Actually when you are speaking of fossilization you will find that it is very rare..... bones need a precise setting to become fossilized.... most of the time these conditions are not met..... it is a rare occurence and a great one to find fossilized bones.... it has been theorized that more than likely any bones from that period in time have been turned to dust and shall never be found.... here I will list a better argument.....

Lack of transitional fossils

**If evolution were true, there would be transitional fossils, but there are none, therefore evolution did not occur. **
Above would be TheLights fragile argument.... below is the answer.....

Fossilization is an extremely rare process. Virtually all of the bones that have ever existed have turned to dust. Many transitional fossils have however been found, including many human ancestors at different stages spanning the last 4 millions years.

Eusthenopteron shows a marvelous intermediate characteristics between lobe-finned fishes and amphibians. The transitional fossils between amphibians and reptiles are so various and intermediate that it is difficult to define where one group ends and another begins.

Archaeopteryx is clearly intermediate between reptiles and birds.

Any other questions thelight???

I have many answers.....

Below is a link to a page with the fossils we have so far gathered to prove the evolution of man.....

Notice Light does not answer my questions or respond to my comments. He doesn't even have the decency to lie to me and tell me he will read something about evolution. When I ask what his question has to do with anything, he responds with another question. My guess is his next question will be: If scientists know everything why is their still science?

If your guess is correct.... I have an answer for that too... that one is a simple one.....

Ha. Scientists obviously don't know everything.

Exactly!

You have more faith in evolution than scientists.

What?

you do not need faith to understand evolution..... nor for that matter scientists..... they work off of factual evidence rather than whimsies of imagination..... you have yet to make any coherant argument..... your debating skills are dubious to nonexistant at best.....

Oh I agree with you, that you dont need faith to understand evolution. I know how evolution works.

But you do need faith to believe its true.

Nope.... not at all... see once again you attempt to misdirect the argument..... there is no faith involved.... I know for a fact that evolution works..... it has been scientifically proven to be so.... it is Empirical Knowledge..... i do not expect you to know what that means though.... go grab a dictionary real quick and look it up... you might learn something.....

Arguing with Light is losing its humor. There are only so many times we can collectively tell him to go read a book and learn something before it becomes monotonous and his stupidity just isn't as hilareous, just sad.

Oh.. it has been sad from the beginning.... to see the lack of any education besides that which comprises his faith.... he is exactly what they wanted all of society to be like in the middle ages.... uneducated and bowing to the words of an imperfect book.....

Yeah, but it was still funny to laugh at him.

TheLight,You’re on the Internet, pal. There is more information about the contemporaty scientific cosmology here than you will be able to read in a lifetime. Go educate yourself. Don’t be lazy. Even according to your “holy” book, laziness is not a virtue. Neither is ignorance, if I might add.Two objections:

1. Which god? Your god? Prove it.
2. “[M]ost”? Prove it. Show me reliable statistics.

Which missing link? Also, why would they? Punctuated Equillibrium Theory took care of the missing links a long time ago. Have you been living under a rock on which Peter built his church all this time?Wrong. Evolution (both Macro- and Micro-) has been repeatedly observed. Get your facts straight before spewing your ignorant drivel at us.

I am in the Dawkins school of thought about punctuated equilibrium, but we can discuss that in another thread.

Are you saying that we were created in his image, then evolved beyond his plans? Or that he 'ooppsed' and skipped a stage in our evelution?
I'm just curious since your question posed the theory that you believe the evolution theory to some degree..

Evolution is viable; though as you shall soon see Man will be able to recreate the same tactics. In essence becoming Gods. By creating life through cloning, microbiology, and nanotechnology.

The problem I have with evolution is that it leaves everything to chance.
We created ourselves so to speak.

I believe that God created Adam. Adam was made perfect, he was never meant to die.
When Adam sinned, he sent a negotive spiral down the gene pool.
If two dobbermans mate then you have a strong dog, but if you take one and mix it with a poodle then it weakens the gene pool in that line.

I believe that if parents make children, and dont believe or fear God, then they are setting them up for all kinds of problems.
They will instill lies into them and cause them to stumble, then if they have children it will just grow worse.

If I mate with a crack ho, we will make little crack babys with bad genes.
That is an extreme example, but I believe this happens on much smaller scales all of the time.

You just displayed your belief in evolution.
