Again, you are confusing the purpose of things with the mechanics of their manifestation. The two are not synonymous. That's what makes this whole controversy so meaningless.

I mean, antibiotics are not mentioned in the Bible, but thank God we've got them.

Comprende?

You can also thank biologist Alexander Fleming while you are at it.

I fully believe that evolution explains how life evolved, after the point at which life began.

Acknowledging that evolution doesn't explain everything doesn't mean you aren't turning your back on science. Its why its a Theory still, but it did, and does happen still.

So, wrong.



This evidences a serious misunderstanding of evolutionary science. No missing link is required. The very idead of a "missing link" makes no sense.

ALL FORMS ARE TRANSITIONAL.

This is a bogus argument against evolution.


I'm not arguing against evolution. I'm just saying that it has holes, and that the holes is where people still hold out hope that it isn't real, and that God exists.

Evolution doesn't explain away God, it just explains how life has progressed, since the beginning of life. How that life began, no one knows.

You seem to think I'm attacking evolution, I'm not, I'm just answering the OP's question, on why there are still questions about it.

I don't know why many fail to agree, but they rather believe in some book written hundreds of years ago. Most scientists have proven Darwinism on so many scales, so why do most humans won't buy it?

Oh heck, I'll take a shot at this one.

I guess it's the principle behind folks being cynical and no-longer trusting what the experts say in way, too many cases and then them being discovered for their errors, lies or revelations of "tampered evidence."

Sorta like the recent revelation of the Climategate emails.

Also like when they find out that often studies have been financed by other than objective sources, like Big Pharma bankrolling a study that supposedly proves that some drug or immunization is safe and doing no harm.

It's having some of the experts now claim that "there are problems" with carbon dating, etc. etc.

This is classic Orwellian double speak. The fossil record PROVES evolution to be a myth. They are still looking for one dingle little link after 200 freakin years of loking for one. Sure they will pull out a fragment of a single bone they have built a complete species around but it's nothing at all but a load of CRAP.
