A man who is covered head to toe with thick and wiry hair. He's so hairy, he's the missing link that connects humans to apes.

Creationists' undisputed proof that evolution is 100% wrong. The standard reasoning is that, since not every single human being who has ever lived since before we were human beings has been dug up, we don't know for 100% sure that they're all *really* related.

Resulting alternate postulations necessarily involve the sudden mass-extinction of one species, almost immediately followed by the magical and/or miraculous introduction of a new species - homo sapiens - by the creationist's deity of choice, be it God or aliens.

Despite the fact that this "theory" cannot hold up to a tiny fraction of the rigor they grace the theory of evolution with, proponents of intelligent design often fervently insist that the "missing link" in the chain of evolution is undeniable proof that the theory of evolution is entirely unfounded, and that their highly unlikely postulate of intelligent design must be the only logical solution.

In reality, the "missing link" represents but one piece of missing evidence among millions of pieces of existing evidence for evolution. This can be contrasted to the almost complete lack of any evidence whatsoever for the proposed alternate theory of intelligent design, as well as the willful ignorance of any physical evidence that does in fact exist (which is commonly dismissed by arguments such as "LOL THE DEVIL PUT IT THERE").

The field of psychology explains that this type of reasoning has its roots in a phenomenon known as the "confirmation bias", which is ...

The act of waking up after a long and fruitful night of partying; and someone you didnt even know walks by (preferably a door way) to go to the bathroom.

The inexplicable phenomenon, when for no rational reason...you go a whole day without taking a poo.

A derogatory term which refers to the scientific community's search to bridge evolution's gap between chimanzees and homo sapians.
