I came across this today:

"Sulfur-cycling fossil bacteria from the 1.8-Ga Duck Creek Formation provide promising evidence of evolution's null hypothesis"
Significance :Abstract:Edited by Thomas N. Taylor, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, and approved January 5, 2015 (received for review October 6, 2014)
A friend of mine made the following appropriate comment:
"Ahem. The That would mean that no evolution for 1.8 billion years is not only consistent with Darwinism but actually demanded of it. In other words, the proof of evolutionary theory is the fact that no evolution might occur for 1.8 billion years. Or, to put it into clearer words, the refutation of a theory is its proof.
With thinking like this we have abandoned not only science but also logic."
IOW, if organisms Evolve over 2 billion years, then that is evidence of Evolution. If organisms remain the same over 2 billion years, then that ALSO "provides promising evidence" of Evolution. The part about the environment remaining unchanged is nothing more than unadulterated BS of the lowest order.
Yup, boys and girls, that is how "science" works. Ya got it?
Now go home and study ... there will be a quiz tomorrow.
