"The entire fossil record supports the theory of evolution."

No it doesn't, if it did there would be the quoted Missing Link, and that doesn't exist.

Nice try, but the facts remain unchanged.

There is no link anywhere in the fossil record, now, or in the past that links man with apes or vice versa.

Until there is Evolution is a Theory and nothing more.

Once Evolution can be proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt then I will concede your point. Until then it's just noise.

You sure read those links quickly. Best not read them actually, you don't want to confuse yourself with genuine understanding of the issues.

There will always be missing links. It works this way, there are 2 fossils A and B. When we find a link between them (C) we now have two missing links where we had one before; between A and C, and C and B. If you want to have a sample of every generation for the last 3 billion years before you'll accept evolution then you are just setting the bar at an impossible level.

Prosecutors would love you. A great OJ juror. First refuse to look at evidence, then deny what is in front of you.

What "more" would it be? Do you know what "theory" means in the context of science?

Nothing in science is ever "proven beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt". As usual, a creationist uses his lack of understanding of the scientific method as an argument against the validity of evolution.

Why would you think that there would be a single "missing link", rather than a whole chain of species that start out ape-like and through small incremental changes, which would be waved away as microevolution, proceed to form a species which is human-like. This whole notion of a missing link is nothing more than a creationist attempt to deny evolution by promoting an intentional misunderstanding of what evolution says.
