Science has attempted to build a trail from the first life form to modern man through a mysterious process over millions of years. That's problematic to me.

Yet what is "problematic" for you is also an applied science. Odd, that.

Maybe if the cloistered intellectuals would come down from their ivory towers and rubbed elbows with the great unwashed things would change.

That's what public education is all for, yet creationists have been fighting that.

We need to teach some living principles to these kids to help ensure their success. Sadly such teaching is anathema to the secular system.

Too many links missing in the evolutionary chain.

Assuming you mean fossils, not really, no. "Missing links" has never been a real issue for evolutionary biology. That's just a creationist invention.

I didn't mean fossils. I was referring to changes at the atomic level. Buried deep in those blackboard size equations are, dare I say it...miracles?

Are you taking about genetic changes? (It which case those aren't at the atomic level.)

And no, no miracles required. Just biological processes that we readily observe.

I'm talking about the changes that aren't readily observed.

I can link to the posts where you yourself confess to be a troll so no need for that.

But it didn't meet the standards of the forums for trolling or I would have been called on it. And I qualified it as being a provocation for deeper discussion (actually bordering on 'whataboutism').

I can only judge you by your posts and I stand by my comment.

You're not making any sense.

For evolution to happen tissues must first change at the molecular level.
