The "missing link" shouldn't be missing, because apes are still here, and we are still here.

[My husband's] biggest problem with evolution is that we simply don't know, and he has a problem with the scientists accepting the idea as fact and completely discounting any contradictory evidence.

I realise these are not your thoughts, but I'd like to comment. First, we are still evolving, but much less quickly with the advent of civilization. With the current travel abilities, even the minor population differences that had started to happen (race, etc) has been disrupted.
The missing link argument is silly ( apologies to your dad ). You and your 5th cousins exist, but your great-great-great-great-grandmother isn't around anymore.
Any scientist who discounts evidence isn't worth the name. But the problem is that many creationists love to create "evidence" that can convince the uneducated, but doesn't stand up to scientific investigation.
