Evolution from a common ancestor, on the other hand, has alot of evidence.
Then wouldn't that fact be in the bible?

Based on science that uses a flawed system called "carbon dating".
We aren't meant to know how/why we are here anymore than any other creature that walks the Earth.
Just because we are self aware, does not mean even our search for knowledge will give truthful answers.
How do you know that carbon dating is wrong then?

Any "theory" can be proven correct with enough funding behind it.

Why would it need to be? Pardon the leap of "faith" here but what good would it serve an advanced being with knowledge that as a species we would eventually evolve and discover such things on our own... what good would it do to enlighten humans to their method of existance at a time when they were intellectualy and technologically incapable of understanding it?

Like the opening post in that thread says, we don't use C14 after 57000 years, so it hardly discredits evolution, and fossils are not the only form of evidence for evolution.

True..but they are the only form being argued FOR it.
You cannot say that humans evolved from apes, and dinosaurs evolved into birds and modern reptiles..yet nothing else on the planet evolved.
What would the argument for selection be? Why some and not others?
Why are there still modern apes?
What "sparked" an evolution to occur then, but has not sparked another in our species or any other?
There is evidence of more than one type of hominid existing simultaneously..that in itself cancels out evolution, unless you include the theory of interbreeding.

Here is what I find interesting with the current theory of evolution: The dinosaurs were the dominant species for 160 million years (that's 32 times longer) and none "evolved" into something else, while we have apes and humans evolving on separate paths merely 5 million years ago.
Some one's been tinkering with the monkey genome for such lightning speed "evolution", if you ask me.
There are no missing links in existence. There are only missing fossil remains.

It is not a complete skeleton as the opening paragraph suggests.
I decided to make that small final detour. There was virtually no (fossilized) bone in the gully. But as we turned to leave, I noticed something lying on the ground partway up the stone.
'That's a bit of a hominid arm,' I said.
'Can't be. It's too small. Has to be a monkey of some kind.'
We knelt to examine it.
'Much too small,' said Gray again.
I shook my head. 'Hominid.'
'What makes you so sure?' he said.
'That piece right next to your hand. That's hominid too.'
'Jesus Christ,' said Gray. He picked it up. It was the back of a small skull. A few feet away was part of a femur: a thighbone. 'Jesus Christ,' he said again. We stood up, and began to see other bits of bone on the slope: a couple of vertebrae, part of a pelvis - all of them hominid. An unbelievable, impermissible thought flickered through my mind. Suppose all these fitted together? Could they be parts of a single, extremely primitive skeleton? No such skeleton had ever been found - anywhere.
'Look at that,' said Gray. 'Ribs.'
A single individual.
'I can't believe it,' I said. 'I just can't believe it.'

You are wrong about that.
Dinosaurs kept evolving right up to they got hit on the head with a big rock.
T-Rex and Stegosaurus were from the last bunch.
There are still dinosaurs living today. Birds have almost all of the characteristics a lot of predatory dinosaurs had. Somewhere in the dinosaur era they got split from their dino heritage and started roaming the skies.
Originally posted by _BoneZ_...will never be a definitive link between modern humans and any of the humanoids that walked this planet before because we (modern humans) did not evolve on this planet.
Nemind them! Had they not been wiped out, Velociraptor would have taken over the world.
Imagine a dominant species evolved from velociraptor!
So the as yet unproven catalyst for dinosaur extinction was exclusively connected to Terra Firma! Perhaps the dinosaur genome predicted the pending catastrophy and split so that the species had a sanctuary in the air, where it was cooler. Perhaps the split was in the genetic blueprint.
When did I imply humans and apes came from Adam?
Originally posted by AccessDeniedNot what I was referring too..
The point of both Humans and Apes coming from Adam..THAT FACT would have been stated in the bible just as the lineage of all others is noted.

I love how everybody gets so excited when they find the "missing link" lets forget for a minute Carbon Dating is only really accurate if the test subject is less the 10,000 years old. After That it is really only guess work.
