Missing Link?

According to this report it appears that scientists have discovered what they call the "missing link" between apes and humans. It has been declared the '8th wonder of the world.'

What should Christians make of all this? First of all, it seems to me that there has been many other announcements over the years about a missing link being discovered (cro magnon man, Lucy, etc.) that have ended up not delivering the goods. So we ought not just accept the story as it is without doing some investigation.

Secondly, we ought not be afraid of that which is true. All truth is God's truth. If it is proven that this links humans and apes what does it do to Christianity? Some would say it sounds the death knell. However the reality is this tells us nothing about the origin of the universe (remember something can't come from nothing). Most importantly, (and I am speaking about what matters most to Christians, not about science) we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jesus still rose from the dead.

So we can debate about how to interpret Genesis 1-2 in light of these findings, but always remember your faith is not in a particular view of creation, it is in a Creator who lovingly stooped down to His creation to rescue them in Jesus Christ. In light of this fact, whether God created the world in 6 literal days, or through some form of evolution over a longer period of time really doesn't make that much difference to me. What matters always is Jesus.
