Will Christians point out missing links...?

Question

until we have all the bones of every generation EVER? How short does the link have to be for Christians to make the mental leap?

Answer 1

Yes, they will. After all, you can always insert another point between two points. There is room for an infinite number of points between the period at the end of this sentence and the capital "H" that begins the next one. Hence, there will always be space, and by the same logic, there will always be missing links.

In addition to that, Christians refuse to actually delve into evolutionary science deeply enough to grasp even the basics. They find it much easier to just repeat the b.s. they read online that's made up by Christian apologists who don't know crap about science. Why try to research the truth when lies fit in so much more easily with their worldview?

Answer 2

Religion and science, especially for "Bible-believing" Christians, are mutually exclusive and irreconcilably divided. The individuals you wonder about do not engage in rational thought, and cannot contemplate the inaccuracies and linguistic issues with the very text they hold so "inerrant". A previous responder made the leap of faith that if we understand and accept evolution, then we must accept all of Darwin's opinions. He was right about evolution (the basis for all modern biology and medical science, if you don't believe so, quit immunizing your children), but just because he held racist views in a racist era does not mean we accept him entirely. We know he wasn't a prophet - he was a theorist. Christians cannot understand the difference. Many of the people you ask about believe Latin is a holy language, even if Christ spoke Aramaic. They have no concept of the distortions and "corrections" made in the Greek texts of the New Testament, which was written without any punctuation or separation of words but with abbreviations with multiple meanings.

You ask something they are incapable of doing: independent and critical thought. They will never understand.

Answer 3

well from ape to mankind is a big leap. And Darwin thought that black people were the missing links. So if you're satisfied with that racist line of thinking, fine. But I for one am not.

Answer 4

When are non christians going to make the leap? The only leap i'm making is leaping into Jesus' arms when he returns.

Answer 5

Even if every creature in the chain from the first pre-biotic replicators all the way to their own mothers and fathers could be documented in an ironclad way, creationists would still not accept it, because it isn't really about a lack of evidence, it's about a conflict between reality and fantasy.

Answer 6

Why are you so obsessed about Christians? Every thing you put on here is about Christians!! I think there is a missing link between you and God.

Answer 7

It's not an issue with the bones. It is an issue with the assumptions that are made about the bones.

Recommend http://www.answersingenesis.org for some understanding of creationists thoughts on most science subjects.

Answer 8

Bud, god himself could come down and tell them he was only joking and there really isn't an afterlife...they would still refuse to believe FACTS. Sad but true.(it's why the governments spent so much effort on brainwash techniques - they work so well!)

Does ANY christian realise Darwin dies around 130, years ago!!!?? Apparently not...
Do we still use Penny Farthings to cycle places aswell?

Answer 9

The answer is that there is no missing link. The world was created in 7 days, just like the bible says. Why, because the answer can't possibly be that the bible was written by mortal man, who was just trying to answer questions we didn't understand back then. Just like the ancient Greeks/Romans made up gods of their own to explain lightning and thunder, and that bright ball of light that flew across our sky every day. Just like some native american tribes created spirit gods to protect them from the dangers of the wild. Just like islamic fundamentalists believe that they will get 72 virgins in the afterlife if they give their life for a jihad/fatwa.
So instead of taking the bible for what it is (a compilation of essays from people trying to relate, in THEIR day and age, a way to coexist with our fellow man), lets follow it blindly word for word - even though it was written by people who thought that turrettes syndrome and epilespy meant you were possessed by the devil. Matter of fact, lets all stop trying to understand things that we don't currently understand - like how to cure AIDs, or how to find a more earth friendly form of energy, or how to better protect ourselves from natural disasters. Obviously the people who wrote the bible/koran/etc. etc. already had it all figured out. Because God/Allah/Buddha/Yahweh/Zues/On-kar/Jehova/Odin (or whatever you call him) will solve all our problems for us.
And as for dinosaur bones, scientific evidence of evolution, the fact that the world is not flat, and anything else that contradicts what was once believed by religious fanatics in history or at present - that is all just stuff planted by the devil to make us disbelieve the ONE TRUE WORD. And the fact that there is no evidence to support that the world was ever completely flooded by water and Noak and his Ark ever repopulated the planet, that the Red Sea ever parted, that Jesus ever walked on water, or that the world was created in 7 days - all that evidence was obviously erased by the devil to confuse us. We are just supposed to believe like good little zealots. In fact I am sure that Doe and his Heaven's Gate Cult really were picked up by aliens on the far side of the Haley-Bopp asteroid after they poisoned themselves to death (San Diego suicide cult reference) - because they really really believed it to be.
P.s. If you do know someone that has tourrettes syndrome, or epilespy - be sure to burn them at the stake, because they are obviously possessed by the devil or practicing witch craft.

Answer 10

Ive' looked at alot of their (evolutionist) stuff (fossil's and record's) they haven't proven a thing to me.
BUT, DNA can be messed with (not according to the CREATOR of course) and thing's can get a little-sticky at time's, making it LOOK like GOD did it. Sometime's man messes' with stuff he should just leave alone!!!!! But that' what that devil want' us to do, start thinking that we are CREATOR's and were not!!!! The devil LIE'S, all the time. That's all he has to offer. And sometime's men (male and female) believe's his LIE's, sometime's to their worst possible end. So sad...........
