Duck Billed Platypus

OK well I heard the forum needed "new blood" so-to-speak and my husband (NOT ME) is a Creationist. He says "If they know everything, tell me how the Duck-Billed Platypus came to be."So there is the question. I have no idea where it would go, or if it can even be started as a topic. But the "fresh blood" wants to know. I am more than happy to type his responses, but he doesnt do the message board thing.

Well he JUST fell asleep, so over the weekend I will ask him. I have no idea why he thinks a duck billed platypus would be any different evolutionary then any other animal.I think where he is coming from is that the duck bill is SO "out-there" compared with other animals that certainly it must have been made by God because why would something evole into it otherwise?As far as knowing everything goes, my husband certainly thinks he does (can you imagine me rolling my eyes?)My husband is looking for any way he can to challenge evolution vs creation. He agrees that things do evolve, but thats not how the planet and everything in it came to be. He doesnt go with the Young Earth Creation story, but rather something along the lines of "when the Bible said 6 days it was interprted incorrectly and 6 days could have been any length of time" and my argument to that is that "Why would the Bible say 6 days of that were wrong?"
IMO my husband changes what he sees fit in the Bible to make it work for him. If 6 days sounds too far fetched then certanily it must be a mistake, Creation still happened but the time frame was longer. In other words he fully believes in the Bible, just not exactly as we see it written.I don't buy any of it personally.

I may get him to join sometimes soon, he is learning all about message boards and messenger as we speak. Right now he's clueless about message boards and has very little time.BUT it appears he was just being a smartass anyway. He says "The duck-billed platypus was just put there (By God) to confuse Darwin"I just don't even know what to say. Sorry I wasted your time with this one, I am going to smack him.

I assure he fully believes the crap he spouts off, drives me nuts.But you are right on one thing, he does love to do things to get a rise out of me.LOL about couples counseling, oh we are wayyyy beyond that. LOL
