My response to this is to cite the dismal record of so-called missing links:

Nebraska man
Java man
Piltdown man
Orce man

I'd never heard of Orce man before. It sounds as dishonest as Nebraska Man, which is to say not at all.

Anyway, have you ever heard of Homo habilis? Homo erectus? (multiple fossils of each - Java Man is a perfectly legitimate H. erectus) Turkana Boy? Or any of the other dozens of fossils on this page?

Have you ever heard of Paluxy Man?

The irony of this "tooth tale" is that the creationists involved have committed the same error they and other creationists have inaccurately attributed to evolutionary scientists--creating an entire human fossil from a single tooth!

I'd never heard of Orce Man before either, and I thought I'd heard them all. Carl Baugh AGAIN. Think if the same mainstream scientist had been responsible for Piltdown Man and Nebraska Man and Archaeoraptor.

But Carl Baugh can come back with a new one and fool the YECs every time.
