There have never been fossils found that draws any direct lineage between humans and apes. They are proven distinctly human or distinctly ape in every case, only a hypothesis has been formed by science suggesting they are linked. They are drawing assumptions with the facts they know wich is no better than a creationists leap of faith.
Really man you need to educate yourself about science, it's hardly a gentlemans club where people sit down to pat eachothers backs all the time, that's not how ideas and concepts survive.
Creationism on the other hand is essentially Christianity with a very thin facade of trying to be something reasonable and factual, "on equal terms" with scientic ideas, but brutally failing when put through the most cursory examination.

Evolution suggests subtle changes over a long period of time. Starting off as organism A, gradually changing fundamentally over a long period of time into organism B, correct? Then much like stop motion photography where each picture cell changes slightly over a long distance of time, we should have seen evidence as such from such drastic transformations. Where are the early fossils of humans in ANY FORM OTHER THAN THE SEMBLANCE OF OUR CURRENT ANATOMY? I am not talking subtle changes such as skull structure or body mass. Where are these drastically different body forms we have supposedly evolved from?
Any honest answers? Or more white noise.
Corky I don't think there is a good answer for that. The question, for me, hinges on the TIME span involved and how we can't possibly know it. I mean.. There are elements we've found with half lives in the BILLIONS of year range and we know the universe's time table is beyond our comprehension so how many elements have vanished completely? We have no idea what things could be like. We can't measure. We can only apply our imagination so there is never going to be a correct answer. I like the mystery. I don't like being taught as if law, crap we cant know and reject Evolution and Religion for the same reason.
So what are you really looking for?

Perhaps I am in the minority, but whats the big deal of believing in evolution. Does that somehow disprove the existence of God? Is God somehow too incompetent to have made evolution? Seems stupid to argue.

Pretty sure the standard model pretty much covers the possible elements within the natural laws we find ourselves in within this universe. If you are suggesting there used to be, or are other elements for which we can not conceive based on the natural laws we are governed by, you are mistaken.
Also in regards to vanishing completely, I'd like to point out that 98% of all species that have ever existed are in fact extinct.

Evolution doesnt disprove God. You can believe in both. If you believe the Bible is literal in every way you cant
