Tip to witnessing to Evoltionist?

Question

When they try to explain the earth is bilions of years old and that it took millions of year for a monkey to evol to man...

Ask them, "why can't we find these millions of missing link fossils?" If their statement is true we should be able to go in our backyard and find thousands of missing links.

Something to think about.

Answer 1

While I try not to debate with them, the point you make is the one reason I have problems with the evolution theory.

If we evolved, why is it they can only find partial skeltons, one from each evolutionary chain, and some links are missing entirely. If it took all that time to evolve, why is it there are so few skeletons, so many are incomplete? We can find dino bones that are 20 feet long, but we cant find ONE complete evolutionary bone structure?

Answer 2

Boy oh boy, I've answered this thing about monkeys dozens of times. Here we go again - - - Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Darwin explained that at one point of evolution humans may have been ape-like. Humans evolved along one line, the great apes along another. There is no evidence that one ever became the other.
Now we get to the other falsehood about the missing link. - - - - - In labratories all over the world fossils are in storage. Even the world's greatest scientists can't say for sure if some of them are human or ape. Many are thought to be ape, but have many human features. Others are thought to be early human, but have apelike features.
All of those bones, not quite ape, and not quite human are the various stages of what you call the missing link. They're all there, all you have to do is keep testing, measuring, learning. Because our scientists don't have every answer does not mean they're completely in the dark.
Now about why we don't find thousands of missing link bones. Only under very special conditions will bones last for centuries. If this was not so, we would eventually be smothered with bones. Everything decomposes and returnes to nature. Under special conditions bones are preserved for thousands of years ( but not all bones of those animals )
It would be so easy if whole skeletons were found. As it is, it's the world's greatest jig-saw puzzle.
If you can't believe our best scientists, then you'll believe that humans were made of a lump of clay and some guy blew his breath on it - -- there you are!!!! a human. Sounds logical, doesn't it ? If you want evidence of the missing link. I'd say it's the guy why dreamed that one up.
Something to think about.

Answer 3

First, I would not suggest that monkeys evolved into man, I would suggest that man evolved from a simpler primate form and there is evidence to back this up.

Secondly, your question - "why can't we find these millions of missing link fossils?"

Well, okay apart from the fact that my backyard isn't made of rock from million year old strata, fossils aren't as common as people think. You get a lot of shell fossils because shells withstand fossilisation easier than bones. There will probably never be "millions" of missing link fossils. There are several thousand fossils that fill in broad gaps between species though.

It doesn't matter how small the gaps get between species though as there's always going to be someone demanding that the gaps by even smaller.

Okay, what's your comback to that?

Answer 4

Mate please please please do your self a favor and read an unbiased unslanted book about geology before you comment on the age of the earth.
Most of the exploration in the mining industry that finds the oil that runs your car and the steel they use to build it is done by paleontology, ie the study and relative dating of rocks by the fossils found in them. There is no gap or missing layers in the fossil record going back over 600 million years.
These industry's spend billions on these self same sciences do you think they would spend that sort of money if the science didn't work.
Maybe they should employ Creation "Scientists" to find the oil to put in your car? If they did the pumps would dry up in a month.
Buy a book on the subject and read it if you don't understand get someone to explain it to you then comment!!!!!

Answer 5

Firstly, it was not normally the practice of prehistoric life forms to try to die in places where it would be convenient to paleontologists to find their remains. (Still, new forms are found from time to time.) More importantly, it is necessary to understand that genetic information is stored in digital, not analog, form. That means that there is a minimum size change that can happen to an organism's genetic code -- the changing of one bit. But there is NO MAXIMUM: a one-bit change can activate all or part of an intron, or de-activate all or part of an exon, which can cause an arbitrarily large change in the organism. Or, there can be translocations or chromosome mismatches (such as occurs to cause Down's syndrome). Which means, of course, that a "missing link" may not be missing -- because it did not ever exist. Evolution is now a proven fact, and it is time for people to recognize that and stop squabbling over it.

Answer 6

There's nothing to think about. I'm surprised with your type of logic you're able to even think at all.

Not all bones survive and turn into fossil. The animal has to decompose on top of the right type of material. However, it's not likely that the decomposing body will survive a scavenger. The fossils we do find are just out of chance.

Answer 7

Oh Gee, why didn't I see it all before? All I have to do is turn off my brain, chuck out all reason, logic and real knowledge so that there will be room in my heart (brain having not survived the purging process) for the colossal pile of bilge that are the accumulated myths and superstitions of your ancestors you have dogmaitzed, institutionalized and have the cajones to call the "ultimate truth" of religion.

Answer 8

I'm not going to answer your question, because it's been answered about 50,000 times on this board...it's become really boring. But I will say that I love the word "witnessing." Christians use that word to avoid saying what they are really doing, which is giving unasked-for advice to someone because they feel superior to them and patronize them by saying something like "I'm only trying to help you." Any kind of unasked-for advice is rude.

Answer 9

I've discovered that there is a difference between witnessing and presenting an argument. They can go together as long as the evolutionist is seeking and being led by the Holy Spirit. If not, the argument can go on, and on, and on, and on....
