Darwin's brood: If the missing link is never found, will you admit the theory can not be proven?

Question

Will you give up or die trying to prove what will likely never be revealed?

Answer 1

what if god never comes back? god has gone the last 2000 years without so much as a postcard or a scrap of evidence that hes even around. if gods missing link is never found, will you christians admit your theory cant be proven? will you give up or die trying to prove what will likely never be revealed?

Answer 2

Your "missing link" complaint is flawed in so many ways I can't even begin to explain to you.
FIRST...there have been links found. But the thing is, every time you find a link, it creates two MORE "missing" links. --A link between the oldest and the newly found (middle) link, and the link between the newly found (middle) link and the youngest species.-- And every time you find another link, two more gaps are created. The only way to possibly avoid this is to find every single descendant of an ancient fossil. (Which isn't possible.) So we could provide you with millions of links and you would still whine about "missing links." Your whole concept of ‘missing links’ is ignorant, childish and laughed at throughout the non-creationist community.

Are you under the impression that "THE" missing link is ONE being? Just using the phrase "If THE missing link is never found..." shows knowledge at the level of a second-grader.

Answer 3

Goethe, that's why it's called a "theory"; the idea that there needs to be some sort of "missing link" with a club in one hand and a briefcase in the other is a little bit 19th century. The fossil record shows us evidence for early permutations of human life, e.g. Lucy. That's as close to a "missing link" as anybody's going to get, but it happens to be excellent supporting evidence.

Science is a process, sometimes requiring years of work and research. Rational people who understand that don't "give up", they simply continue the work.

BTW, "Darwin's brood" would be his children; labels are counterproductive and cheap.

Answer 4

By definition, no theory can every be "proven". Although the theory of evolution is a very strong theory. And the "missing link" was found, it is basically missing links.

Answer 5

Excuse me, evolution is a fact it has been proven, regardless of what "pseudo-science" you've been feed. As for the "missing link" there is enough proof even without a common ancestor identified to accept that man and apes are related.

Answer 6

There is plenty of evidence supporting evolution already. It's not based on the missing link. (for people that is). Besides, plenty of 'missing links' have been found.

Answer 7

Darwin's theory has already been proven again and again over 150 years.

thousands of links have been found. thousands remain to be found.

you apparently know very little about evolution.

Answer 8

First of all,

That question makes no sense, because if something is not found in my lifetime it doesn't mean it will never happen.
Secondly, as said before, many fossils/skeletons have been found. Google for Lucy, for instance or "hominids". I'm not dying to prove anything. There's plenty of proof already.

Answer 9

The missing link? Honey, we've already made that link. If you yourself need more proof, that's fine. I understand research and science and it is logical, therefore I'm not banging my head against the ground yelling about not enough proof for a rational theory.

There is no way I would ever believe in your faith, so science is not something for me to defend. Science is real and changing, religion is not.

Answer 10

The so-called "missing link" deals with the separation of man and ape, not really about the overall truth of evolution.
