Re: evening all.
How many missing links are we talking here?
we don't know. Are you now going to play the "since you don't know everything then you know nothing" bullshit that you seem to be leading up to or is that still a couple of questions away?

Re: evening all.
Can you give me a ballpark figure?Surely you have have some idea.
I do not as I am not a biologist. Perhaps some research and education on your end would be helpful.
edited responding to your edit:
After all evolution is fact.
Evolution is a fact. The Theory of Evolution or more accurately the Theory of Common Descent is a theory.
And i have never accused anyone of not knowing anything
You haven't, yet. But it's a common creationist tactic to declare that since science doesn't have all of the answers then they don't have any answers. Perhaps you'll be the exception.

Re: evening all.
You have no idea yet felt obliged due to your faith being questioned to non answer me.
What faith would that be?

Re: The theory of evolution contains no magic. That's the "other side's" theory.
On one hand evolution says that all living things in existence came from an original single celled organism or a primordial soup (???) ...or perhaps landed here in the form of bacteria on the back of a metorite...
False. The study of evolution does not involve how life came about, just about what happens afterwards
the feline at some stage is linked to the hyena... but is that really likely? What is the evidence for such a link?
DNA, fossils.
Even Darwin expressed concern over gaps in the fossil record which failed to produce any transitional links
So? You do realize that Darwin was 150 odd years ago don't you? Things have advanced since then, he is not the final word on the subject of evolution.
Are you able to provide any fossil evidence of partly formed organs or bones showing a gradual transition into a new species???
All fossils are transitionals.

Re: how do we measure 'inferiority'?
in the same way that i am the common ancestor of my great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents?
No you're a descendant of your multi-great grandparent. Your parents are a common ancestor of you and your siblings. Your grand-parents are common ancestors of you and your siblings and your parents (or more accurately 1 set of grandparents are the common ancestors of you, your siblings and 1 parent) etc.

Re: arrogance and ignorance
I thought i was a creationist, but now i realise that term is reserved for those who adhere to the young earth theories.
Creationist isn't reserved just for the young earthers. "Creationist" generally applies to anyone who wishes to replace science with magic.
