Is it kind of going in the way that
man will believe anything as long as it is not in the Bible?
Not an attack, just food for thought.
Also isnt evolution (for its lack of evidence) a kind of blind faith?

How is it easier to believe that we evolved from a once cell species than two human parents?
How is it possible that a sea creature mated with a bird? Things mate after their own kind in their own species---this will also account for why primates--monkeys--orangs and such cannot talk and will never learn to speak a language.
If you believe there are sufficient transitional fossil records---you are not being scientific and believing in proofs that do not exist.
The God of the new testament teaches love thy neighbor as thyself and there are no killings.
I appreciate the respectful answers, but to those of you with disrespectful, answers aren't you getting angry just because I dont share your beliefs? Isn't that what you constantly accuse Christians of doing?

NO EVIDENCE: Jesus of Nazareth did exist and there are numerous historical accounts of His existence. I play the challenge card on that one. Also He had many enemies who would have done anything to prove Him as a fraud.
They were all unsuccessful. Also you can visit most any famous persons tomb. Why not Christ's? His words are indisputable truth, and His actions and sacrifice are unequalled by any human. His life has inspired more faith hope and love than any other human being that has ever existed. More books have been written on Christ than any other subject in human history.
If He did not exist please account for the fact that He is the most noted personality in human history?

Since Darwin`s theory evolutionists have indeed been searching for transitional fossils which logically should be amounting to millions,yet still they have found zero fossils either on land or sea.
Darwin himself was totally stumped by this lack of transitional fossils and remarked that this confounded him.
It is funny the lengths that evolutionists will go to in their desperation and have even resorted to forgeries to try and validate their theories, examples of this are the infamous `Piltdown Man` and the `Nebraska Man`
One of the most cherished fossils that evolutionists held up for years was the `Coelacanth`which they claimed was a true transitional form that enabled this ancient fish to evolve into a land creature and this was why it had disappeared, and then the same fish started turning up about 50yrs ago in Madagascar, and to seal the doom of the evolutionists each specimen caught was exactly the same in every way including the skeleton of the fossil specimens that they had.
It sure seems like God has had the last laugh.

Uh, the "lack of transitional fossils" is a lie -- there are lots of them. As soon as scientists find new ones, the anti-scientists then require transitions between those and the previous and subsequent forms. Uh, you say none do, then you point out that they do. Yes, fossils are bones -- that's what usually gets fossilized (in the rare cases that any part of any body is fossilized). Uh, yes, scientific names are long, because they name things to both show what larger group they're related to, and their specific name. Just because big words frighten you, doesn't mean that science is false. If you choose ignorance and irrationality, that's your choice. But to choose to not have a clue, an then criticize reasonable people for accepting what evidence proves, you just look silly.

The reason there is a lack of transitionl fossils is that
1- It is very hard for fossils to form an organism must be in the correct environment at the exactly right time.
2 - It is quite hard to find fossils the earth is a big place.
Evolution is not just blind faith it is a scientifically backed hypothesis (Genes and DNA as well as biochemical and physical Data) The way science works is is that you take all the available information and people submit theories and Hypothesis and then the bad and wrong ones are discounted until a theory that goes with all the available evidence is found ,This too will be disregarded if some new evidence is found, for evoluton no evidence has ever been found to disprove it and so it remains fact. Everybody thought the world was flat till it was proved otherwise. The bible being human history has been discounted as its fairly wrong in most cases as proved by physical data as well as the fact that even in the gospels there are differences and so must be discounted as fairly lacking the credibility to be scientifically concidered.

Here's another thought , Maybe the requirement for a transitional fossil is unrealistic and does not in fact go along with the reality of evolution . Maybe evolution is about quantitative leaps rather than incremental progressions therefore there are no incremental fossils.

Humans evolved from monkeys. I don't need any evidence because God told me in a dream. He said "Lo, for you are my Child, and this Monkey is your great great great gagoogle-great grand father."
But seriously, that's a good point about people believing anything just because its Not in the Bible, that's a new one.
However, you shouldn't mix up a Gap in the evidence with a Lack of evidence. That's like saying a person who is missing a couple of teeth has no teeth at all. There is quite a bit of evidence supporting the theory of evolution. There is no evidence supporting the concept of intelligent design. Intelligent Design is the notion that the world was created just as it said in Genesis chapter 1. That's just one old book though, whywould you believe that book, and not another one which claims to be the singular revealed word of god?
Why not just believe in the old Greek Myths?

Yes, it is, blind faith. It is a religion to many. There is no doubt about that. If you watch the news, from time to time they bring up "new" findings that can't be explained.
An example is the so-called "mammal explosion" that they thought happened after the dinosaurs died off. New fossil finds show that not to be true. And I believe that the most they search, the more evidence will be found that the entire theory is a bunch of garbage. And there was just a article about Neanderthals that shows that much of our knowledge or so-called knowledge about them is wrong.

Evolution is not blind faith. it is based upon reasonable assumptions; it's called evidence, derived from the scientific method. But if you want to be a jerk about it, look up Rene Descartes and you'll quickly learn that there is virtually nothing that isn't blind faith. Oh, and btw, whatever transitional fossils the scientific community offers, fundies will ask for transitional fossils to those transitional fossils! Great way to beat the system, guys. Question: Why can't evolution be the mechanism through which God brought about life?

The fact is,while there are gaps in the fossil record. There is a lot that is there. I won't even go into the DNA as you addressed the gaps in the fossil record only. If you had a 1,000 piece picture puzzle of a house in a field,do you need EVERY piece to figure out that it is indeed,a house in a field,and NOT,say,a peanut. OF COURSE NOT!! after you put enough pieces together,it becomes blatantly obvious what the big picture is. Regardless of "missing gaps"

When God created the Earth he wanted it to be real, not obviously artificial, so he created a back-history and laid it down in the strata of the planet, with fossils and sediments created as if over millions of years, with just the right blend of carbon isotopes to simulate various ages of fossils. This was done both for artistic, easthetic reasons, and as a test of our faith. The gaps in the fossil record are there as a mercy, to encourage atheists to reconsider the "Designer Hypothesis" before it's too late for them.
God Bless.

but there's a lack of evidence with religion. we no for a fact that Adam and eve COULD NOT populate the earth we would all be full of deformities. and we'd be brothers sisters and so on and what a horrible thought that would be. there are new fossils being found every day love. and i believe that scientist know more then they lead on. look at it this way what would the world act like if they came out with hard facts,people would have brake downs and so on. there is lots of evidences to suggest evolution you just have to go out and look for it.
