charlestonchad Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 So I was reading up on the fossil record today of human evolution and it really made me wonder; what do the people saying we don't have a missing link need to see before they believe the fossil record is complete? We have fossils, skulls specifically, that document the change from an apelike ancestor to ##### sapiens. I really don't see where a missing link would fit in, since the change is pretty well documented in height, weight, shape, posture, walking styles, jaw/teeth structure, and brain size.

Headshot Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 There will always be a "missing link" when it comes to evolution. Much like there will always be a "missing link" in Christianity or any other religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because nothing else needed to be written.and 2. Miracles do occur all the time, those who don't recognize it or acknowledge it simply pass it off as "coincidence" or "luck"...

Do you think it's because God didn't talk about it in the bible, or because we don't have the missing link, or because it's not a logical explanation, or some other reason?

Sounds more like the behavior of a bunch of people hallucinating. A single mother working 2 jobs and still has time to take her kids to soccer practice, THATS a miracle.

I cannot, however, totally dismiss evolution either since I try to keep an open mind about everything and not totally shut my mind to things.
