This is a possible position to hold, and in fact seems to more or less
be the position of Behe, but popular ID and creation science adamantly
affirm radical discontinuity. It may be very hard to find a clear way
to distinguish between this and full continuity, since the data are
incomplete and sometimes misleading (homoplasy, etc.).
