But there is no harm in using religion as a guideline to living your life. Whether or not God created anything is immaterial to what religion is actually trying to teach and that is a way of living. I think people who put too much into proving the bible or any other holy book is literal, are focusing on the wrong things. They should be using the books as a way of teaching themselves how to live. I consider the holy books a book of lessons similar to Aeosops fables. They are lessons to be learned and not to be taken literal.
There doesn't need to be a missing link to prove evolution. The evidence that many different humanoids have existed over time is painfully apparent and nowhere in any of the holy books does it explain any of these. Why, because they hadn't a clue about them.
