Now, God has a sense of humor. Believe me, He does. Just do some studying of the Platypus in Australia. I believe that this creature was created simply to make evillusionists' heads spin. That one creature has features from many animals. For example, it has milk glands, fur, leathery eggs, echo-location ability, a duckbill, webbed feet, poison spurs, etc. As Ken Ham from AnswersInGenesis.org says, "If you want a transitional form, this creature is just about everything!" God must be laughing at the confusion this creature causes the myth of evillusion.

It doesn't actually have echolocation. And it's simply an extremely basal mammal with many early synapsid traits, it isn't hard to explain. Monotremes' place in mammals' evolutionary tree is still vague, but they definitely aren't some kind of mammal-bird-reptile hybrid.
That's not how transitional forms work, dearie.
But yes, I do agree; if god exists, he or she definitely has a sense of humor. A dark sense of humor...
I'm sure he does have a sense of humour should he exist. He has to deal with idiots like you spreading all kinds of misinformation and lies, show off your ignorance, etc.
I hope you don't use medicine or vaccinations as they are based on evolution.
So how does it fit into the cretinist assertion that life was created as distinct "kinds"?
(Also, the similarity of the platypus's bill towards that of a duck is superficial, being a flexible leathery sensor organ partially supported by bones , not maxillary bony structures covered by a hard keratinous sheath.)
Hate to break it to you, buddy (no I don't), but we already know where monotremes fit into the picture. They are the most recognisably distinct general "stage" between early reptilian species and more modern bird & mammal species. The platypus & echidnas are special not for their differences from the majority of modern dominant categories of animal life as for their managing to survive the fading away of their own once fairly widespread category. In short, they don't break the theory of evolution; they reinforce it like little else can. You just did the equivalent of trying to disprove the development path of modern firearms by pointing to a musket and saying "Well where does that fit into modern firearm development, huh!?"
@The Reptilian Jew:electro location. Not that he'd know the difference.
If you want to know anything at all about evolution, don't get it wrong by asking someone else as ignorant as you are. If you DON'T want to know anything about evolution but just want to mock it, trust me, it just tells all the rest of us what an ignorant fool you are.
Or maybe his son created it when he was little, like little kids used to make their dads crappy clay ashtrays here on Earth.
"Here dad, I made you this."
"Oh! Thanks Jesus! That's awesome!" (I guess I have to keep it around now.)
How's that for a joke, Hammy?
This is part of their reverse strategies. Years ago they would insist we should see creatures that are mixes of the large groups of animals if evolution is true, when presented with the Platypus, the standout among many, they shut up,,,for a few years, then came back saying biologist were completely baffled by the beast but they know it was Gods way of outing them as fools.
Like:
No their arguments don't make sense to us, we know evolution never claimed to be perfection or a known level of achievement to be reached, that's the claims of religions. Their flocks buy these backward argument because it's all they have.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
