I'll simplify, with less biology for non-science folk?

Question

Why do creationists search for a missing link to humans and not other species? Furthermore, what do they think it would look link when we found the remains (if ever)?

Answer 1

Thank you for making it so simple.  Just after Charles Darwin wrote his famous book, man examined himself and decided that there were 280 different parts that were left overs from other animals as we have evolved and that these parts were not needed any more.

Today, we know what each and every part does and why.  They were wrong because they simply did not have the information, yet.  Knowledge changes in science, but truth does not.  The Bible says that there is life in the blood (Leviticus 17) but man thought that he should bleed out "bad blood".  Isaiah 40 tells us that the earth is suspended by nothing and the north is empty.  But it wasn't until recent times that we knew both of these.  

Truth is always there.  Even if we don't know it.  The Bible has never been disproven even though it has been tried down through the ages.  It is always victorious as knowledge catches up with the truth of an all knowing God.  

So, creationist or not?  I would be a fool to not believe a God who knows all and trust in my own small mind or yours for that matter.  Let me ask you one last question.  Why is a week seven days long?

Answer:  Because He created the earth in six days and on the seventh He rested.

Answer 2

I think they are looking for that "transitional" lifeforms, like a fish with legs when if fact we are all transitional lifeforms.

Ask a creationist to read up about the raptor fossils found with feathers. Supporting the idea that the birds are direct ancestors of the dinosaurs.

Answer 3

There are hundreds of transitional fossils

Creationists just refuse to accept them as fact

They are looking for something, but when they find it, they want something else. No wonder they fail!

Answer 4

creationists seem to imagine some sort of magical chimera of two distinct species, and of course never find such a thing. if creationists were actually interested in research for its own sake, this field would be something other than a joke:

the whole and entire reason for the "controversy" is that it goes against their concept of human ancestry.

Answer 5

because theyre arrogant and dont actually care for anyone but themselves.

Answer 6

Oh, but they do.

For years they said "show us the link between land mammals and whales".  What do you know, we found it...http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CC/CC...

For years they said "show us the link between the aquatic amphibians and terrestrial mammals".  What do you know, we found it...http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CC/CC...  and  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiktaalik

That's it, that's all.

Youtube search "foundational falsehood of creationism". That will explain quite a few things.

All creationists should watch those.

Answer 8

go to www.icr.org and as far as the biology goes. for evolution to be true life must had emerged from NON-LIVING material. sorry evolution is a fairy tale.
