The Guys from Mythbusters say they can bust it. What do you say to that?

Watch from 18:15 in to the end. I think that should sufficiently cover what I wanted to share

My biggest question is for both sides. Where did your atoms or God come from, what created him?
Christians would answer: Never beginning, and never ending is too much for the human mind to comprihend.
Evolutionaists could sing by the same toon.

Evolution has nothing at all to do with how the Universe came into being, nor how life itself started, you're just showing your ignorance.

while avorne is right, without atoms there wouldnt be evolution, btw there is a way to scientificly explain atoms, its called string theory, look it up, u might not understand it though, its pretty complex

Atoms are a basic unit of matter, so they would have come onto the scene as a result of the universe cooling. As for God, we made him up.

Well, where did you universe come from? And how exactly did we make something we don't understand up?

Could you repeat that but make sense next time?

I think that's referencing the 'mystery of God' that the early Catholic Church invented when they couldn't explain things.

Okay in that case here is the Q Continuum. This is a place we can't understand and can only perceive in the form of a representation. The Continuum is something we completely made up.

The Q themselves are also beings beyond our full understanding, also beings we made up.

No, scientists have never found the missing link so no evolution is a myth

Evolution can be directly observed in bacteria cultures so no, it definitely is not a myth; we wouldn't even need fossils to back it up. Secondly, absence of evidence is no evidence of absence in paleontology, so even if we wouldn't have found any missing link, that would not exclude the possibility. Third, the whole concept of 'missing link' is delicate because every organism at every stage was fully adapted to it's environment, there was no 'mixed transition stage' like many imagine it.

Lastly: at least one 'missing link' has already been found

What missing link? In fact with human evolution alone the problem we have isn't a lack of evidence in the fossil record, but so many there is debate on whether their all from different species or just mild modified verities. And that's not even getting into the millions of fossils discovered since Darwins time for other branches in the phylogenetic tree of life. All of them being transitional forms.

Also here's another "missing link".

Sorry for the double.

Further more even if we got rid of all the fossil evidence we can still have sufficient evidence for evolution, we can observe this in our own genetics.
Facts Of Evolution: Retroviruses And Pseudogenes

We have also observed evolution occur. So evolution isn't just a theory but a fact.

just out of curiousity, MGW, i thought that autralopithecus aferensis
lived in australia and has no connection with homosapiens, they died out in australia be4 they moved out of it, but i might be thinking about sumthing else

I think you your thinking of another one, Australopithecus africanus has only been found in Africa.
