WE ARE FIREPROOF!!! -Pillar
"Missing Link" Still Missing
Imaginations certainly took flight over Archaeoraptor Liaoningensis, a
birdlike fossil with a meat-eater’s tail that was spirited out of
northeastern China, ‘discovered’ at a Tucson, Arizona, gem
and mineral show last year, and displayed at the National Geographic Society
in Washington, D.C. Some 110,000 visitors saw the exhibit, which closed
January 17; millions more read about the find in November’s National
Geographic. Now, paleontologists are eating crow. Instead of ‘a
true missing link’ connecting dinosaurs to birds, the specimen appears
to be a composite, its unusual appendage likely tacked on by a Chinese
farmer, not evolution.
"Archaeoraptor is hardly the first ‘missing link’ to
snap under scrutiny. In 1912, fossil remains of an ancient hominid were
found in England’s Piltdown quarries and quickly dubbed man’s
apelike ancestor. It took decades to reveal the hoax." U.S. News
& World Report, February 14, 2000
"Darwin admitted that millions of ‘missing links,’ transitional
life forms, would have to be discovered in the fossil record to prove
the accuracy of his theory that all species had gradually evolved by chance
mutation into new species. Unfortunately for his theory, despite hundreds
of millions spent on searching for fossils worldwide for more than a century,
the scientists have failed to locate a single missing link out of the
millions that must exist if their theory of evolution is to be vindicated."
Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God
"There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should
be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead.
No paleontologist . . . denies that this is so. It is simply a fact. Darwin’s
theory and the fossil record are in conflict." David Berlinsky
"Scientists concede that their most cherished theories are based
on embarrassingly few fossil fragments and that huge gaps exist in the
fossil record." Time magazine, Nov. 7, 1977
"The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link
except the fact that it is missing." G. K. Chesterton
