RE: [asa] Millions of years population growth

Hi Jon, you wrote:

And, "Since the evidence does not support their theories, evolutionists
are constantly coming up with new ways to try to support what they
believe. One of their ideas is called punctuated equilibrium....There
is no evidence for this, nor any known mechanism to cause these rapid
changes. Rather it is merely wishful thinking. We need to teach our
children the difference between science and wishful thinking."

I took a course in human evolution at George Washington University and
we had a guest speaker named Williamson who published solid evidence for
punctuated equilibrium in Nature in the early 1980's. Those of you who
have access to past issues of Nature might want to look up his article.
I'm going from memory now so please correct me anybody who can find his
article (Campbell that's you). He did a study on mollusks in Lake
Turkana and found a few million years of stasis before and after about
5,000 to 50,000 years worth of very rapid morphological change across
phyla. I approached him after his talk and asked him if he could offer
a causal factor and he said, "Sure, draught." I'm not sure he offered a
rationale in his article, but that's what he told me.
