Oh yeah, you can't answer questions and its my fault...
Explain sex, how did sex evolve, how did a male survive without a female or did they evolve at the same time?
How did the duck billed platypus evolve? It is considered an advanced species with only one predecesor, how does that make sense?
You can't answer any of these questions
I just don't believe in evolution. It doesn't make sense
Thats because you weren't looking for my questions, you typed in platypus and didn't look to see if it answered my question.Early sex did not involve male and female. Sex existed before gender.

How did the butterfly evolve? Did a catapillar decide one day that it wanted to fly?

For a lay comment explaining some of the scientific jargon see:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-06/960566507.Ev.r.html
What doesn't make sense about it? Speciation through hybridization is much more common in plants than in animals.

Most of your questions have answers which you can easily find for yourself. I found all the sites above within 10 minutes.
Lots of things don't make sense until you study them. Then it falls into place.
Is this how evolution works? They make stuff up
and decide not to answer the hard stuff? Again, are you saying that male and female some how appeared at the same time? Can anyone answer that question without posting a link to a site like this that doesn't answer the question at all...
They showed the same thing I've already seen... one predecessor that is conlcusive as being an ancestor, but thats it.. one, that can't find anything that is an ancestor to that Obdurodon.
Yes, sex existed before gender which means at some point a male had to come into existence and at the same time a female would have had to come into existence at the same time or they would have died off. Are you saying that is what happened?
Dog's still are wolves, if you think about it.*cough*submitted*cough*
Dogs were bred from wolves.
Speciation is evolution. That's why Darwin titled his book "On the Origin of Species".Dog's still are wolves, if you think about it.
You just have different species.
NOT evolution, but adaptation.

False. Carbon dating is but one of over forty radiometric methods scientists use to date fossils, and one of hundreds of methods in general used; not to mention, it's rarely used to date fossils since its upper age limit is about 60,000 years, at which point the error margins are too large to be negligible.
Demonstratbly false. Carbon dating is verified for samples older than 400 years with independent methods as well.
No, that is not the point, the point is that no one can explain how it evolved. They point back to one ancestor and say Hey, see it did evolve! but the doesn't answer why it would evolved.Ah, the way you phrased your question initially, I thought you were proposing that the platypus must be a hybrid.
But what you are really getting at is that we do not have a complete lineage of the platypus.
So what? You probably don't know your own family tree much beyond your grandparents. Does that mean that you had no ancestors prior to them?
Looking at fossils is a little like doing the kindergarten exercise of looking at pictures and figuring out which one came before the other. Just because you don't have a snapshot every three seconds doesn't mean you can't work out that somewhere between eating breakfast at home and playing on the swings at recess, there must have been a trip from home to school. And just because we don't know if it was by bicycle, bus or car doesn't mean the kids magically appeared at school without travelling the intervening distance.
So we can't identify the immediate ancestor of Obdurodon. Doesn't mean it didn't have an ancestor. No more than not knowing the name of your great-great-great grandfather means you didn't have one.
No, read the other posts on that topic.
Fortunately science is not soley the responsibility of the U.S. government - we Brits are keeping you all in line.I do NOT trust this government more than I can pick up the U.S and throw it. So, I need actual EVIDENCE and/or good solid proof that this is actually how c-14 dating works.
Well, it's safe to say you're a typical atheist, blindly believing in science, just as you say we blindly believe in our God's ability to create the whole universe, and everything beyond.And yet you provide none of them.
You're a typical creationist I'm sorry to say, stuffing your fingers in your ears and yelling "but I'm right!".
No, you only show how a species adapts to survive.I propose to you the same challenge I gave ChristianFAQed.
Describe how a species adapts.
If you describe the process correctly, you have described evolution.
Heh, no they can't, but they will say that's not evidence and then point you to a bunch of links that don't answer your question eitherLets look at the human eye.
Can you explain the "evolution" of that?
Heh, no they can't, but they will say that's not evidence and then point you to a bunch of links that don't answer your question either
