Further, Iona, regarding 'missing links'...it is the case that not ALL the minute changes in the evolutionary record were conveniently preserved in some stream, landslide, tar pit, lake bottom...etc. Of course we don't have examples from all the millions of generations, laid out in order so we can study the tiny variations! If we did, there would not be enough museums in the world to display & study them.

But.... in a building at the Univ. of Kansas there ARE thousands of generations of mouse skins, all carefully documented and labeled as to geneology...with some very interesting variations, even in a study of only a few decades.

When you assert that the "is no evidence" for evolution, YOU are showing a very limited, shallow understanding of both the concept of evolution and the parameters of what actually counts as evidence.

When you begin with a personal view, usually shaped by a set of religious convictions, that **THIS** is how it works, you must then do some awkward mental reasoning to make all of science & all other reasoning fit into your pre-digested scheme.

Read about Galileo, Copernicus and the Catholic church and see how s-l-o-w-l-y we came around to simply admitting that the Sun does NOT go around the Earth...which is not flat.
