Evolution? How come we havent found?

Question

How come we have found dinosour bones, fossels etc. believed to be millions of years old? But we havent found anything that was evolving. Like half monkey half man, or whatever. Please dont tell me there are snakes with legs. We have known that was false for years.

uh What the deuce? That would be a snake.

No holyspurt, those are mating prongs, because snakes dont have legs.

No secret agent mam, not that im aware of but i can. They use it to get down under the mud to get their food...what does it have to do with a duck. A dog has paws WOW

BAL mmmmmm no we dont!

mmmmmmm so

So skunkgrease, the only thing we have is mmmmmm a rock, and what we are now. thats wierd

No charlie the 2na, those are tadpoles.

Paul are you from the planet Kolob?

No Shinigami, God didnt creat fossils so he could laugh at us they are real.. And NO I wont move these questions to the science channel. Eveloution is a THEORY just like they say God is.... There for it is a religion . There is no proof of eveloution.

Answer 1

Of course, there are gaps in fossil records. There are no transitional forms.

And where's the 'missing link' that is supposed to connect man with apes? The apes are still around but their so-called higher and better equipped descendents are missing. All they have to show for their disappearance is some dubious pieces of bones. The fact is there is no such thing as missing link.

But evolutionists have come up with theories to explain them. What cannot be explained has to be explained away. It all depends on what people want to believe. If that is what they want to believe then nothing can stop them no matter how shaky the evidence.

Answer 2

Fossils were allowed by God so that He could have a laugh at us here today. If you were to stand beside God and observe how the Earth was created, you would know, wouldn't you? Then you wouldn't have to argue and alienate your brothers and sisters with your opinion. We are here to learn, not to proselytize. As someone earlier pointed out, this is a science question and as such, has no business being in the religion and spirituality section. If you have a religious issue, then speak it more clearly so that others with true knowledge may assist you in your growth. We are here to help, not to hinder. Please do not open the door to mockery. All upon the earth has a purpose. Those thing that have passed away, what possible meaning could they have for you here and now? They are beasts that once ruled the Earth and who now do not. Were they more terrifying than man?

Answer 3

If you refer to the fact that speciation from one species to a next species in the family tree must have occurred fast to leave no trace in the form of fossils, you have a good point. Indeed, it is unfortunate that we have no trace of the speciation process in fossils. It's too bad that evolutionists, mainly those who aren't biologists, but only supporter of the theory, don't acknowledge this fact. They confuse the fact intermediary species must have intermediary features, which is observed in fossils, a strong evidence for evolution, with the other fact that the transition from one species to the next species must occur gradually, which is not observed in fossils. What we see in fossils is indeed not a continuous process. If we accept gradualism, we must acknowledge that there are missing links in the fossil records.

It is a good point, and paleontologists are clearly aware of this fact. However, this only means that speciation occurs quickly at a geological time scale, which is not surprising at all. When a natural event occurs to initiate a speciation, the transition to the new species occurs quickly until a new relatively stable species is obtained. Of course, "quickly" might still be many thousand years, which is not really quickly at the time scale of the species itself (less than 100 years). Even one million years is essentially instantaneous at a geological time scale which is necessary for fossils record.

EDIT: I cannot believe that ZERO COOL received 5 thumbs up. Interpreting the question as if it meant that we should expect a species with just the bottom part, but not the top part or using some other weird interpretation is not fair. There must has been something half between a human and its predecessor because the transition occurred gradually. This is the only fair interpretation. We should also mention that this transition must have required more than one single mutation. Every phase in between is obviously expected, and they aren't seen in the fossil records.

Answer 4

*sigh* Evolution proceeds slowly, via transitional forms. You will not find a "half monkey half man" for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that monkeys didn't evolve into men. Apes and humans had common ancestors - not the same thing.

As for the transitional forms, there are lots of them. There will always, however, be transitional forms between those forms that we won't find, the principal reason there being that fossils are very rare. The surprising thing about the fossil record is not that there aren't more transitional forms (in some sense, EVERY form is a transitional form) as that there are any fossils at all. Do a little research into what it takes to form a fossil and you'll see what I mean. Most things that die don't fossilize.

Answer 5

The way evolution works means every fossil is a transitional fossil. There are not half-A and half-B fossils. They are independent species on the path to new species. A half man half ape would disprove evolution. And there are many, many intermediate fossils between humans and our common ancestor to monkeys.

FYI, stop talking about science terms like "theory". You are showing your ignorance. God is not a theory, evolution is a theory, and a theory isn't a religion. Do you consider gravity a religion?

Answer 6

In this planet what is, is. What is not, is in other planets which we will see as different shapes and forms that seem like evolution from our perspective. Yet evolution occurs inward and manifest outward. Just like a child that sets aside his toys, not because they are not worthy, but because they have outgrown them. As people evolve inward their perspective of this world widens, yet if evolution does not occur inward their perspective stays narrow. And their outward actions will remain an unending cycle looking at the world from only a crack, instead of unlimited doorways.

Answer 7

Where or where are the transistional fossils? Could this be why Gould decided to work on "Punctuated Equilibrium" theory...that it "just happened" really quick?

Theory of evolution still has a lot of unanswered questions, and this is just one. (cabrian explosion of species, finding older species buried higher than younger species, sea life on mountain tops, and more and more)

Answer 8

We have fossils of what appear to be human predecessors by the bucketful.

We are still looking for the original stone tablets with the 10 commandments, the true cross, the ark of the covenant, and jesus' birth certificate. As well as the original hand-written scriptures by the first authors.

Answer 9

Can your bible explain the duck billed platypus?

What the Duece is right and you are wrong there are legless lizards.Get an education.

2telldatruth you wouldn't know the truth if it bit you. Do you even know what a duckbilled platypus is? I recommend that you look it up and stop making a fool of yourself.After reading all of your responses to everyone else I would have to say it doesn't matter because you are a fool.

Answer 10

We have found that the life expectancy in humans has gone way up over the past 10,000 years. Possible evolutionary trait passed on from our ancestors???

Evolution occurs in small ways. It's not lilke there is going to be a half man-half giraffe that existed at one time.

It's small changes over millions, if not billions of years...that have gotten us to where we are.
