Originally posted by Rupert Hey, I'm just a simple minded plumber, I don't need to know all the answers in the universe, just how it was that these "brilliant evolutionary scientists" mistook a lizard for the "Missing Link"? It appears that no one in the evolutionary camp wants to address this? To my way of thinking it rates up there with "Flat World" and "Sun around Earth".......some more of the brilliant work of "Scientists". If scientists spent a little more time in their field of study, and a little less time trying to prove there is no God, they might actually do something like curing cancer.......but heck, what is the importance in that?

Enough with that lizard already. The idea of the "Missing Link" is so two-centuries ago - except in certain popular entertainments. As far as the other stuff, there's hot air coming out of all openings on that one - consider the Christian Church
insisted on Flat Earth and Universe Revolves Around the Earth, to the degree that anyone saying anything different was due for excommunication, imprisionment, torture and death. Bringing these items up like a repeated belch from rancid fat, you are only supporting the positition seemingly opposite of the one you seem to be arguing. Which probably is the case.
As to the idea that 'theory' is at best a 'story' or 'myth', on the level of other stories and myths, there is something to that. For on a metaphysical level, the approach to existence science typically takes is a reductionist-materialist one...
However, I'm continually amazed at how medical science can convince or persuade microbes and cells to agree to follow a mythical theory... when said microbes and antigens and such are only scientific inventions, made up to shore up an arbitrary idea, and one that will no doubt change each week (which probably is more often than you change your underwear...)
... what is the theological reason for cancer, by the way? What does the bible say about it, and about modern medicine in general? Is the bible pro or con the medical insurance reform bill currently being discussed?
