I have NEVER heard of any evolutionary scientist making this claim. In fact they would *all*, even the most extreme Puncuated Equilibrist, say that all aspects of evolutionary processes are occuring today just as they have in the past. You may be confusing origins theory with evolutionary theory. They are *not* the same, in fact they are not even particularly closely related, since they belong in different specialties. -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) {trwrb|allegra|cbosgd|hplabs|ihnp4|aero!uscvax!akgua}!sdcrdcf!psivax!friesen or {ttdica|quad1|bellcore|scgvaxd}!psivax!friesen
