And the abundance of fossils doesn't defend yours.
Either we're both wrong, or my position, with its full awareness of the nature of that absence of fossils, is the most accurate available.
Indeed, it doesn't.
But it allows them to make educated guesses as to the shape of the head... from there, more educated guesses as to the shape of the body.
And usually they insist on showing you exactly what the fossil is and how they pieced it together to arrive at the overall body.
Look at this skull... see if you can tell which parts are actual fossil (replica) and which are extrapolations:
They can even then extrapolate a face:
Of course, we know this isn't exactly what the person looked like, but it's an approximation.
If I went to a local graveyard, dug up every ones bones, and lined the various bodies just so, I could create a convincing lineup showing evolution
Care to provide the article where such experiment has been carried out?
Something tells me that you'd only find homo sapiens skeletons...if any. And those wouldn't show any evolution.

One a day would be nice, but I guess rev would be overwhelmed with all the replies from each thread.
I'm waiting for something before I go to number 2...and I ain't gonna tell you what it is.
Each one is final until environmental pressures select for slightly different features.
What sort of good would require you to go to these lengths of mental gymnastics just to arrive at the conclusion that it exists and that we should worship it?

Interesting sequence of words.
Your god? How many gods are there? One for each person?
Do you own your god?
Care to share your thoughts on why in the world such expression has been invented?... "my god"
