A Pitt professor challenged a part of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution in an article published in the scientific magazine The New Anatomist last week.
....Schwartz refuted Darwin’s theory of gradual evolution in organisms with one that states that evolution occurs quickly and suddenly as the result of cell mutations.
“Darwinism’s presence in science is so overwhelming,” Schwartz said. “For the longest time, there was no room for alternative thinking among the scientific community.”
This has led Schwartz ” who believes that this indoctrination has resulted in scientists who don’t know enough about the history of the theories they learned ” to teach all different aspects of evolution to his students.
....
Darwin’s theory, a staple in science curriculums, states that evolution in organisms occurs gradually over time. His theory also states that gaps in the fossil record, in which there are missing links between the different phases of evolution in organisms are temporary because the linking fossils haven’t been found yet.
Schwartz, through research of the fossil record and use of Maresca’s findings about cell structure, believes otherwise.
“If you look at the fossil record, organisms didn’t gain new items like teeth and jaws gradually,” Schwartz said. “It’s not like fish developed bony teeth one piece at a time. It happened suddenly.”
... Modern cell biology doesn’t support Darwinism.”

These guys have published their paper, and though refuting Darwinism, it is still evolution. What is interesting to me is how they assert the same facts I have asserted here concerning the fossil record.
Note: the thread title is a quote from them, but is not meant to convey the topic is really about just cell biology. It is about their ideas, which include the fossil record, and the fact they have published this idea.

This looks very interesting, I'd prefer something from the actual research paper to a newspaper article but in the interest of expediency I will promote this as is.
The article has been published here, this is the abstract, those with the neccessary academic access should be able to get the full text.
TTFN,
