Re:Darwin validated: Missing link found

Darwin doesn't need any validation. There is no evolution vs creationism argument. The media purports this like the scientific community is evenly split down the middle on the issue. The reality is actually quite different. The scientific community is overwhelmingly behind evolution/Darwin. The number of 'scientists' that do not accept the huge body of evidence behind Darwinian evolution is a statistically insignificant number that can be safely ignored. It doesn't much matter what the non scientific community choose to believe...

Yes, but unfortunately there is a significant number of people, and thus politicians, that think they know better. Therefore, we should grab any opportunity to show them that they are wrong.
Besides, it is really a marvelous discovery in biology that learns us a great deal about how mammals transitioned into homo sapiens (just saying "natural selection" doesn't cut it).

Why? Do you think you can change someone's faith through science? Good luck with that.
Personally I don't understand the conflict ... how is evolution a threat to God's existence? I mean, there's no mention in the bible that He created the world in seven earth days, or how He did it.
You are correct but you are ignoring the fact that you have a large and vocal community of people who vehemently declare otherwise. They claim that there is a 'missing link'. This is the answer to their doubts not the scientific community.
