Get the missing mug.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 tendency of a person to seek out and interpret information which enforces their predrawn conclusions and reject information which challenges said conclusions. The confirmation bias can be found at the heart of many junk sciences in which conclusions are drawn before any physical evidence is gathered to lead one to that conclusion.

Get the missing milkhook mug.A word or phrase on Urban Dictionary which enjoys a fine and happy life, generating views and many thumbs up and down. It enters the language triumphantly, good people everywhere now using it. Then, in an instant, the word or phrase mysteriously vanishes from Urban Dictionary, and no one seems to know why.
He hunted for the missing definition. It was gone from his own pages. For a day or two it still showed up in the search bar, and in a Google search, then went completely AWOL. The author, deciding to re-submit it, got the "oops" message - the definition already existed - even though it didn't. Paging Sherlock Holmes.
