The Missing Link
Evolutionists strongly deny the idea that men came from the apes. They insist both came from a hypothetical ape-like ancestor, or a missing link. This is nothing more than story telling. In their story, man and apes diverged from the imaginary ancestor some seven million years ago. However, there is no evidence that this supposed "missing link" ancestor ever existed. If it were true, surely some would be fossilized. But none have ever been found.
Since there is no fossil evidence, let's look at it from the standpoint of genetics. How many genetic mutations it would require for the ape-like ancestor to transition into a human? The only way we know to acquire new genes is to alter existing genes through random mutation. The best alteration science has observed has produced only novel recombinations. Most mutations deteriorate the genetic information and thus harm the offspring. Many mutations are fatal. Evolution would require trillions of innovative mutations to produce man from lower forms. None have been observed.
