As far as evolution vs creationism...i saw this article online about the formation of the grand canyon and how there are creationist groups that saw it happened in the 6000 years or whatever it was since God created life. Not really sure on the exact details, and i cant seem to find it right now.

I see how there is validity to the lack of existence of transitional sekelatons/fossils to be used to discount evolution, but creationism discounts millions of years of earths existence with their theory. Plus there is sooo much land area that has yet to be explored. I mean think of all the areas that these fossils can exist; under bodies of water (especially if you beleive the whole shifting of the continents thing), in forests (how many digs are there in forests? why couldnt fossils get covered over by trees and other foliage), and even just deeper in the earth. Over time things get covered, so maybe we just havent dug far enough to find this stuff, or maybe natrual events, volcanoes, earthquakes, floods...have destroyed, buried, or such these fossils, i admit that events like that would most likely also wipe out the current people, and the current fossils, and there is no reason that what is left is the newer stuff, but it is a possibility. could be why we're missing said links, because parts are destroyed and since the location is the same we put stuff back together incorrectly.

Just some additional food for thought
