this is the speculation that makes you believe it to be so, but why can't one cell become two and so forth until what you call intelligence is formed. self awareness makes us feel so important . We have a need to believe some greater purpose placed us here, infact we are simply animals. no more important in this planet than a fea

Are you asking for the evidence for evolution? While it would be impossible to reproduce the single celled organism all the way up to mankind, the evidence for evolution is staggering fossil records, dna, predictions that evolution has made and then later were proven to be true ( an example of this is the hypothesis that humans have 23 chromosomes because our ancestorers who had 24 chromosomes fused 2 chromosome into one. This has since been proven, by the evaluation of DNA) . The fact that main stream religions teach against evolution and a 6,000 year old universe remind me of the trial of Galileo who had scientific evidence for the fact that the earth revolves around the sun, but the church condemned him to live in house arrest the rest of his life because there doctrine claimed the earth was the center of the solar system. There have been experiments that have successfully shown that amino acids, the building blocks of DNA, could easily have been created during the formation of earth or possibly on another planet. Considering how vast the universe is it seems likely that somewhere in the universe these amino acids would form the first single celled organisms. After that it is simply survival of the fittest for these self replicating single celled organisms to evolve into multicelled organisms. This process of survival of the fittest has a wealth of evidence and evolutionary changes within a species have been document so we know that this happens in nature. Modern religion is doing what it always has done by denying scientific discoveries if they don't line up with their holy book that was written by men thousands of years ago. I believe there is a correlation between the high percentage of religious people in the US and the low scores in Science our country produces. Claiming religion is the authority over science is absurd, but it is a belief held by roughly half of all US citizens.

A man after my heart.
People don't understand that a scientific theory is not a theory like we all know the definition of. It's not a hypothesis, but a proven explanation for some phenomenon in the natural world.
Germ theory is a perfect example. We know that diseases are caused by germs, ie bacteria and viruses, yet we still call this a theory. Not because it hasn't been proven, but because in science, scientific theory has a whole different meaning.
The US is so far behind the rest of the world in terms of science. It's astounding that so many here believe that evolution is some conspiracy that encompasses nearly every scientist from all areas of science including biology, geology, paleontology, zoology, astronomy, anthropology, and genetics. All of these sciences are in Percy agreement that evolution has been proven. Hell, even the Vatican has admitted it to be fact.

I hate getting into this subject so I won't! It is much too touchy and can alter ones perception of life! Makes it worth just leaving alone.

And the fossil evidence for the "missing link" is where? Still missing. You'd think they would find at least one specimen since they seem to have found multiple specimen of every other kind of life all the way down to single celled organisms.
Monkeys are still monkeys. I've never seen one evolve into a human, nor has anyone else in the history of mankind. Maybe because monkeys were made like man but still made as monkeys.

what missing link? the very statement reflects a lack of understanding of evolution and physical anthropology. its not a straight line leading from "most primitive" to "more better".
