Changes

In 1980, David Woodruff wrote in the journal ''Science'' the following: "But fossil species remain unchanged throughout most of their history and the record fails to contain a single example of a significant transition.”<ref name="References and Notes: Fossil Gaps">Dr. [[Walt Brown]], Center For Scientific Creationism, [http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes23.html References and Notes: Fossil Gaps]</ref> The late [[Ernst Mayr]] was a prominent [[Harvard]] [[biology|biologist]] who also served as the director of Harvard's Museum of Comparative [[Zoology]]. Mayr was a staunch evolutionist and [[atheism|atheist]]<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2003/1208mayr.asp</ref> who maintained that evolution was a fact, yet in 1982 Mayr was compelled to make the following admission regarding the fossil record in relation to the theory of evolution: "Even the fossil record fails to substantiate any continuity and all novelties appear in the fossil record quite suddenly."<ref>[[Ernst Mayr]], [http://books.google.com/books?id=5f5kg_w2dJ4C&pg=PA441&lpg=PA441&dq=Even+the+fossil+record+fails+to+substantiate+any+continuity+and+all+novelties+appear+in+the+fossil+record+quite+suddenly&source=bl&ots=ZkMciG9ZtD&sig=_4KUqYwe5GKUtuASBXR5v3T9Cpk&hl=en&ei=YaYiSoeIEJmxtgeNyM2zBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3 1982a.

In 1985, Gould was more specific regarding his claim that there were intermediate forms and asserted that [[Archaeopteryx]] was a intermediate form.<ref>[[Stephen Jay Gould]], [http://www.stephenjaygould.org/library/gould_functionalshift.html "Not Necessarily a Wing," Natural History 94 (October 1985): 12-25; ]</ref> Also, according to Dr. Batten, in 1994 the following occurred in regard to Gould's stance on the fossil record:

{{cquote|"[Gould] abandoned his earlier position that there are no indisputable examples of transitional fossil series, either inter-specific or between major designs, and has embraced the ‘walking [[whale]]’ story as evidence for transformation of one species into another. The evidence for this transition is scant, but Gould uncritically accepts the fanciful description of how Ambulocetus natans walked and swam, as given by Thewissen et al."<ref name="puncteq" />}}
