Yet I never learned that the so called “missing link” was found in 1924. I speak of Australopithecus africanus, aka Southern Ape Man. This is said to be a direct ancestor of modern man. So why do we speak of the missing link as if it’s still missing?
Although Darwin expressed perplexity over the eye, scientists have since fully documented the evolution of the eye. Yet we allow theists to wave the eye before us as the bane of evolution.
Could it be because the textbooks in public schools are written in Texas, the buckle of the Bible belt, that cesspool of undigested lies, that our children remain ignorant of the advances of science?
Because you find a missing link and suddenly you've made two more either side of it. So the more missing links we find the more they come up with.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
