When I talk about evolution with creationists (yes, I know a few) they often refer to the lack of substantial transitional fossils as if a "missing link" in itself would prove Darwin wrong. "There is no evidence to suggest humankind derives from apes," they say. Well, I think I have found a picture I could present as evidence the next time the subject is discussed. Just compare this large, basket-carrying monkey with the shopaholics in your local supermarket. Only the fur tells them apart.

Ha ha. Funny pic. There is a great animal video on youtube too - just search for 'dancing walrus' from someone called something like Leitte (spelling?).
Anyway, as a non-creationist who still has questions about evolution, the big mystery is not about the missing link, it is about cellular evolution and the first origins of life. The concept of evolution sounds great, but lets get some more details first before we believe it unquestioningly in all areas.
Here's the walrus link -

That is amazing to me.
