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.

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

I believe without a shadow of a doubt that there is a Creator and He is Jesus Christ.
Who cares? What matters, all that matters, is can you demonstrate any of it?
I can if we had a time machine...
But my take is that no, inert matter can't produce life

I am quite certain Christianity stole this mythological idea from the Jews and their Golems.

I would venture to make the assertion that anyone who who claims to have experienced anything supernatural is not right in the head. [/i]

May your delusion be swiftly swept away from you one before it is too late for you to join the ranks of the rational here in reality.

That is because you prefer the comforting lie over the harsh truth.
Is the harsh truth is that once you die your dead, that's it, you no longer exist?
