Imagine for a moment that you are stranded part way down a cliff on a small ledge. It is impossible to climb up and to go down would mean certain death.

More than 99% of the links are strong so 1% can't matter, can it?

The question is, do paper links exist in the explanation of the chain of events that supposedly evolved life as we know it? I maintain there are at least ten. Note that Darwin himself recognized the first four and said if they can't be explained, his whole theory would collapse. One hundred and fifty years have passed since he presented his godless ideas. Have satisfactory explanations been given?
