WHY are there MILLIONS of missing links??

Question

You here of the missing link being between apes and humans, but then why is there millions of other missing links like a fish that can walk or a frog that can fly? We can put all living things in specific catagories but if we all evolved from one single cell there should still be all the links that evolved throughout time right?

Answer 1

wronnnng

Answer 2

wrong.

the likelyhood that a plant or animal will become fossilized instead of just rot away into dust is slim to none. it's not like you can walk around and see old bones laying around, either. what there is is underground, and much of that is underwater (the earth moves - more science).

SO, if you were the so-called "missing-link," the low probability of getting fossilized combined with the high probability that if you did get fossilized you are either under water or under a building, leads to an extremely low probability that your existence would ever be proved.

By the way, birds evolved from reptiles, not amphibians. I don't think science will ever find a flying-frog, and birds are kind of close to flying lizards. Since the non-existence of anything (G*d, missing-links, the flying spaghetti monster, etc.) can never be proven, I am willing to be wrong. G*d will forgive me.

UPDATE: scientists found the missing link between dinosaurs and birds (2nd link)

Answer 3

And before anyone talks about those recently discovered fish, let them know that those are not genuine walking fish, they do not have the leg structures necessary for walking, those legs would have served a purpose of swimming.

Oh, and consider this: genetics disagree with evolution, because there is no increase in genetic information (through mutations) as evolution would require, but a decrease or resorting of said information. The meaning? Evolution is impossible.

Answer 4

Creationists assert that complexity is proof the universe was created by a creator who was not created. That indicates the inability to understand biology or the theory of evolution.

Creationists wouldn't be able to grasp the data if it was presented to them, so why would anyone waste their time?

If you prefer "God did it" to the truth, that's your choice, but it does not alter the fact the universe was not created.

Answer 5

because we want there to be..
there will always be evolutionary dead ends, just nature feeling out the best course of action. and no there does not need to be current links to eveolution everywhere, because each link would evolve in many different ways.

Answer 6

Missing links are made up to fill in a space cause they truly don't have the answer & their theories would die!

Answer 7

Hence there are no "missing links" because we did not all evolve from "primortial soup." Evoloution happens yes, but not from one spiecies to another. :o)

Answer 8

it is very rare to find chimpanzee fossils and /or skeletons so they must not exist

oh hold it they do RIGHT NOW

but you expect there to be tons of evidence from millions of years ago that occurred mainly in jungles that are not conducive to fossil evidence?

soga you are making things up! that is not evolution!

Answer 9

May be they all ran away with some alien for holaa hooo

Answer 10

There are transition fossils. Do research.

Answer 11

ask a scientist, not a preacher.
