missing link?

ok ive heard that there is a missing link between man and primates. that got me to thinking.....

if man evolved from slime in a pond, theres more than one missing link. in fact, it seems like there would be steps in between slime and the finished product for every thing that evolved.

where are the in between steps for fish? what about dogs? cats? possums? birds? duck billed platy pusses? elephants?

the bottom line is whouldnt every animal have some fossil evidence of in between steps? weve dug up dinosaur bones that are supposed to be millions of years old, but no one has ever found bones from a halfway evolved skunk?....what gives?

    It's great what you wrote here. No missing links have, or will ever be found. God says that each kind of animal will reproduce after it's kind. There will never be any missing links found, even though there should be tens of thousand found all over the world if evolution was true.

    There is truth in creation and there is truth in evolution. Neither theory is absolutely true or absolutely false. Why must it be an all or nothing issue? There are problems in both theories, and that is because believers in each think that they have to be 100% right and the others have to be 100% wrong, when the truth is that parts of each are correct and parts of each are false.

    No, you're incorrect. a scientific theory could desire to be testable and disprovable. Creationism is neither, so it is not a theory. Evolution is in accordance with shown information, even with the undeniable fact that if new information got here to mild conflicting with it, then Evolution could no longer be sensible. when you consider that Darwin proposed his theory in 1859, advances in genetics, zoology and paleantology have reinforced evolutionary theory. over the final 148 years, thousands and thousands of fossils have been discovered, alongside with 1000's of fossils of hominids and early people. Genetic discoveries have shown that people share practically ninety 9% of their genes with different primate species, construction the case for our origins. .

    Do you really want to know the answer, or are you just looking for other creationists to confirm your preconceptions? If you are serious, please take a little time to browse this wonderful website for the Tree of Life project:

    And every time a creationist gives you a reason why Evolution must be false, you should look here:

    We have dug up many "links" but fossils are hard to come by, we are missing quite a few.

    I believe in micro evolution minor changes of species; but not macro evolution one species mutating into another species.

    It is not easy for animal remains to become fossilized. Thus, we have fossil evidence of relatively few species. However, there are some examples of "link" animals. I have some articles on them from the Scientific American.

    Enough of the gaps have been closed to prove evolution. Just because we want something to be true doesn't make it so.

    Though your point is 100% correct, and there are 1000 other flaws in evolution - as long as they cling to it they don't have to believe that there is anyone greater than themselves.

    Just one of the many problems with the evolution hypothesis. And atheists say we Christians believe in fairy tales...............
