再做一下苦力，将 #588， #601，#621， #622， #624, #626展示的进化论科学家的观点整理一下，看看他们与传统---即我们在教科书上学习到的，前面贴过的美国科学院近年来仍然持有的观点的争执在哪？#614也列出了传统宏进化论支持者对Gould这些人的攻击
下面中文是俺的理解，英文直接摘自楼上的原文
- 传统：化石记录中包括很多过渡类型生物
- 争议: All species are separated from each other by bridgeless gaps; intermediates between species are not observed
- 传统：化石记录不完整是因为难以形成化石、还有更多中间化石有待发现
- 争议：all the evidence shows that the record is real: the gaps we see reflect real events in life’s history
- 传统：化石记录是生物渐进式进化的证据
- 争议： The known fossil record is not, and never has been, in accord with gradualism； In fact, the fossil record does not convincingly document a single transition from one species to another.
- 传统：不断发现新的过渡型生物的化石
- 争议： we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than we had in Darwin’s time， some of the classic cases of Darwinian change in the fossil record, such as the evolution of the horse in North America, have had to be discarded or modified as a result of more detailed information; Ostrea-Gryphaea and Zaphrentis delanouei, have long since lost their scientific respectability
- 传统：物种进化是优胜劣汰的产物
- 争议：In large parts of the natural system it is impossible to demonstrate that one particular taxonomic sequence is superior to other alternatives； In other words, biological improvement is hard to find; Increasing complexity through time is elusive at best.
- 传统：历史上，一直到今天，生物一直在做缓慢的进化
- 争议：On the contrary, it showed that species generally remained constant throughout their history and were replaced quite suddenly by significantly different forms; The great majority of species do not show any appreciable evolutionary change at all
下面是这些进化论内部科学家在质疑学术环境纯洁性的部分引文：
“The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as th
e trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that
adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nods of their branches"
"... and some pure fantasy has crept into textbooks"
" We paleontologist have said that the history of life supports that interpretation [gradual adaptive change],
all the while knowing that it does not."
"Just as we have long known about stasis and abrupt appearance, but hav
e chose to fob it off upon an imperfect fossil record ... "
"they’ve known for over a hundred years that such is not the case. …It’s the only reason why they can correlate rocks with their fossils, for instance. …They’ve ignored the question completely."
"Paleontologists are traditionally famous (or infamous) for reconstructing whole animals from the debris of death.
Mostly they cheat. …"
