Have you guys heard about the fossil that was found that may be the so called "missing link in the evolution chain. I read about it and found it very interesting myself. I am not sure how we became what we are today but I listen from both side the religion and the scientific point of views. If you want to read about it and see a pic here is the link http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/may/19/ida-fossil-missing-link not a referral link . What do you think about Human evolution?

sxrxnrr! - evolution asserts that the first speck of life on earth arose by itself from inanimate matter. all matter on earth is composed of basic chemical elements. an element is a substance made up of entirely of atoms of one single kind, and cannot be simplified or decomposed by ordinary chemical means. is there any trend toward evolution among the elements on earth? no, for atoms are generally found to be either stable or, in the case of some, in a decaying trend untill they turn into an element that is stable.

I just saw in the news that this fossil has nothing to do with human beings. So some of the scientists or all have changed their mind.. There is so much wisdom in the design of both humans and animals, that we can - by studying it - find proof that everything was created. Here is a great article about the miracles we find in the nature: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20000122/article_02.htm Lots of innovation in the modern world are copying what we find in the nature - and many things in the nature are so complicated that it has been impossible for us to copy them. So how would they just appear without a designer??

Sure is interesting but this can be a fossil of any animal that existed long before. Scientists just assumed it was a transitional fossil. In my opinion, well I don't want to insist whether it's transitional or not. I guess I'll keep an open mind. On the otherhand, I'll be more impressed if they find ALL transitional fossils of all species of animals. Example is what scientists believed, the transition between elephants and whales. That would be more interesting than this latest discovery.
