What exactly is the missing link that theists point out as a flaw in evolution?

Question

If it is the link between humans and previous species, than many have been found. Perhaps they have never heard of Australopithecus or Homo erectus.

whirlingmerc...: Don't get your science from a Christian website. Australopithecus is a biped mammal that was very closely related to ancient man. The fossils have been found and proven to be exactly what they appear to be.

Answer 1

You porbably missied the episode on the discover channel where the so called expert tried to explain why Lucy's pelvis was shaped like a tree dewller... he concluded ... a deer stepped on it...it broke and oddly fused almost perfectly together in the wrong configureaiton...see... the expert sawed it in half and recemmented it and viola!!!! it turned out the way his preconcienved notion wanted despite how it looked...
amazing isit not?

-------
You have quite a sense of humor!!! Australepithicus Aferensus Southere African Ape...aka Lucy... is the worst example of fossil evidense I ever heard named after the song Lucy i n the sky with diammonds

Knucklewalker, curved hands and feet for tree dwelling, legs taperin in like a trapeeze artist, a pelvis bent in tree balancing configuration not as a land walker.... Lucy is star witness AGAINST ape to man evolution

And contemporary with Lucy is the Laetoli footpronts where a totally human adult and child footprints run 75 feet in parrallel with the child matching the parents feet step for step as a child might. Conclusion: people and monkeys lived near eachother at that time

The problem is that may of these fossil hunters like Mary leaky invested their whole lives searching and serching and needed to grasp at something even its it a terrible argument to justify the ocnclusion they set out to prove before there was so called evidense

of course there was the evidense at the scopes trial that stood for about 40,,, the fraudulent Piltdown man where some unknown person took a monkey and files the teeth down and stained them to make them look old

the missing link is still missing

Answer 2

Evolution just doesn't make any sense. How come some animals haven't "evolved"? Like the alligator & the cockroach. If we've all come from pond scum and the big bang, then why didn't they change? Do I believe there were "cavepeople"? Yes, many people lived in caves. I think they developed debilitating forms of arthritis too, from living that way, thus making them walk hunched over. Those are the fossils that they've found...people with disabilities. I've watched a ton of history shows, over my many years, and when you've been around the corner as much as I have, you get to see scientists stumble over themselves a lot. Especially when they find something new, that doesn't quite fit what they've offered as "truth". Now, you would have me believe that a junk yard blew up, one day, then all came back together to form a perfect stretch limo?! I guess you have more faith than I do. Because that's how much faith I would have to have in order to believe evolution. Bah! Humbug! <*)))><

Answer 3

Avbunnys, read a little on allopatric speciation. It may be instructive. Also, the Lady Hope story ("Darwin recanted, etc, etc") was a hoax. Even creationists acknowledge this. Answers-In-Genesis has it as one of the first arguments creationists SHOULDN'T use. Besides, look up argumentum ad vercundiam, suppressed evidence, and red herring in textbooks on logic. Even if Darwin had recanted (which he didn't), it wouldn't make a difference since science is concerned with the evidence, not opinions.

By the way, back on the actual thesis, there are no actual "missing links."

Answer 4

I'm not a theist or even a Christian but I have read that there really is a missing link. I have read that Homo Erectus and Cor Magnon man lived at the same time side by side and one did not evolve from the other.

Answer 5

Ohhh Christie Christie Chrisie... Your kidding properly??? ... not genuine in any respect.. there are various of flora and animals and insects that are alive in the present day that adventure the fossil record. The liquidambar plant is supposedly 20 million years old in fossils yet grows in the present day contained in the US yet in case you dont comprehend what a liquidambar is attempt a shrimp... fossil shrimp and residing shrimp seem alike. There are all sorts of fossils unchanged from animals in the present day, even residing timber, insects and animals. they're typically pronounced as residing fossils The Horshoe crab, the Bee, the ant, the Wallami pine of Austrailia a tree from DIno cases (supposedly >sixty 5 million years in the past), coelacinth fish Creationists believe in a minimum of three sorts of animal adaptiations a million) after the front of guy's sin int he international animals were affected by the fall as dath entereed the international 2) each and each and every animal type can adapt yet not grow to be anothe type 3) the ecosystem appreciably replaced after the flood, making the international a lot less hosptiable to a pair sorts of animals like dinosaria Many animals were higher. there have been 8 ft beaver in u.s., 6 ft milipeeds in England and Canada, yark stick wingspan of dragon flies... maximum issues were higher... they lived longer and grew before the flood ... in a very different international you're soooo incorrect Christie... yet there is continuously desire... and the hopes call is Jesus !

Answer 6

I can't believe that people don't believe fossil evidence anymore! So all of the fossils we have dug up were planted by atheists or something?

Yes that must be it. Those damn atheists are planting fossils every where to try and trick the world into believing in evolution! But Christians won't be fooled! Youll see! Faith is much stronger proof than physical evidence could ever be!

Jeez! I cant believe these people.

Answer 7

I think they want an example of every single genetic change that occurred leading from our primate ancestors to today. Or... actually you know what? That probably wouldn't be good enough for them either. Accepting what's right in front of their faces is not a strong point of theirs.

the "pretty" one do you even read the questions you answer? It really doesn't seem like you do, at least not more than one or two words of it.

Answer 8

there is not one missing link. If evolution is true there should be masses of missing links and a whole lot of them. And all leading to species we know now. One skeleton that has fully developed characteristics could have been a separate died out species.

missing links so far have also turned out to be frauds (peltdown man), or separate species all together (Neanderthal man)

Answer 9

Perilous Rose...that is a flat out lie and one of the most blatent lies I have ever seen or heard.

For everyone else yelling about lack of fossil record you need to think about how rare a fossil is. Just because something died doesn't mean it is fossilized..it takes just the right conditions.

Answer 10

You do realize you made those things up. I watched a whole video on those things once, but I still don't believe in them. They don't exist today, so how can we say they ever existed. Scientists make fakes all the time, skulls, bodies, you name it...there is more prove for the flood and creation then there is for evolution, get use to it.
