Yes, old fossils of apes exist, and yes, older forms of what looks to be man (but is it really?) exist, but where is the link? I feel certain that if the link existed it would be shouted from the rooftops - but maybe they haven’t been “found” yet...

I showed you an example of a transitional fossil ("missing link" is a newspaper term, not a scientific term). There has been a lot of argument as how to classify this specimen precisely because it has earlier (more ape-like) and later (more human-like) traits. Even creationists can't agree where to classify this, with some holding for ape and others for human. That's part of what makes this such a good example of a transitional!

And please tell me you are not bringing up the 2nd law of thermodynamics to claim that evolution is not possible. Please!

Well... evolution cannot be proven scientifically, but the law of thermodynamics has been accepted (to my knowledge) as scientific. You decide. Which is more likely? Admittedly, there are those “theistic evolutionists” who would claim that God intervened along the way, but there is no proof for that either. My original point was - and still is - that it takes as much faith (if not more!) to accept evolution than to accept any other origin of man explanation. Why, then, should evolution alone rule the classroom and get the only hearing - much less why should it be tagged as “science”??
