Evolutionist Fail - The Duck-Billed Platypus
 

The duck-billed platypus has been a mortal enemy of evolution since it was first discovered in 1797.

The bill of the platypus is like a duck?s bill. On each foot there are not only five toes, but webbing which makes it a cross between a duck and an animal which has to scratch and dig. Unlike most mammals, the limbs of the platypus are short and parallel to the ground. The external ear is only a hole without the ear lobe which mammals usually have. The eyes are small. The platypus is nocturnal. It catches its food under water and stores the worms, snails, grubs, etc, in cheek pouches like those of a squirrel.

Evolutionists are astounded at the myriad of varying structures found on the duck-billed platypus. Its beak would imply a close relationship to ducks; its tail might place it with beavers; its hair is similar to that of a bear; its webbed feet imply that it would be an otter; and its claws are the likeness of a reptile?s.

The physiological diversity of the platypus is just as intriguing. Spurs located on the hind legs of the platypus produce venom. This poison is nearly as deadly as most venomous snakes! This would make it the world?s only venomous animal with fur.

The platypus goes on to feed the young with milk like a normal mammal. However, the platypus, unlike any other mammal, does not have feeding nipples but milks seeps out of pores in its skin. Nipples are the means by which mammals feed. The platypus defies this rule with pores as a means of feeding its offspring. These functions of the platypus are paradoxical if you look at them from an evolutionary taxonomic point of view.

Evolutionists cannot explain the anatomy of the platypus; they cannot explain its physiology; and they cannot explain it by evolutionary processes. It is evident that the platypus holds evolutionary scientists in perplexity because of its diverse nature.

Plus they lay eggs, you may have already covered that and I missed it :) they are a cool mammal species :thumbsup

Convergent evolution. Different paths to an aesthetically/functionally similar solution to a problem.

"A wise old man in the fucking clouds made this stupid animal" is much more reasonable.

lol

Yea cause creationism clearly has far less holes in it

Just because scientists can't "explain" the platypus now doesn't mean the platypus's evolution won't be explained sometime in the future. Galileo discovered Jupiter's planets in the 1600's but he's not considered a failure because he didn't figure out the expansion of the universe while looking through his telescope.

I take it you know the universe is expanding?

moons ....

lol - yeah

edit: I don't think it's stupid, i actually really like them. i wrote a homework about them when i was 10 years old and not much was known about them back then. one of my favorite animals ;)

The ol' God of the Gaps once again rears its simple minded head.

The difference between science and religion is that science doesn't pretend to know the answer to the ultimate question.

Science has proven many things and admits to knowing nothing, religion has proven nothing and admits to knowing everything.

Duh... yes, moons. I've been drinking... World Cup Final, etc.

Are creationists suggesting that God created this animal with parts that have absolutely no function? Speaking of which, I have an appendix.

Sounds like God was pretty… well… stupid. Maybe not something to brag about?

So, OP, you really believe that Earth was created by the God few thousand years ago?
I mean honestly I can not believe anybody believes that, even though they claim that I always assume deep down they know it is not true.

Fascinating responses.

I never said a single word about religion or "creation".

Proof that dinosaurs and man lived together

Since we understand from the Bible that everything was created within a literal six day period and that the Earth is 6,000 years old, as James Bishop Usher proved, you may want to know where the dinosaurs fit in the Bible. Quite simply, the dinosaurs lived at the same time as man did, and we know for sure that Adam was the first person to ever witness these magnificent beasts. As Christians, we understand that we live in a world bombarded by the secular media that wants us to reject God and to only believe in evolution. As Christians, We have been attacked by the evolution preaching film ?Jurassic Park? and atheist Richard Dawkins. If we want to fight the evolutionists, we need to understand how dinosaurs and man lived together by looking into the bible for the evidence.

So how did everything go down if you deny both creationism and evolution?

ROFL, Its official, your a dumbass.

Evolution is entirely interpretation and assumption.
It is Philosophy. It is not Science.

The search for the truth can only begin after one recognizes and eliminates the lies.
Religion and evolution are lies.

Faith is blinding.

Troll successful?

Jesus's dad just told me the word universe is code for heaven. It expands each time a new soul enters. He also said that unrelated creatures could evolve the same features at different times and this shit rhymes.

i really hope so...

Does it? Evolution is chock full o' holes.

Great, so we can now add denial of evolution to your list of beliefs. Something else that is chock full o' holes... Your brain.

The Evolution Deniers. Science denial.

Why do just rip other people's thoughts from a forum and post it like it's your own? It's not like some genius posted it in the first place.

And this idiot you ripped it from, had already ripped it from other idiots that posted it years ago on various religious sites. Who knows who the original idiot is?

It actually is PROOF of the mechanisms of evolution.

Australia being isolated from other land masses has animals that evolved independently from other populations which is why it has so many animals that are unique to the continent and found nowhere else.

Clearly all of the various features that the platypus aided in its survival and it's just a matter of piecing them together. It really is a marvel of evolutionary adaptation.

No. Noah dropped them off there to troll later generations.

Is this guy for real, lol? There are all kinds of animals with unusual properties and attributes. The platypus isn't really that weird compared to many. It's not even the only living species of monotreme.

Anyway, AMP, if your exhaustive study has discredited the theory of evolution and the literally millions of pieces of fossil, DNA and other evidence available for inspection in museums, books and online you should publish and collect your Nobel prize. There is worldwide fame, a place in the history books and millions of dollars with your name on it just waiting to be collected. What are you wasting your life posting on GFY for?

and christians will still disagree that it exists...

I dig the Platypus,cool animal

Good troll effort

I got one for all you stupid creationists.........
If god created the earth 4000, 10,000 or even 100,000 years ago. How is it possible to see the light from stars that are millions of light years away? I mean according to the stupid fucker almanac "The Bible" the heavens were created within a week of god creating Adam.

Another interesting creature, nice read :thumbsup

i cant afford a Duck-Billed Platypus... :(
