It is a fact that life changes over time.


adaptation =/= evolution on a macro scale.

so because we have found skeletons from primates ranging from a->h and j->z evolution must be wrong because we havnt found skeleton i yet?


even if your premise were true, which it isnt, until you have skeleton i you cant prove with certainty that z came from a.

i read it, and its the most convoluted piece of crap that says absolutely nothing. first it says theres no such thing as a missing link, then it says its been found, then it says theres still holes. is there or isnt there? has it been found or hasnt it?

Every discovery of a missing link creates 2 more missing links or holes, one on each side of the newly discovered link!

Futurama explained it rather well:

Clearly you have no idea how science works. Evolution seems to work in most cases, it would appear to be the most reasonable explanation for a-z all being slightly different from the previous even if there's a few missing letters. If you have a better solution that explains why there are missing letters or why a and z are similar but aren't related then great, write a paper on it, science likes new ideas.

You can't just say "hey, there's one little detail your theory doesn't 100% explain you should just throw out the whole thing instead of trying to improve it."

On that note I can't believe i bothered to post in this god awful thread I need to go to bed.
