In fact, completely different types of lifeforms are only seen going extinct and never seen coming into existence. For example, an arm of a dinosaur would become a useless liability before it would ever become a useful wing. Partially developed organs are a liability and would only lead to quick extinction. There are no examples of half-developed feathers, eyes, skin, tubes (arteries, veins, intestines, etc.) or any of the vital organs (dozens in humans alone.) ~Dr. In fact, all species, fossils and living, appear fully developed rather than partly unfinished.
Explaining the idea of evolution in Genesis would have been extremely easy to do should God have wanted to. In reality this is true in general for all mammals as well. And eventually came mankind (1 st Evolutionians, Chapter 1 (Made-Up Version)) Explaining the idea of evolution in Genesis would have been extremely easy to do should God have wanted to. How Powerful is Your Imagination?Īs I stated earlier, the platypus has no evolutionary ancestor. At one time they were threatened with extinction, but conservation efforts have eliminated that threat for now. Less than two feet long (the platypus has a dark brown coat, silver to light brown underneath), these animals show great parenting skills with their young. It is a sleek 3-4 pound swimmer that feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates in the streams, rivers and lakes of eastern Australia. Clearly though, the platypus is engineered for its environment and is not on the way toward evolving into any other animal. When the first platypus specimens were sent to Britain from Australia in the late 1700s, the scientists who studied them thought a clever taxidermist had stitched together parts from several different animals. This venom can cause extreme pain in humans similar to the poisons of many snakes. The male has a hollow horny spur on its rear ankles that is connected to a venom gland in its thigh.
