    Dawkins says you evolved from an imaginary and apparently invisible
    ape, since there is no fossil record to prove it ever existed.

    records to prove any ideas even. This is more evolutionary bull crap.
    I though scientist needed hard evidence, not just speculations.
    Are you normally this thickheaded? The science of archaeology is based on evidence for sure.

    When they say 'possible' it is because the fossil record is very hard to come by and what knowledge we have of the past is very hard won I can assure you. So to say science is just guesswork is belittling the efforts of over 100 years of solid research.

    Every week new fossils are dug up. You do realize the earth shakes, volcano's cover older layers and continents move don't you?

    For instance, the entire island of Hawaii is practically brand new from a geological perspective, formed by a moving upwelling of magma that shoots off as a volcano every few million years but it covers a track from the south to the north so the youngest islands are in the north and the southern end of Hawaii have inactive volcano's. So think what that system of events can do to a fossil record.

    That means we have to find places that are stable enough that fossils don't get totally destroyed by the forces of nature.

    99.999 % of all fossils are destroyed by many separate effects like the one I showed you.

    Therefore the fossil record is very thin versus how many life forms have been alive in the past.

    So we are left with an incomplete record at best and have to work with what we have.

    That is life in the big city, we have to live with it.

    We have been through this before. No scientist (as far as I am aware) has ever said we evolved from apes.

    But evolutionists get artists to draw out their theories in pictoral form. And what we see as a near ancestor to humans USUALLY LOOKS LIKE AN APE.

    Maybe Evolution is really a movememt among imaginative artists.[/b]

    I am not trying to belittle them. All I'm saying is wait until you got
    the solid evidence before you declare something like this fact. You
    need to take your smart pill.

    There already is evidence. Do you think Neantertals are just a big lie?

    The scientist haven't figured this all out yet; it is still in the hypotheses
    stage.

    Evolution is not in the hypothesis stage.

    I can explain why not if you like?

    wow, this is epic desperateness. out of all of dawkin's life's work, all you can dig up is an 11 second edited video from a creationist propaganda channel?

    i think you were better off with "Do you really think I want to listen to this liar?"

    No.

    Except for when he would not answer the question and
    started talking about how we were not descendants of apes.

    i see. so you would prefer to continue getting your information from creationist propaganda sites rather than the sources. all fair and good. keep up the good work.

    You don't want to listen to him, yet still willing to quote mine him out of context?

    That make sense.
