...with no fossil as to the missing link between that acclaimed relationship. [spoiler]An ape is an ape, a monkey is a monkey, a chimp is a chimp, and a human is a human, yet only humans are intelligent.[/spoiler]

Edited by Onxide: 5/1/2015 10:19:41 PMSo you're saying apes, chimps, and monkeys [i]aren't[/i] intelligent?
-
They're equally intelligent, not as intelligent as humans.
-
Primates are highly intelligent creatures... I wouldn't underestimate them lol
-
Not as intelligent as humans.

Edited by Onxide: 5/2/2015 3:27:06 PMBut they do deserve just as much respect as any other living organism on this planet.

True. Your point?
-
That was my point lol
-
What would qualify as a missing link to you?
-
One inside the fossil record?

I ask because there are multiple fossils detailing different stages of human development, and asking for a "missing link" can vary by definition, sometimes asking for something completely unnecessary, and lead to something like: Where's missing link(X) between W and Y? Right here. Where's the missing link between W and X? Here. Where's the missing link between W and... Etc.

[quote]...can vary by definition.[/quote]Case closed.

What you are asking for and what we have can vary by definition. Idk what you're closing.

He wants all the millions of individuals fossilized and displayed highlighting each microscopic change that adds up to the whole change.

Chimps are pretty intelligent. They can communicate, they use tools to get their food. We have found the fossils actually. Also its in the DNA, specifically Chromosome 2 in the human genome.

...and only that?

I see your problem. You need every little detailed piece of info in order to call something 'proof' I think Creationists like to always discredit scientists by saying shit like, "SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE!", and we have, but then you go back to saying, "SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE!". What more do you want? We show you evidence, proof even, and yet despite all that you insist that we are still wrong because there is no evidence or proof. You creationists are running out of arguments, that is what's going on. A couple hundred years ago, you used to think the earth was flat, and that epileptic seizures were possession. We HAVE observed evolution on a day to day basis, and are continuing to observe it, in fruit flies and bacteria. You don't seem to really understand evolution, and yet you make these big o'l claims about it. Then when someone tries to educate you about it, you simply say they're wrong because it goes against what you say. And what you say is 'obviously' the truth.

What else do you need? That literally proves we share a common ancestor.
-
I can also prove we're related to chickens.

If we came from a monkey please come find me, and take me to him so he can tell us about his wonderful life and how he really is your cousin... No.. We did not come from a monkey, or they would be the same as us, I agree with what this man said, we are 100% made from God, not a hairy animal..
-
Well you obviously know nothing about what you are talking about.
-
Coming from the guy named lost logic. That's a funny one!
-
He lost his logic, or he has lost logic. Either way...[spoiler]...don't trust him. *I whisper quietly*[/spoiler]

That's all you have to say, well.... To try and argue about where we came from I thought you would say something simple and small... Go on ahead, tell me "we came from monkeys!" Well where did the monkeys come from? "From a meteor, etc!" Where did they come from? "The Big Bang!" How would it or could of it even happened without God creating it? God created everything... Exactly what that bible says "in the beginning God created the heavens and earth"
