Ida: Missing Link Missing Evidence (Solid Ground) Kindle Edition

A scientific discovery 25 years ago recently came to light that rocked the Darwinian establishment and prompted an avalanche of unfettered derision, disparagement, and contempt for “religious ideologues” still clinging to any notion of special creation. Here are some of the more tame examples:

• Okay, creationists, pack it up! Darwin was right, you just heard it on the news! Thanks for playing!
• And god [sic] gets tinier and tinier...what a wonderful discovery!
• It’s time for the lazy Christian creationists of the Dishonesty Institute to wake up and crank out some more lies for their retarded customers.
• It is always fun to poke the creationists with yet again another sharp stick coated with their nightmare, literally hard facts.

One blogger was so giddy about the alleged new evidence for Darwinism he could only write, “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!”

The discovery being celebrated with such abandon is a nearly perfectly-preserved ancient lemur-type mammal dubbed “Ida,” described variously as the “missing link” of human evolution, an evolutionary “Rosetta Stone,” and the “Holy Grail” of Darwinism.

Within a week of the public announcement of the find, a full-length documentary on the fossil was aired on the History Channel documenting how “this changes everything,” and a book titled The Link was released with advance production of over 100,000 copies.

In this month’s Solid Ground, Greg carefully reviews the hype by offering a three-step plan to allow you to separate fact from fiction about Ida – a plan that is equally applicable to other challenges you may face as a Christian. In particular, he explores the sleight of hand involved in labeling any fossil an evolutionary “transitional form.”

Read this article carefully, and you will discover that the alleged pathways of evolutionary development that have so excited the Darwinian community about Ida are based more on ideology than evidence.

Greg has been quoted in U.S. News & World Report, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the L.A. Times. An award-winning writer, Greg is author of "The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between," "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions," "Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air" (with Francis J. Beckwith), and "Precious Unborn Human Persons." Koukl has spoken on 85 university and college campuses both in the U.S. and abroad.

5.0 out of 5 stars True "Missing Link"?!?!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
There are no missing links, but, because there was a Decree issued at the Beginning of it all that every living thing should, "...produce after its own kind"...,what has been found in fossil records, and what will continue to be found is exactly that which has been Decreed.
