The popular press is still doing that because the scientific community is still doing that. It IS a link, and it WAS missing until it wasn't.
How dumb are you willing to play this before you admit your post lumping it with Piltdown Man was false and needs to be retracted and never used again?
You see, science makes progress by divorcing itself from fraud and error when such are uncovered. Creation/ID doesn't make progress and doesn't let go of useful lies.
Patrick Henry has inspired me with his clever chart entitled "Evolution Troll's Toolkit." His wit is devastatingly sharp.
Mine is no chart, as I am computer-impaired, but just a simple list. These words were used to describe me on the last 200 posts:
