No one cares about Kent Hovind. He's willfully delusional. You can stop posting his videos now.
A quote taken out of context and spliced. Nice dishonest work there. We do indeed find them embedded in the crust of the earth and they confirm the theories. Darwin didn't have as many specimens at the time. But more are discovered everyday.
Some better context of the quote...
He's talking about the specific circumstances required to preserve specimens. Fossilization is a rare occurrence, yet throughout so much time we still have lots and lots of specimens. If you'd stop burying your head in the sand you could learn about them in museums, books, or even the internet: Fossil Evidence
Here's a conundrum for your Creationist dogma: How did unique species only found in remote parts of the world (like Madagascar, the Galapagos, etc) get there and nowhere else? If they got off Noah's Ark like everything else we should see them in other parts of the world. Answer: The reason we don't is because they evolved there in more remote isolation; hence their uniqueness.
More deliberate and dishonest misquoting. A big reason this propaganda still works is because not many are willing to take the time to pick apart the dishonesty. It's time consuming. Some real Einstein quotes that clarify the shameless cherry picking...
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me."
-Albert Einstein
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
-Albert Einstein
Einsteinian "Awe" is not in the slightest like Christianity's "personal God." He states explicitly that he does not believe in a "personal God."
Of course it can be dangerous the xenomorphs had to evolve and they got acid for blood.

Hmmm, selection pressure and factors along with beneficial selection through mutation are the critical factors in modern evolutionary theory. Things easily observable in selective breeding of farm animals and bacterial antibiotic resistance.
It's like the Op's failure to understand the evidence for the age of the Universe due to the microwave background radiation, elements, physical laws, gravitic lensings relationship to the speed of light etc. are solid. But then we all know Fly is just using his sock to troll.
Yeah, Einstein had the Universe as God, not a Supreme being.
Ha ha... I knew this topic would trigger PL (though I honestly didn't specifically make the thread to upset anyone but to try & educate them instead).
Hey PL, posting in big bold letters doesn't make your argument any more credible.
Just sayin'.

If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide that proves they should value evidence? If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument would you invoke to prove they should value logic?"

If evolution were true, why is there still chimps and moneys and not more humans?

Nope, not a troll thread at all because I specifically mentioned I didn't make this thread to upset anyone.
Do better, Bashy.

Evolution works through variety so it's expected to have a huge array of vastly different organisms. There is no linearity to it so there is no reason to believe different animals would all evolve into humans.
Is that according to scientists? The same scientists who said climate change is real and that man actually went to the Moon? Yeah, excuse me if I accept that with more than a pinch of salt.

Lol, you're either trolling or you legitimately believe your delusions. Either way it's truly sad. I don't doubt that you're sincere. Plenty of Christian apologists and Creationists are. But you're completely impervious to outside evidence and reason. You live in a crazy echo chamber containing only you and Kent Hovind.
And I'm not triggered, I just like to correct delusional bullshit and destructive lies. It's duly noted that eThneo doesn't even try to have a substantive defense for the insane assertions. That's why he has to use deception and trickery, instead of legitimate logic and reason.
I'll assume this is a legitimate question also, cause I don't think Bently made the answer very clear...

It's often assumed that modern humans came from the monkeys/apes we see today. But all the previous ancestors you see behind the modern man are all died out. They are extinct. We find their remains/fossils (they are the "missing links" that are actually not missing, despite Creationist lies). They are our ancestors. The early ancestors are depicted as looking like modern monkeys/apes because they likely looked similar, but they were not the same. The modern apes and monkeys we see today are surviving relatives.
Look up speciation. A simple way to understand a version of it is when members of a species get separated from one another and end up in different environments and thus develop and evolve difference features in order to adapt to their different environments. Then you have two different species. This is a simple way to understand how so much diversity of life exists today.
Also a tiny head and mouth came out of the larger mouth! Wtf is happening!
