nobody has ever pinned down any real evidence for Jesus he appears to be a character in a book only, there is a mountain of evidence on the other hand for evolution but Christians make much of the missing link that proves man and apes are descended from a common ancestor...whose missing person will turn up eventually and whose won't do you think?

You've clearly lost contact with reality if you can't distinguish what is fact and what is not.

There really isn't a "missing link" anymore. They're finding fossils that appear to be early forms of humans all the time. Evolution has never been disproven and those that try usually have no understanding of it at all.

Evolution is a theory just like the "Theory" of relativity. Therefore evolution is just another branch of study.
Christianity on the other hand is a book of so-called "facts" some of which prove true simply because there are events which actually happened in history that ended up in there book (duh??). I mean its pretty unlikely any author would attempt or even be able to write a book without using references to current events/things. So Evolution or the final completion of that study will definitely come first.
And as far as christianity is concerned eventually it too will become history and people will scoff and laugh at the thought that it ever existed.Just like some people do now in regards to the greek mythos,or the roman pagan cultures, etc....

Since the THeory of Evolution has been proposed by Darwin, there have been absolutly No "missing links" found whatsoever... and that is a fact-not my oppinion
Unless you have missing links- you have no evolution-
Of course you can make up fake fossils and sculptures, and computer images of animals that never existed just to try and proove your belief... this is what several Evolutionist have done... and many gulible people, choose to believe in it. All of those humaniod ape-men- are frauds, bits and peices from different species. For instince one of these ape-men was constructed from a pigs tooth, another was contructed from an apes skull, another was constructed from a native American- Talk about racist- telling the world that this sub-human was constrcucted from an exitinct species... when it is a natives skelliton... how sad...
Oh and the last " so called ape man" before , "modern man" has absolutly no distiction between modern man at all...
There cannot just be one, "missing link", but there has to be millions linking between animals to give Evolution some ground on factual evidence... too bad there is no such thing as a missing link.
Scientific law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form... by natural means...
Wow, that fact sort of contradicts evolution's origin of the universe, does it not...evolution states that everything, laws, light, partricles formed from nothing...
Problem: particles of the atom-[ neutron, and proton]- have no attraction... so if by some miricle that those particles, from nothing, formed a stable nucleus before drifting off into infinity- and at the same time formed a stable electron orbit, traveling at insane speeds...
guess what that is just one atom.... most everything is made up of countless atoms...
chance of evolution senario: oddless.
Wow, using this mountain load just downright prooves evolution don't it?
Science is based upon Fact NOT Theory, upon real evidence- not assumptions...
So in conclusion the Theory of Evolution is no more than a suedo-science, a religion, an alternative belief system for those that are too closed minded to believe in God, Not a science. You can't call yourself a scientist, and at the same time claim evolution as fact without factual evidence, only mere oppinion
It is sad how people will choose to believe in anything short of insanity and beyond than in God...
But if you are closedminded from all things, including facts, that are appart from your ideology- then you are un-reasonable.
So your basically arguing the truth as you see it vs. the facts as they are.
If you want to believe that logic, laughter, art, self-awareness, language... formed by oddless chance... you go right ahead...if you want to believe that the universe formed from a speck from nothing, which contradicts scientific law, be my guest, that is your own blind faith...
sad how you will believe in insanity and illogical oppinion than in God...
I'm praying for you,
God bless you and yours

OK think about this. The missing link is the evolutionary stage between man and ape. If we evolved it makes perfect sense that we (men) were once in this stage. However, not just one person would be in this stage, everyone would. This is reassured to us by evolutionists all the time when they show us how a Field rat became a bat. They show the species as it evolved and attempt to prove it with the countless skeletons they unearth. The problem is this however, with the missing link theory. Based on the evidence evolutionists show us for the evolution of other species, there would be not just one missing link, but thousands, even hundreds of thousands-if not millions. We have yet to find a single missing link however. As for Christianity:
The bible is not the only proof of Jesus' existence. He is an actual pr oven historical person. Whether you believe he was the Son of God or not however is only a matter of belief/faith and not science.
Now to answer your question. Evolutions missing link, even if it does turn up cannot prove the evolution of man to ape unless many many many mi sing links were found. Secondly, as for Christianity's "missing Jesus". He is not missing to the Christian's. He is present in the lives of his people, he is even present in the lives of those who will not follow him, although they fail to recognize him and believe him to be missing. But most importantly, he is present in the Eucharist!

If God allowed man to come into existence through the evolutionary process then how is the creation of Eve explained? The Scriptures teach that she was created by God out of one of Adam's ribs (Gen. 2:22). The consequences of denying the truth of Gen. 2:22 is to deny the validity and authority of Jesus Christ; for Jesus, quoting from the book of Genesis declared, "But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female'" (Mk. 10:6). There is no way to accept both Jesus' words and a theory which includes the process of evolution. Its interesting that you question the life of Jesus but not of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington ect. We have never met these men, we have only read about them in a book....
The divine predictions given centuries before concerning what would take place were frequently referred to by the apostles when they preached the gospel. These references have been divinely recorded for our assurance and conviction.The fact that we not only have credible, eyewitness testimony concerning Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, but also have these and many more amazing detailed prophecies concerning these events leaves no excuse for disbelief (Mk. 16:16). The term "theistic evolution" is actually an oxymoron. "Theism" is the belief in the existence of God, especially belief in a personal God as Creator and Ruler of the world. "Evolution" is the theory that life developed by chance out of inorganic material and then grew over a period of millions of years in complexity and variety into all the species we have today. Though much more could be stated, it should be obvious that theistic evolution and the Scriptures cannot be harmonized.

If Jesus ever lived, he's certainly not coming back. There will always be 'missing links' in evolution, unless we can recover all the bodies of all organisms that ever lived, which is certainly not going to happen either.
I put the odds of either of these at approximately 0.

The missing link has already been found, but never to a believer's satisfaction. Creation advocates want transitional fossils from the common ancestor up to humans, but just as you can keep dividing a number in half down to infinity, they will always demand more transitional fossils between transitional fossils. Never mind the amount of organisms that have lived throughout time and the small fraction of them that are able to become fossils (and not decompose completely).

Actually , let me get u straight, there is real evidence of Jesus, and the fact is JESUS LIVES.
When it hits u one day, u will wake up and see that Jesus is all too real.
From experience, u should never doubt the existence of JESUS.
THe book is magical and all too real even the words in the bible are all too powerful and will make too much positive happen in your life if u just engulf it in your mind and heart.

The missing link has been found for evolution, it's no longer the "missing link"
The missing hip bone to prove evolution to biped was found years ago.
