Since Atheists only believe in what they can see,have they ever seen the missing link?

Question

God bless.

Girl Wonder...You claim to have proof??Show me the missing link and prove it!!!

Answer 1

It has been on the news, what science calls the "missing link". I wish those atheists could think for themselves instead of always following the scientists. :)

Answer 2

Number one, the statement that atheists only believe what they can see is setting up your statement to make them look silly. What atheists actually pronounce is that they don't think there is an invisible guy in the sky who waves his hand and makes things happen. That there is a scientific and logical explanation for things and not that it fit the whim of a more powerful being. Your statement probably was intended to apply to individuals who are espousing evolution as the method of change. It boggles my mind that you don't think your god was smart enough to make creatures that have the ability to adapt to a world that he made fluid, changing all the time. That would be a more "intelligent design" that creating a creature that only survives on one food and if that food diappears so does the creature, like, say, the panda. I am also fascinated by the magical way he popped certain creatures to certain parts of the world after the "flood" so that they only exist on other land masses. Kangaroos, and Koalas come to mind, along with the platypus. I wonder if his "creations" were hidden on the Australian continent because maybe he thought they were, oh, I don't know, less adaptable, or maybe ugly, like the poor Dodo bird, whose ancestors could fly, but who god decided they didn't need to and stuffed them all on that little island. Amazing the way "he" works, isn't it.

Answer 3

No, Atheists do not only believe in that which they can see. You made that one up. I have never seen my lungs, but I believe I have them. When I breathe my chest moves. I've seen pictures of other peoples' lungs. It makes sense that I have them, too.

The missing link is a misunderstanding. We'll never have a perfect sequence of skeletons going back from modern man to an early ape. That would require millions of fossils. Nature isn't quite that generous. So obviously the fossil record will be incomplete, anything else would be... uncanny. It'd make you wonder if there isn't a God...

Answer 4

The concept of a "missing link" is something anti-evolutionists believe in, but has nothing to do with the modern ToE. You really need to educate yourself more about the ToE before you start asking these questions, as it just puts your ignorance on display.

The "god of the gaps" argument is really getting old.

There are literally 100's of transitional fossils, the most completely documented being the evolution of the horse. One of the most recent "missing links"...to use YOUR terminology...showed an animal clearly in between a fish and a land animal. Here;s the link. But will you accept it? Or will you demand the link between it and something else, and so on and so on.....

Answer 5

The concept of a "missing link" is ore than half a century out of date.

If you are speaking of the hominid fossils found over the last many years, the answer would have to be "yes" allowing for interpretation of "missing link" into "evidence of descent from common ancestors".

It's the people who think that the theory of evolution and creationism are in conflict that have some thinking to do. Darwin never said or believed that, and he is buried in Westminster Abbey in London.

Don't go blabbing all that you are told by people who refuse to think, it makes you look silly.

Answer 6

Ridiculous question. First, which missing link are you talking about? There are hundreds? Second, just because something hasn't been discovered yet doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Science hasn't just suddenly hit a brick wall. If that was the case, we'd still be in the stone age.

Answer 7

That is a ridiculous question.

A) None of us can see air or gravity or Abraham Lincoln, yet we pretty much believe in each of them.

B) There is NOT one missing link, speciation is a gradual process. Find me the missing link between the Great Dane and the wolf, then we'll talk. They are still the same species and within a few thousand years of each other, so where is it?

Answer 8

Atheists believe in proof. Do we have proof of a missing link? Yes. Do we have proof that there is a god? No. End of story.

Answer 9

Watch my ratings hit rock bottom.....

No. There is a missing link. Actually there are hundreds of thousands of missing links. Just try to get a scientific atheist to adequately explain the lack of proof of transitional life forms. Sudden leap theory is just dumb.

Answer 10

I've seen the complete fossil records of a dozen or more species that proves evolution beyond doubt, and makes the alleged "missing link" irrelevant . Namaste.

Answer 11

A straw man argument. Atheists have never said they only believe in what they see. You're arguing against yourself if you have to put words in other people's mouths.
