In evolution, there has been a hot debate going on for the last 35 years: is evolution happening at a steady pace and gradually or is it jumping around widely with short spurts of rapid evolution spaced by long stretches of relative stability?
The latter theory, called "Punctuated Equilibrium" has always been my favorite as it (among other things) captures the nonlinearity and the feedback in evolution. Now this theory has received further support by a study published in the journal Science. The authors of the paper calculated evolutionary change from genetic data out of the various genome projects. They found that much of the molecular changes happened in spurts, with periods of gradual change between them, exactly what the theory of punctuated equilibria predicted.
What this means is that not only has the "intelligent" designer put all those fossils in the ground so that we are fooled into believing there is evolution. No, man, that guy is even more cunning: he (or she) even manipulated the genomes of various species, so that they look as if they evolved acording to a popular evolutionary theory! This guy must be one totally sick dude, dude!
UPDATE: The Scientist has a story on the discovery as well as ScienceNow.
