What is the most convincing missing link?

 

[John]

There is a problem with your question Dave. The whole chain is missing.

There is a problem with your question Dave. The whole chain is missing.

So there is no link?

 

[John]

No link, no chain no anything.

No link, no chain no anything.

Some say Lucy is the missing link.

Just a 3 foot ape, hardly convincing. The newest crap going around is Ida which is simply a lemur variant.

John, if you're up to it, name me two major groups said to be evolutionarily connected, and I'll see if I can find a transitional between them.

Do you have enough faith in your beliefs to test them?

Apparently not.

That challenge is usually a stopper. For me, Diarthrognathus is a pretty good one. The distinguishing mark between mammals and reptiles is that the mammalian jaw joint is at the dentary, and the reptilian jaw joint is at a bone now part of the mammalian middle ear.

But there are a number of transitionals with both joints. That's really hard to wave away.

What is the most convincing missing link?

A creator.

So perhaps CR can come up with an answer to my challenge.
