Stop with the childish antics. Answer the question.
You mean the platypus that has a mixture of mammalian and reptilian features, clear evidence of an evolutionary transition?

Why not?
Perhaps you should ask the platypus.

You made the assertion...I simply asked why not?
Can you not answer the question?
I asked why would a common creator be forced to use a nested hierarchy. If you can't produce a single reason, then there is no reason why we should expect creationism to produce a nested hierarchy.
Can you not answer the question?
Quite right. Even if you could disprove evolution, that would not prove creationism. When 19th-century scientists began exploring nature, they believed they could find proof of the biblical account, especially the great Flood. However, the data they gathered suggested something else. Hence, evolution was introduced. Now, should evolution be discredited, the march of knowledge will go forward to something else, not backward to what was previously rejected.
All life appears closely related because all life was made from the exact some protons, neutrons and electrons that make up dust. And so the appearance of relatedness is to be expected in creation.
So you believe whales and humans are the same Kind????
Do you? Since no laboratory experiment has produced life from non-life. And every experiment condition is incompatible with every other one. It is simply OPINION that life started from non-life and then developed complexity afterwards.
Nor has any experiment ever produced anything new. E coli after billions of generations and billions of mutations remained E coli.
Anything else is just opinion.
Who said God was forced?
That seems to be your strawman position.
Tell me why it rules out special creation.
Justatruthseeker is making that argument, and you seem to be agreeing. We are being told that being made of the same protons, neutrons, and electrons means that life has to fall into a nested hierarchy. Why?
Tell me why special creation would produce the observed pattern of shared and derived features. If you can't tell us why, then there is no expectation that special creation would produce what we observe.

Why wouldn't a common creator used shared features? We don't live in the ocean...so i wouldn't expect God to have created us with fins and gills....so I wouldn't expect to see people with fins and gills...would you?
Birds have hollow bones, Bats do not. Why didn't a common creator use shared features? Birds have beaks and no teeth, bats have teeth and no beaks. Why didn't a common creator use shared features? Birds have feathers, Bats have fur. Why didn't a common creator use shared features?
Why are fur, teeth, mammary glands and live birth always found together in one set of flying creatures, while beaks, eggs, hollow bones, and hunting for baby food found in the other?
There is an evolutionary answer . . . for this pattern. There is no creation theory to explain this pattern.
Definitely something happened. And we are now here. But no sign of a creator.
Created implies intent, no? I go with just plain old 'happened' but is probably semantics.
Ah, I am just arguing semantics. Apologies. Agreed.
