The Real Missing Link: God

To the Editor,

In the latest act of media hyped pseudo-science the discovery of the crushed and flattened fossil of a lemur/monkey is being touted as the needed “proof” of Darwinian theory.

As a Creationist, I hail the discovery as well! For the first time, all scientists interviewed freely admit that the theory of evolution has gaping holes in it. They just claim that all of the answers lie in the packaged, crush fossil that spent the last 20 years hanging on someone’s wall. In other words, they admit that until yesterday, anyone who claimed that there was anything close to conclusive proof of evolution was wrong, despite having sold that baloney for decades.

Where is the transitional fossil link from this lemur to a tailless ape? Hanging on someone else's wall in New York? There is not one missing link. There are millions of missing links. So many missing links, that a leading evolutionist had to invent the theory of "Punctuated Equilibrium" Essentially, the theory of Punctuated Equilibrium provides paleontologists with an explanation for the patterns which they find in the fossil record. This pattern includes the characteristically abrupt appearance of new species: one day a dog gave birth to a litter of kittens. And, that is how we got cats.

As a monkey's uncle, I called my nephew and asked him what he thought about Le Murkey--the missing link?. He wisely asked, "If we evolved form apes and monkeys--why do we still have apes and monkeys?"

The truth is that God created everything. (Genesis 1) God is the missing link in the evolutionist's scheme.

When I looked at the picture of this lemur like fossil, I could not help but do a double take. He looks just like my great uncle Louie.

Eerie.

Yes, and it might be your great uncle- several times removed.

Now TH, iffen you youse wanna preach your religious beliefs, …. I no longer mind and thus the reason I quit funnin and arguing with you about it. But now youse went on an attack of the science of paleontology for no other reason than to justify your silly unsupported beliefs of supernatural thingys and to reinforce those silly beliefs in others of the same mindset. So, after deliberating on the matter I feel compelled to reply your following commentary in that it is a direct assault on me in particular and science in general.

TH, in essence every living organism that has ever lived was/is a potential “transitional fossil link” in the making. But only a relative few of the untold trillions of said organisms ended up in a locale that was conducive to their fossilization. Thus, any of said that became fossilized is in FACT a “transitional fossil link”.

Well now TH, that statement was half-assed correct. But you intended it to be that way, …. right. TH, if you had been honest then you wouldn’t have deviously worded that 2nd sentence they way you did. If you “practiced what your religion preaches” then the above sentence would have stated, to wit: “the theory of Punctuated Equilibrium provides the non-paleontologists with an explanation for the patterns which are found in the fossil record”.

The sole reason a paleontologists would have use for said "Punctuated Equilibrium" is to counter the piffle and dribble being voiced by Bible believing creationists such as your self.

TH, there is no such thing as an “abrupt appearance” of a new species of plant or animal, … or, as a matter of fact, a new individual of either. GEEEZE, even you TH, took nigh onto 9 months from your conception until you made an appearance.

And TH, when you start saying things such as “a dog begat a litter of cats” …. then it is quite evident that your religious beliefs have done began rottening your mind. As my sister-in-law said: There were far more people committed to the old Weston State Hospital because of their actions directly attributed to their religious beliefs …….. than for all the other reason combined.

TH, as you know, one can attract more flies with honey than they can with vinegar. Thus, it may prove to be beneficial to a Preacher such as yourself ….. to refrain from scaring the Hell out of people in an attempt to garner more believers in your ideology. As you should know, ….. “fear” only works if you have “force” to back it up.

How exactly does this fossil close a particular gap?

How does this fossil close a gap? Because, they want it to. They have already made a conclusion--now, they just make the evidence prove their conclusion.

Because evolutionary theory stated there should be such an organism in the fossil record. Lo and behold, it was an accurate prediction. When has creationism or ID made any similar prediction?

You true believers will NEVER be satisfied with ANY amount of evidence

TerryRC,

What prediction did this prove?

I asked a question that was hoping for an answer. Your assumption of my ill will is unfounded.

So, pretty please with sugar on top, what was the gap that this fossil has filled?

here ya go Michael.

Ida was preserved in Germany’s Messel Pit, a mile-wide crater containing oil-rich shale that is a significant site for fossils of the Eocene Epoch. Opposable big toes and nail-bearing tips on the fingers and toes confirm that the fossil is a primate, and a foot bone called the talus bone links Ida directly to humans, Hurum said.

So the talus bone is evident in humans but not in apes?
