This is an entire paper addressing calibrating the molecular clock. Please reach out to the authors and explain how laughable their work is.
The concept of Missing Link is one you hold but have defined in such a way as it can not be fulfilled. A afarensis, A anamensis, and A ramidus are all transitional examples between us and our ape ancestors. I am sure you accept none of them.
Whar we been down this road before, so let's get to the heart of the issue. Why will you not come to Jesus Christ so that you might have life?
Because I find the thought of scapegoating Jesus to bear my sins morally abhorrent. If God exists I will stand before him with my crimes still upon me. If this means I end up in hell then so be it.
Why do you believe Jesus Christ sacrifice was morally abhorrent my friend?
If the problems of scapegoating and human sacrifice have to be explained you have really lost your moral compass.
Well I am trying to engage your thoughts my friend, so that I can see where your coming from. Me personally, I know the reason why Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself. You call it morally abhorrent, thus I want to know why. You feel me?
I am responsible for my actions to scapegoat another is morally wrong.
To engage in or profit from human sacrifice is morally wrong.
I do not know what else to tell you those are simple straightforward concepts to me.
But how bout if the scapegoat is God Himself?
And what if the human sacrifice is God Himself?
No difference. I am human. I must make moral choices. The central tenet of Christianity appears to me to be immoral, to pass my sins an other is wrong.
That's the thing Whar, we as creatures are commanded to make the right moral choices. God gave mankind a chance to walk in perfect obedience with Him when He gave Adam and Eve the test in the Garden of Eden. Sadly mankind failed that test and thus sin was introduced into a perfect world. Everything in this world has now been corrupted by sin. Therefore nothing of this world can pay the penalty for sin and still be in right standing before God. Why? Because God is perfect. He demands perfection and anything less is an offense to Him, it is sin.
That is why God Himself could only pay the penalty sin deserves, which is death, and at the same time redeem a fallen creation because of the perfect righteousness that God intrinsically has, which He is able to impute unto all who will come to Him by faith!
The righteousness of Christ can now be credited to fallen humanities account on the day of Judgment. So when a believer is judged, God no longer sees the sin of the believer, but He sees the perfect righteousness of Christ, thus God accepts the believer into His presence, kingdom, and glory forever!
The unrepentant sinner on the other hand has a far different outcome on the day of judgment. Why? Because God will still see the sin that the unrepentant sinner has yet to confess and deal with. Thus on the day of judgment it will be dealt with severely! Why take your chances on the day of judgment when you don't have to Whar? Why be so presumptuous now, when all you have to do is humble yourself and confess to God that you do need a Savior who can save you from your sins?
There is a holy God that will be seated on the throne on the day of judgment. There will be no defense lawyer, no appeal agreements, no plea bargains, nor any jury that will be able to get anybody off the hook on the last day. The only one who will be able to pardon on the last day is the one who is seated on the throne. And if you have not placed your faith and trust in His shed blood for your sins, the only outcome of the judgment will be tribulation, wrath, anguish, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
Humble yourself and choose Christ Jesus my friend. Let us reason together my friend and look at Christ our sin bearer who loved us and gave Himself for us. He loves you my friend, do you believe that He does?
