What lies.

This video is full of outright lies. eg. Neanderthals were just plain people? Oh really? Plain people with thicker bones, larger brain cases, pronounced brow ridges, sloping foreheads, flatter skulls and no chins? Oh and their DNA is not human either. Just plain ordinary humans, huh? When will the church quit lying to itself.

All you need is one replicating molecule and evolution does the rest. It is impossible for anything to replicate itself perfectly, so any copy of itself that was not as good as its "parent" molecule would end up being less plentiful in the molecule population, and vice versa.

Bacteria evolved from simple self replicating molecules. The earth has been filled with simple chemical compounds since it formed it was never a question as to whether a self replicating molecule would ever spontaneously develop but when. The Earth was lifeless for billions of years until billions of molecules bumping around in the primordial soup eventually accidentally combined to form at least one molecule that had the distinct property of self replication.

To keep it simple, just say in order for our ancestors to get food they had to be able to perform a complex sequence of steps, the individuals who couldn't complete these complex steps might not be able to eat and would die (and therefor not pass on their genes). Where as the individuals who could perform this complex sequence would be more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Obviously anyone who was even better adapted would do even better and so on. rinse and repeat a million times &...

As for the reason as to why all of the intermediate forms between our ape ancestors and us aren't walking the earth along beside us. Technically... they are, we are them. Evolution is usually a very slow and continuous acquisition of improved adaptations to the environment.

There is a massive fossil index that catalogs all of the hominid species that have been found to have existed between our ape like ancestors and our current selves (as well as all of the hominid species that have existed that aren't a direct part of our lineage). If you are really interested in reading about them any respectable human evolution text book will cover them.

Bacteria evolved from simple, single-celled structures that "ate" through simple chemical reactions and the basic concepts of thermodynamics. Look up the user "cdk007" for an in-depth explanation of this.

Well, if the bacteria can replicate itself, then it must have come from something? Or was it just there?

I cant stand it either, it really pisses me off. Religion acts like a social retardant, it makes people beleive in stupid things. Relize how they attack the credability of evolution by saying we have no missing link and no evidence for evolution. Then say that all the fossils were just apes or humans with syphilis then profide no evidence for that claim lol
Another video filled with rubbish. I cant believe how YouTube is being used as nothing more than a recruiting ground for this sort of religious nonsense.
Anyone watching this: go and read a REAL scientific journal, where REAL work is done that actually advances humanity.
The rest of you pro-rapture-psycho-creationists; how about you go and live in a cave where your primitive beliefs belong.

Yes, we all know about the sorry state of our educational system. I do know countries like India, China and Europe - whose economies are on the rise - are rather pleased with this nation's desire to ignore science.
