Of course not.
Do this: Take two glasses, place them on a table about 12 inches apart. Each glass represents some "fossil". Now, there is a gap between the two fossils, which we need to fill with a transitional fossil. This article does so. So, place a glass between the two glasses. What do you see? Two new gaps have been created - and Creationist, in all thier grand stupidity, will then demand that both of those gaps be filled. So we fill them. And POOF! Four more gaps materialize....and get filled, and eight gaps materialize and so on ad infinitum.
Creationists are foolish little children with no comprehension of real science.

Of course not, because their beliefs don't rely on evidence, just faith. There was a fossil recently found of something between a fish and amphibian, there have been dolphins and whales found with vestigeal hind legs. None of these make any difference to the faithful
They are taught that faith is a virtue....and the more faith one has in the face of evidence that contradicts your beliefs, the more virtuous you are thought to be. It is a battle that we can't win, because we aren't playing by the same rules.
Also, I know it is in the headline, but evolutionists don't use the term "missing link"...that is something that the fundies came up with. Evolution talks about cumulative selection of beneficial mutations which may or may not lead to transitional species.

No, all the evidence in the world will not convince them of anything because they have perfected the ability to deny reality.

I am not a Republican. I do not look like an elephant, talk like an elephant or act like an elephant.

No way. They will deny this, of course.
