Well, there are links that we know are missing and links that we know we know are missing and links that we know we don't know are missing and links that we don't know we don't know are missing.

There are no missing links that all evolutionists agree are missing links. There are some that many evolutionists feel are legitimate missing links but for every so-called missing link you can find world renown paleontologists that are evolutionists and that disagree. Most of the so-called missing links were out and out frauds. Even if every so-called missing link was really a missing link, there's just not enough of them. You only have a small amount of alledged missing links. They should be out there by the millions. Darwin said "they're out there by the millions...you should be stumbling over them as you walk out the back door of your house". His excuse as to why they hadn't found any was because at that time archeology was in it's infant stages. But here we are 150 years later and we still haven't found any that everyone agrees on. Stephan J Gould used to say "there's a trade secret among paleontologist, namely, that the transitional forms do not exist". It's no surprise that Gould and Niles Eldridge left Darwinian evolution and started their own theory called 'Punctuated Equilibrium', a theory that doesn't need transitional forms(missing links).

Missing link is the term usually used for a being that is part one species and part another. No missing links in that sense have ever been found. Many creatures, including man have mutated over time but not from one species to another. You can get different sizes, different colors, some with hair, some without etc, but you will not find any evidence (scientific or otherwise) of a change that went from one species to another in a single generation. And, science itself says that it had to be in one generation because one of the laws of science is that nature NEVER keeps a mutation unless it is complete. In otherwords, it will not continue to pass down a mutation to EVERY generation unless the purpose for the mutation is always being served.

The fossil record does not show a slow evolution from one species to another. There are no transitional forms alive today or found in the fossil record. The Bible says that animals were created in their kind. And science has never shown one species changing into another species. We have only seen minor variation within species. A light brown moth changing to a dark brown moth is not a different kind. But that is the best that science can do! A light brown moth is kind of a lame "missing link."

The fact is, species have evolved hundreds of thousands of times over the course of history. There isn't just "one" missing link for every species. There are thousands of different types of species for each species now in existence. Like "Lucy" and the new skeleton they found that proves humans once climbed trees like monkeys, that's even older than Lucy.

True. The "transitional forms" people claim are simply variations of a species of animal. Just because Lucy could walk upright doesn't make her human (I think there is a species of chimps that actually do walk upright).
Did you know that Neanderthal man was discovered before Darwin wrote his first book on macro-evolution/Natural Selection? People just believed they were an extinct race of humans!

Tautology. If a missing link is known, it's no longer a missing link.

There are a number that have been disproven, but there are none that have actually been proven to be missing links that I'm aware of. Otherwise, I'd be a deist already.
