Eslabón perdido literally means “missing link,” like a missing connection in a chain. In the song, it refers to the evolutionary theory of a transitional ancestor, making it a memorable scientific expression and a key phrase in the song’s debate about creation and evolution.
Alex Zurdo’s “Mitos Peligrosos” is a bold defense of Christian faith. The narrator challenges the idea that life began through evolution and questions how “de un desorden algo ordenado ocurriría” [how something orderly could come from disorder]. He remembers learning evolution at school “para la calificación” [for the grade], but says studying it did not make him abandon prayer or the Bible. The title, “Mitos Peligrosos,” means “Dangerous Myths,” and the song treats scientific theories as ideas that can lead people away from God. It is a blunt argument, and sometimes deliberately provocative, especially when he calls opposing teachers and explanations “venenosos” [poisonous].
The song also connects faith with the problems people see around them: war, suffering, loneliness, and a world that feels worse when God is removed from public life and education. The narrator asks who will help when everyone else has left, then answers with Christ. His comfort comes from the biblical line “nada me faltará” [I shall not want, or I will lack nothing], from Psalm 23. By the end, his message is clear: trust God, honor Him through life and praise, and believe that human beings were made “a imagen y semejanza de un rey” [in the image and likeness of a king].
