Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence —it’s a lack of evidence. I would say the same thing then that I have said before: We don’t have enough evidence to come to a conclusion. Our knowledge would be incomplete. I ask the question again, how is the snapshot view of the fossil record false? What reason(s) do we have to accept that for a few instances in history, everything we know about life mysteriously suspended and some other process took over, other than the traditional stimulus-response nature of evolution? How is the idea wrong that the reason that the gaps are there are because we simply haven’t been lucky enough to find these transient forms?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
