I tried asking this in r/askscience with no luck, I figured I would try here:
Religious folk seem to hang onto this "missing link" in human evolution as evidence that their deity exists. is there actually a missing link? has it been found? or is this statement wrong all together
This is a question for /r/AskAnthropology. Any "missing link" would lie well outside the time frame a historian is capable of discussing. If you want to ask about the origins of the concept of a missing link or the reaction to Darwin's theory of evolution more broadly, then /r/AskHistorians is more applicable.
