>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I don't know who KW is, but if he can refute my argument, then let it "rip." Apparently you invoked his acronym because you cannot refute my argument. I assume that you know how the dinosaurs (along with the enantiornithine birds) became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. It did not take repeated strikes by a large number of meteors, just a single impact. That single event shifted evolutionary history irreversibly and drastically. It is simply old fashioned, outdated thinking to believe that evolutionary changes must be gradual. In many cases, gradualism works, but gradualism is not necessary nor is it the most likely explanation for all evolutionary changes. A single collector can indeed shift evolution in a single location, as surely as a single meteor impact can change the course of evolutionary history.



Are you trying to show how much you know? That is La La land stuff. KW was a sparring partner of yours from times past. He would have dismissed you far more elequently and with half as many words.
