No missing link ever found

What could be more clear than the similarities already present? You seem to think it's easy to find fossils, it's not. Finding fossils is as much luck as anything else.
The fact is, we have a established trend of over time early apes becoming more and more humanoid. There are gaps, sure. But as of this time I am not aware of any species with a complete evolutionary tree. Doesn't mean evolution didn't happen, means either we haven't dug enough, or the fossils may not exist.
Keep in mind the time scale, not just thousands but millions of years. Most bones don't get fossilized, it's a percentage. Probably a small percentage.

You also fail to recognise the theory surrounding Erectus. Erectus was around for well over a million years and there are no transitional species between Homo Erectus and Homo Sapian. Between 500,000 and 250,000 years ago, Homo Erectus evolved into Homo Sapiens. Transitional forms between Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens are referred to as archaic Homo Sapiens.

Here's the wikipedia page on them.

Now if you think that there is too much variance between this and this and are therefore not related then you should think about the variance between this and this. These dogs have more variance than modern man, cro magnon man and H, Erectus ever did!

Hollywood..another great thread..I flagged it as I flagged your migration thread.www.abovetopsecret.com...

Great info.....

The bottom line is this, there have been many, many, apes on this planet at different times, but only one human race.

That doesn't mean jack. That's no different to saying "there's been many cat's in the world but only 1 species of Caracal Cat".

I really fail to see how a missing link is better proof that evolution is crap than the opposing evidence of.....?

Where is the evidence for any alternative theory? Any evidence that is even remotely as complete as that for evolution?

I hope that this is not true. If human beings are "the most perfect form" in the entire universe, then God must have done a supremely crappy job on the whole rest of the universe.

Physically and mentally, human beings are far from perfect. At least I know I am.

No, that is just a fact. It doesn't mean squat in this sense. Please, for the love of learn about evolution before trying to make fun of it. Clearly you have a lot left to learn. I shudder to think of the science education you received.

Please explain all the common diseases we get, the mental illnesses, the ease that most animals on this planet can easily kill us, etc.

We are far from perfect. We are a hodge-podge of good ideas and less-bad ideas that together form a functioning organism. If your God designed us, he must have been drunk off his ass.

annnnnnnnnnny alternate theory. Creationsists, I am looking at you first... Anyone that has any evidence of an alternate theory that is even remotely as complete as the evidence for evolution. YOO HOO. I know you are out there denying it, so what is the real story and what did you base that on?

So it's time to ask "Why Creation?"

Sorry bout the plug.

Perfection in the sense of Yin and Yang, the 5 elements, and the 8 trigrams embodied perfectly in a physical form. Perect in the sense that humans can have NDE's and achieve enlightenment where animals cannot.

Perfection does not mean you are some sort of super predator like from the movie Predator or that no animals could kill us.

Animals are definitely smarter than humans in some ways, how they move, how they cultivate energy, their feircness, etc.

Humans are animals and only human arrogance says we can achieve enlightenment whereas they cannot. Indeed there is as much evidence to say that humans are the only species which cannot acheive enlightenment

Humans are more superior when it comes to causing pain and suffering of other humans. They are vastly superior at destroying their environment and sh*tting in their own beds. They also enjoy killing for the sake of killing and take pleasure from torturing other lifeforms. They also think they are better than anything else.

chirp....chirp.....chirp.....chirp.....

It is amazing how voracious an argument these anti-evolutionists can put forth until they are asked to lay their own cards on the table.

What do you wanna know exactly?

I've made many threads about various aspects of history, not just evolution threads.

Yea and they are full of rhetoric like

The bottom line is this, there have been many, many, apes on this planet at different times, but only one human race.

and

A Human being is not only the most perfect form on this planet, but in the entire universe. It is unlikely even aliens are as perfectly balanced as a 5 pointed star. Humans also are the most complex and condensed grouping of forces and energies as well. Perhaps one day we will become a 6 pointed star, but this is not evolution in the way scientists concieve.

This is nothing but blind speculation that serves purely to make attacks on science.

What I've noticed is the threads you post are your threads. By which I mean they back your point of view.
I noticed folks agree with, fine and dandy.
You claim esoteric knowledge of a place described by Plato, and another place created due to a poor understanding of plate tectonics at the time.
Then you claim any evidence to the contrary is false, untrue, or not relevant.
As such, it's pretty hard to take you seriously.
so, start with the beginning. Don't link a thread, and show us exactly what you are claiming and why we should believe you.

Aaaah. I see. I didn't know we could just make stuff up in discussions and expect to be taken seriously. There I was, thinking we had to stick to observable facts.

My bad.

If someone made a car as flawed as your average human, they would have been sued out of existence a loooong time ago.

I'm the last person to ever make anything up on here. I have provided so many threads loaded with evidence, sources, and proof of everything i say.
