  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So apparently nobody actually believes in creationism.

Did they discover the missing link?

Two points here:
1) You don't seem to get the joke.
2) Use more precise terms. "Missing link" was used to describe the ancestor bridging humans to all other apes (Which we have). If that's really what you meant then yes. If you're talking about another common ancestor you've not heard about then by all means ask away.

What is the name of this missing link?

You said yourself in a previous post that we had discovered the missing link. Quit avoiding the question and give the name of this missing link.

Yes but there are so many "missing links" (Or common ancestors as known by my people). It's difficult to tell which one you're talking about. The last common ancestor between gorillas and chimpanzees? Between humans and chimps? Humans and gorillas? How about between birds and dinosaurs? Maybe between monkeys and apes?

Got anything other than an "appeal to authority" list and a bunch of copy paste from non science sites?

There is nothing wrong with not believing in evolution. But to present deliberately misrepresented material about evolution or anything for that matter, is nothing short of bearing false witness.

The supporters of the Evolution Theory is the one bearing false witness by claiming that they found scientific proofs of transitions of all biological life forms on earth. I'm just simply exposing their lies for what it is: LIES.

The burden of proof is on the evolutionists; not supporters of creationism.

Yay for strawmen!

Did humans evolve from chimps or gorillas? I see you are still deflecting. You still have not named the missing link.

See, this I can work with. The answer is: Neither. We share a common ancestor with them. Our ancestor with chimp was very likely something close to Ardipithecus ramidus. I couldn't find our last ancestor with gorillas sadly. It seems the acidic rain in their habitat dissolves the bone quite quickly- preventing them from fossilizing.

You said we had discovered the missing link. "Something close to" sounds like nothing more than speculation.

I do not want to see what they consider to be a transition. I want to see thousands of them. There are hundreds of thousands of known fossils from the Cambrian Explosion, but NO transitions. They have not changed from the beginning, when they first show up to the end when they go extinct.

Isa 46 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
