The odds being what they are, you'd have more chance of hitting the lottery for 250,000,000 dollars 10^1billion times in a row than finding a single missing link - they don't exist and never have.

What's a "missing link", exactly?

Missing link is the early terminology for what they now term 'intermediate steps'. IE a bat with no wings, and then multiple stages of the bat with non-working wings, then shazam, wings. It isn't that they just exist in small numbers. They don't exist at all. As the writeup notes, there's been a virtual explosion in the number of fossils available to these guys. They keep finding more and more new species; but, in the booming conversation of bones, there is no record of their missing links. The whole idea was a nutjob theory to begin with. I'm sure if they'd known then what they know now about how the body's systems function and rely on one another and how the systems safegaurd against mutation, Darwin would have kept his pie-hole shut or maybe just wrote a poor grade science fiction book.. which is about what it amounts to anyway. That this fantastical crap gets taught in face of the facts is astounding.

For Creationists? A pegasus or griffin.
