Be careful or else you will both become gappists. Gary is right ; the former
one gap becomes two of half the size.
However the smaller the gap the more chance of evolution actually happening.
If Gary wants to see what Brits say log on the discussion groups of Premier
Radio.
It is the decreasing size of these gaps which is fatal to ID as if there is
nothing between a trilobite and a monkey then there has to be intervention.
If the biggest gap is between two horses one with 3 toes and one with one
and 2 which havent appeared then evolution makes sense.
Time is important. If Morris and friends are right that the earth is 10,000
yrs old and everything appeared abruptly then there is no evolution, but if
it is spread out over 4.5 by with these decreasing gaps then evolution makes
best sense which is what Darwin argued in 1840. The refusal for IDers to
take Geol time into account is best disingeuous and worst a refusal to use
all evidence. It's only because they want to go to bed with creationists
that they do this. Definitley a date rape

P.S. I am still only getting the better posts!!!
