Not sure what you mean here. Why are there no missing links? There is no such case that we have evidence of one species and evidence of another, but no way to connect them. We have multiple stages of change between organisms. The picture isn't perfect, but that's not due to evolution being false, it's due to fossilization being an imperfect process. Not every species yields fossils, nevermind well-preserved fossils.

2. Why have the so called intermediate man findings, like Peking and Piltdown man, confirmed apes or outright frauds?
Again, not sure what you mean. The Peking Man is a specimen of Homo erectus, which is an evolutionary cousin of ours (we're part the same genus, Homo). The Piltdown man was indeed a fraud. I'm unsure of your point.

3. How can a scientist claim parts of the human body are from evolution and no longer work if sed scientist doesn't even
know their function or prove they no longer have a function?
We know evolution occurs, so any body part will no doubt be a product of evolution. What their function is/was is subject to testing and observation. If it is found in other animals, then we observe what purpose it serves there. If it is even found in animals similar to us, like chimps, then we can hypothesize that it serves a similar purpose in us (if it still functions at all). It could just be vestigial. Maybe you could clear up your sentence since it's a little unclear.

4. Just because fish have fins, birds have feathers, dinosaurs had claws and men have hands doesn't mean they "evolved".
That's like saying an Audi is a direct line manufacture of a VW bug.
What? I don't understand your point.

5. Evolution is a "Theory" not a hard "natural law". Gravity is a proven natural law. Evolution isn't even proven scientific law
since it hasn't met all the requirements of the scientific method.
There's no requirement that in order to be considered factual, something MUST be a scientific law. Both gravity and evolution are facts, but one tells us "what" and one tells us "why." That's the difference between a law and a theory. A law tells us what happens under certain conditions, a theory may tell us why.

6. The evolution model violates the law of Bio-genesis and the cell theory.
Elaborate.

Last time I checked, no white mouse has ever built an atomic bomb.

They lack the intellectual capacity to do such things. Just because humans possess that capacity doesn't not make them animals.

No...humans are not from apes, the fact that primate DNA has never been found to be even close to human genetics
proves that we have no ape ancestry. When you can find a single ape with the exact copy of the human DNA then we'll
talk. Till then you have a 'Theory" not fact.
So this can be debunked with just a few well-supported observations:
Chimpanzees share 99% of our DNA. A similar degree of difference occurs in Bonobos. Gorillas differ by only about 2%. 3% for Orangutans. I won't comment further on just how similar we are to our ape cousins.
The requirement that we find an ape sharing 100% of DNA with humans is impossible, and demonstrates an overwhelming misunderstanding of genetics. You won't even find that between yourself and your parents.
Theories can be facts, though they're explanatory facts. Research the context in which the term "theory" is used in scientific research. It's not the same as the colloquial usage, which is often akin to a wild guess or hunch.

I'm with you so far.

We know nature can not produce organized structural complexity and explosions don't create

Humans did...I feel I may be losing you.

Explosions provided the beginning rough shapes but it took an intelligent designer to bring the
faces to existence by transmitting complex forms from the state of mind to the hand to the chisel
and hammer. Nature alone can not create complex life, it can only duplicate multiples from a single existing
form and then act on those multiples to help them adapt to certain conditions.
Well, I look forward to you supporting the claim that "nature alone can not create complex life" considering nature creates complex life all the time. Sex, fertilization, and gestation are processes involved in the natural creation of complex life.
it can only duplicate multiples from a single existing form and then act on those multiples to help them adapt to certain conditions.
Not at all clear on what you mean by this. I mean, in some way, it sounds like you're describing what evolution does.
