Yes. I'll point out that the platypus has a well established position in taxonomic cladistics. It fits in precisely where the theory of evolution suggests that it ought to be in its nested hierarchy. As a monotreme. Do you have any other questions about platypuses?

There is no confusion about whether they should be classified as birds or reptiles.
Wow. Evolutionists actually drew pictures, and created graphs, and placed animals into categories and classifications with cool scientific sounding names according to their own understanding of how things no one ever observed or observers happened. It must therefore be true. Never mind how many times they have been and do prove themselves wrong over and over again, that is just the evolution of the evolutionary theory in action. Perfectly natural, and nothing at all compared to the incomprehensible number of positive changes and or mutations which have taken place from some kind of suggested simple life form which no one has ever observed either, unto the extremely complex systems of life we observe everywhere around us today.
Never mind hard to explain complications of supposed development, complexities of seemingly obvious design, or very negative statistical probabilities concerning the chances such complex design and functionality could just happen, they have drawn pictures people, and made names and classifications and so on and so forth. I mean come on. Evolution has to be true. What do you think, these guys just imagined this stuff, and then built a system to support it?
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
What is the theory of evolution, but the denial of the eternal power of the Godhead declared in the fourth commandment of God, in favor of their own imaginary declared tree of evolutionary life. Their intellectual "scientifically so called" idol, denying God's stated time frame and power revealed in the creation, and replacing it with imaginary events created, promoted, and sustained by themselves. As the real purveyors of truth, in the place of God and His word or claims to the contrary. Bowing before imaginary evolutions of creeping things, four footed beasts, and birds unto corruptible man. Oh excuse me, dinosaurs into birds. NOT!
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
The claims of evolution deny the creative power of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ altogether. Declaring death, suffering, and even mass extinction level events to be an actual cause of our existence over lang expanses of time, instead of being the result of sin from which we are to be saved. No perfect and good world from the beginning as scripture relates concerning each day of creation, ruined by sin. Rather formlessness, emptiness, and slow development of life among a whole lot of death and extinctions of what once was unto what now is. As to be perfectly acceptable to and among those also who deny God altogether. More than acceptable actually, but rather providing them an excellent instrument of such a denial.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Is there an evolutionist on these boards, that will answer a question for me that no evolutionist has ever answered for me, though I have asked many to do so many times? If the scriptural accounts of the creation and flood are not just so many fairy tales themselves, then can you please explain what the scriptures do actually mean in accordance with your theory of evolution? How is what scripture states, actually what you propose? What is the actual time frame of the days of creation, and how is evolution addressed and or explained at all anywhere in scripture either by symbolism or allegory? Since you apparently know what it doers not mean, concerning what it simply states, do you know what it really does mean? Or is it just fairy tale altogether, to you?
