> QUOTE: "Despite the constant drumbeat of media stories announcing the discovery of the latest "missing link," the evidence shows that human-like forms appear abruptly in the fossil record, without any fossils connecting us to our alleged ape-like evolutionary ancestors. This contradicts the expectations of neo-Darwinian evolution and suggests that unguided evolutionary mechanisms do not account for the origin of our species."

When and how did one species become another? .... some of us don't know what to believe.-I agree. The gaps are not explained at this time by science or by evolutionary theory. Again I look for inferences to the best explanation/
