Jevons’ Rule states that a single absolute conflict between fact and a hypothesis is fatal to that hypothesis. Darwin’s theory of gradual evolution cannot logically be sustained because it is a theory which is in direct conflict with paleontological facts and is thus falsified by Jevons’ Rule. This conflict between Darwin’s theory and paleontology was known from the time Darwin’s book was published, but reliable investigative procedures were not allowed to stand in the way of the materialists’ determination to establish an explanation for the origin of life. Thus began a policy of suppression, calculated ignorance, and deliberate closed-mindedness regarding unfavorable evidence on the part of macroevolutionists in science education. Today the teaching of evolution is doctrinal rather than genuinely theoretical; it is a curriculum deliberately tailored to indoctrinate rather than educate and a curriculum whose palpable intellectual duplicity must be exposed. When the gradualists’ theory of macroevolution is analyzed in the context of paleontological facts, it is disproved by the obvious lack of intermediate fossil forms. Darwin foresaw this problem as did the theistic evolutionist, St. George Mivart, whose ideas are explored here. Mivart formulated an early version of the punctuated equilibrium model, a version predicated on Divine miracles.
