The negative side will address first the general fossil record and then the specifics of the “Ida” discovery.  Because this topic is large and complex, several smaller arguments will be joined together to produce the general “no” answer to our question of missing links.  The following videos look at specifics of the fossil record and the “missing links.”

One regularly transitioning form is the mutation of bacteria.  Bacterial genetics regularly change and therefore should demonstrate something of evolution at a faster pace than in other more static species.  With all the bad bacteria out there, scientists are working hard to develop new antibiotics to combat them. But these microbes often mutate when they reproduce, making some of them resistant to medicine. Is this process “evolution in action”?

The missing link… Commonly thought of as a hypothetical ape-like creature. This evolutionary rock star is supposed to bridge the gap between man and ape. But there are missing links all over Darwin’s evolutionary tree. And guess what… they are still missing.
