Google doesn't usually like missing links, but it has made an honourable exception with its latest Google Doodle.
Google has honoured the discovery of what could be the missing link between apes and humans with a new Google Doodle, following similar new Google logos for special events such as the Queen's visit to Google HQ.
'Google Doodles' on the internet giant's search engine homepage change occasionally to mark holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events, such as the Olympics.

Darwinius masillae is a small lemur-like creature that lived 47 million years ago. The Times reports that the fossil, nicknamed Ida, "could be an ancient ancestor of humans".
Wikipedia states that the first Google Doodle was designed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to notify users of their absence in case the servers crashed.
"Subsequent Google Doodles were designed by an outside contractor, until Larry and Sergey asked then-intern Dennis Hwang to design a logo for Bastille Day in 2000. Hwang has been designing the Google Doodles ever since.
"Clicking on a Google Doodle links to a string of Google search results about the topic.
"Google doodles have been produced for the birthdays of several noted artists and scientists, including Andy Warhol, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Louis Braille, Percival Lowell, Edvard Munch, Béla Bartók among others.
"The celebration of historical events is another common topic of Google Doodles including a Lego brick design in celebration of the interlocking Lego block's 50th anniversary."

It does not look nice and propably is of great interest to scientists. I dont know how to get rid of it.

If Google is going to make such a big deal about a stupid fossil, why not celebrate Levi's with riveted pockets being patented? That's super cereal important.

I like how evolutionists think creationists are illogical and ignorant when the theory of evolution and the “Big Bang” takes way more faith and twisting of scientific facts than creationism does.
Science again and again has supported creationism except evolutionists refuse to believe that that is the answer so they take it from an extremely illogical bias and twist the facts to prove their side.
John 14:6 “And Jesus said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”
Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ”
You searching for truth, stop looking to evolution….
some good sites are:
creation (dot) com
answersingenesis (dot) org

evolution never happened. God created the world period.
(When charles darwin thought of evolution he was either high or drunk)

Jeremy is absolutly right
Rob said on Thursday, 21 May 2009
jamie and jack have no clue what their talking about
evolution NEVER happened
Justin said on Thursday, 21 May 2009
ebaum your VERY confused
Jeremy said on Thursday, 21 May 2009
Jack,
you've been told one side your whole life.
I've heard both sides my whole life and I chose myself. Wouldn't it be less intelligent and more ignorant to just ignore the other side without acknowledging it.
The sites I posted are very scientific sites and deal mostly with evolution, except coming from a creation bias. If it is all BS like you say, nothing to be scared of and maybe it can give you a couple laughs....like most of these evolution articles do.
All I want for you to do is to seek the truth with BOTH eyes open.

Justin,

I've heard both sides my whole life and I chose myself. Wouldn't it be less intelligent and more ignorant to just ignore the other side without acknowledging it.
The genealogy I posted about your parents is very scientific and deals mostly with incest or bestiality, except coming from a truthful bias. If it is all BS like you say, nothing to be scared of and maybe it can give you a couple laughs....like the bible.
All I want for you to do is to seek the truth with BOTH eyes open.

Google will always support Leftist Rubbish. There are MILLIONS of missing links you morons.
An American said on Thursday, 21 May 2009
Evolution is such nonsense. It's so much harder to believe in something as fake as "survival of the fittest" when it's so much easier to believe that a bearded man sitting in the clouds created everything with a wink of one wise ominopotent eye. :) I also believe that electricity comes from a hole in the wall and that the terrorists hate us for our freedom! Go America!

A little girl once said to her mother, "You did not give birth to me." To which her mother replied, "Where then do you suppose that you came from?" To which the girl replied: "I came out of my own womb, and I gave birth to myself."
The little girl is the big bang theory, and her mother is God whom she denies. You cannot have a big bang without something to bang big.

Rob - "evolution NEVER happened"
It happened to some of us. The rest of you will catch up one day.
Peter said on Thursday, 21 May 2009
Creationists crack me up - you insist on belief of an omnipotent deity and yet you refuse to believe that god was ingenious enough to develop evolution and instead has to micromanagement everything instead. If god created everything, why are there so many mistakes in gods design? I think the joke is on you.

"If god created everything, why are there so many mistakes in gods design?"
- wow, that question's a big one to ask here. Have you tried the Speakers Corner forum on PC Advisor?
Boris said on Monday, 25 May 2009
That fact should be acknowledged, celebrated, even without fossils, we all know what is truth by now.
Just afraid to see the truth !!
Justin said on Monday, 25 May 2009
ebaum it's sad to think that if you keep believeing in a theroy that was made up by a drunk guy you'll be burning in hell for the rest of your life after you die
will said on Tuesday, 26 May 2009
love the burn in hell comment. especially since science had to create a science behind 'creationism' as you put it.
but i wonder how many of your houses build on sand will come tumbling the second you die an realize there was no god. just life. how cheated you will feel, when instead of living for life's sake, you cling to the hope of a deity to save you.
and by the way, ask your 'pastor' about the 'pre-adamic' race. then you might learn something interesting.
Justin said on Thursday, 04 June 2009
will,
