Not even remotley.
It was an idea that had very little significance as it came out saying the same exact thing as darwinian evolution...just had different words from the time scales.
PE states changes occur quickly IN TERMS OF GEOLOGICAL AGE....which is eons...which comes out to be same thing as Darwin says

Any one reading Genesis can not accept Evolution.
1. Genesis's has a genealogy that makes up all the Jews starting from Adam.
Now if Adam doesn't exist then Jews can't possibly exist because a Jew is an ancestor of the tribe of one of Adams children who's name is Abraham. If Abraham did not come from Adam then the bible pretty much isn't true.
2. Adam and Eve were the first people to learn of the plan of salvation from Jesus Christ.
Adam was told to sacrifice a lamb with out blemish.
If there was no Adam then when was the plan of salvation introduced to mankind?
3. Bones don't prove any thing. A jaw bone doesn't prove that an ape mated and brought forth mankind.
I trust the bible because it is written by those who have seen.
God himself gave us Genesis. Bones don't tell any stories, the fables come from the scientist holding the bones, and there is a long history of lies that prove how well we can trust science

I don't trust some bones because they don't show me any thing.
Funny that I'm made fun of for trusting written word instead of some dumb bone.

No. Not when it is supported by evidence and logic. Nobody "believes" punctuated equilibrium blindly. Those biologists who find it a good theory (and that is not all biologists) do so because it fits the evidence. No "faith" needed.

No, it isn't faith; PE basically states that evolution may proceed with long periods of relatively little change (stasis) punctuated with short periods of intense change. You see examples of this with house flies, trilobites, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Hi. I don't think so. "Faith" does not allow for very much to be caused by Nature.

Not really. It's just a recognition that populations tend to remain stable when the environment is stable.
