| Ruiner. These scientist, missing links, and other problems you mentioned are probably well documented in religious communities' writtings but not among the rest of us. The problem of the "missing link," has not been discussed in the non-religious scientific community for about thirty years. It was and is a non issue in the theory of evolution.
Personally, I outgrew the need of an organized religion many years ago. I do still know many christians and many who believe in evolution. The two, evolution and religion, are not exclusive beliefs. These christians, and I when I was younger, simply view evolution and the mechanism which god used to create life and the universe. Have you ever heard of the primal cause. Since every effect has a cause, the universe, via the big bang, must have been caused by something. This something, primal cause, is god. God, established all the laws of the universe and then, bang, started the whole thing. As established back in the 1950s, if you add all the ingredients for life and add energy, life will spontaneously happen. Life springs up all over the place on its own. IF you don't believe me don't clean your toilet bowl for a few days and see what happens.
Back in College in the late 1980s, a christian activist once handed me a brouchere decrying evolution as incorrect. The young man started telling me about the missing link and other reasons why the theory of evolution was wrong. I began looking at his pamphlet and noticed it was dated 1960. After pointing out that there was a bit of scientific discovery in the last 30 years, the young man decided he neede to fall back and regroup. Maybe you should also do a bit more homework. |
