I see evolutionists advancing the idea that evolution has taken place in spite of the evidence of stasis. This type of thing isn't new. They argue that our information on fossil lifeforms is incomplete, and evolution should be assumed to have taken place in the parts which weren't preserved. The knowledge we lack is interpreted as favoring evolutionism.

But this goes back a little ways. From the source cited in my "Open Conspiracy" post #254612:

...[Darwin’s approach is] to found a theory, not on our knowledge, but on our
ignorance. Nor is this the only instance in which he seems to have adopted similar reasoning....
We confess ourselves to have been somewhat astonished at this bold manner of disposing of
difficulties....We had imagined, too, that the facts reasoned upon ought to be real, and not
hypothetical....
It's 150 years later, and we're still being asked to look to that which we don't know for evidence of evolution.

The burden of proof, they say, lies with those who deny that which they imagine. I can imagine all sorts of things, and designate them undetectable. I can call them invisible, put them in the future or the past, who knows what else... But that does not prove they exist, and the burden of proof is not on those who dispute their existence.

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
