Ok, so how did the chicken get there in the first place? G-d place it there or what?

Secondly, I disagree with any idea of evolution. If evolution exists, show me the "missing link" between dinos, and birds, or monkeys and humans.


friendly reminder from mod: if you want to debate more evolution vs. creation ideals, head over to the evolution thread for more fun! heh Anyway, i don't even need to go into how many "missing links" creation has but for one question only: what is the creationist connection between these?...but to answer your statement there is no one missing link, but rather many missing links that span about 5-7 millions years. You must realize the succession of the planet has caused us great difficulty in obtaining such fossils (i.e. where there is ocean now there may have been lucious forests with dinosaurs...thus prohibiting us from getting fossils). So, a word to the wise, just because we haven't everything about evolution yet in the fossil record really doesn't take THAT much away from the theory becuase the evidence we have collected so far pretty much lines up with the theory so far. Plus, evolution occurs today that is a working example of it and how is that so much more less likely to be credible than a divine power, or magic, creating us? Hominids found in ethiopia and africa indicate ancient origins of very early human years contain still monkey like aspects of them. We've found these bones from around 1.7 millions years ago, and we are just starting to get into it. There's a whole 7 million other years to look for these fossils and i bet they will yield conclusive results of chromagnon/early human fossils being of ape-like descent. I mean the bone structure is so similar, how is it that different.

i personally want to accept the idea that is correct, not the one that makes me feel the best. And yes, it is egotistic. My opinion: the chicken/egg came first through evolution. So it'd probably be the egg then since it would have to be born then but through an egglaying creature similar to what we call a chicken.

please, reply to this particular subject in the evolution thread, thanks -psychosnowman
