's not "Creation". God just made stuff. Evolutionists just keep getting more creative Smile

Question: God said, "Let us(plural referring to importance--pay attention) make man in our image.' "And God made man in His(singular) image." It what image did the Draconians make their creatures?

'Succumbed to catastrophe' isn't the same as 'destroyed by catastrophes', and a 'mass extinction' isn't remotely the same as all life being destroyed.  There's always enough left over to be getting on with things.

I suppose I wasn't clear when I said there were problems with the Snowball Earth hypothesis.  The 'problem' is that it is far from a settled question as to whether there ever was a snowball Earth.  A majority of geologists - even those who support the hypothesis - agree that it doesn't explain enough, and there isn't enough evidence. Even in periods of extreme glaciation, it's likely that the tropics remained warm (well, warm-ish).

Indeed. All that's needed is a few cells floating around in a warm pool and off you go again. It's easy to forget that the journey from non life to the first self replicating cell, is a far greater journey than from the fist cell to complex life.
By many orders of magnitude.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Yup. Around 74,000 years ago, humans almost went extinct, being reduced to a few thousand survivors (estimates vary).
