Amazing Creature


Evolutionists like to try to prove their theory by death, with fossils and 'natural selection' which only results in death. Yet species are about life and one must wonder how one can develop a theory of life by only examining death. One cannot. Life shows enormous variety and enormous paradoxes which are not easily explained by any single theory. Some of those numerous paradoxes which show the impossibility of evolution are detailed below:


Platypus

Pride of place goes to the platypus, a creature with very amazing features which are only seen in very diverse species: mammals - mammary glands (all), three ear bones (all), beaver like tail, fur (many); reptiles - cloaca (all) (however, it does have a uterus and as in birds, only one of the ovaries is functional), egg laying (all), poison (snakes) spurs for defense; birds - duck like bill (which is soft however), it breathes through the bill like the duck, duck like webbed feet (however, these feet have claws in the front and spurs in the back); fish - it has an amazing electro receptor (paddle fish) in its bill which allows it to catch prey under water while its eyes are closed and its hearing shut, it also has a very large vocalization range more bird-like than anything found in other mammals (except man). The platypus is perfectly designed for feeding and swimming in the water and it has to be - it eats about half its weight in food a day! However, it lives on land in burrows it digs with its claws and can also feed on insects and other land creatures. To add to the uniqueness of the platypus, studies of its mtDNA forced evolutionists to give upon mtDNA to 'prove' evolution. The studies showed that it was closer to eutherian mammals (cows, men, etc.) than the marsupials (kangaroos, koalas).


The platypus was discovered in the early 19th century and was quite a sensation. At first it was thought to be a fake. While well known, Darwin did not dare discuss it in his works. Clearly, he could not explain it away. However, the Australian Aborigenes do have a theory about the evolution of the platypus. According to one of their myths, the platypus resulted from a young female duck's disobedience. Duck lived with others of their kind in a sheltered river pond. All of them were in constant fear of Mulloka, the Water Devil, and never strayed far from their pond. But one day, against the advice of her elders, Duck ventured downstream and eventually found herself at a patch of grass on the riverbank. Unaware that this was the territory of the lonely Water-rat, she climbed out. Hearing duck, Water-rat emerged, threatened her with his spear and, dragging her underground, forced her to mate with him. By the time of egg-hatching, Duck was ashamed to have to lead out two extraordinary offspring. They had bills and webbed feet, but instead of two feet they had four and instead of feathers they had fur, while on each hind leg they had a sharp spike like Water-rat's spear. The first members of the platypus race were born.
