"Ludicrous? Ignorant? Personal insults will get you nothing but disrespect.

As will suggesting you actually try to understand the scientific evidence, or most anything else I might say, apparently.

"Holy Grail" for evolutionists. You know... the "missing link."

Science does not pin it's hopes for evolutionary theory on "missing links". The fossil evidence is pursuasive because of the massively correlated morphological, micro-biological, and geographic continuity between the species that are examinable. In like manner, we trust in our theories of universal gravitation, even though we have absolutely no observed phenomenon to look at in the vast regions of intergalactic space. your problem is with inductive reasoning, and the vastly simplified comic book version you have in your head of what science actually says.

It simply doesn't exist, yet it should... based on the most basic evolutionary assumptions.

Even this overly simplistic analysis is not in sync with the actual evidence; you are massively ignorant of the real state of affairs here. "Missing Links" are particularly plentiful for our ancestors, since we are recent, and inherently interesting to us.

And I repeat... this is a major problem for the theory of evolution. Surely you can't deny that evolution is still just a "theory" as is I.D.

Indeed, it is "still just a theory", as is every other natural science theory. such as plate tectonics and gravity.

If you do, that will only prove you to be the "ignorant" one in this debate.

It's not that you're right. It's not that you're wrong. It's that you don't have the tools to engage in this debate.

Cut your elitist crap. If you are too "educated" to comprehend the problem that a lack of fossil evidence creates for the evolutionary theory, then you are simply a highly educated fool.

Please explain to me and the rest of the uneducated fools who inhabit this country why fossil evidence exists at both the beginning of, and the end of the evolutionary chain, yet "NOTHING" exists in the middle. You can't explain it. As the top scientists of our times have also failed to do so. Keep drinking that koolaid sport...
