Do you want to explain why God saw fit to create the noble & dignified platypus?
I mean, if you are an anti-evolutionist, then you believe species are a magical, inseparable thing (magical as in: no species could ever evolve into another species). So why don't you think phyla are magical as well? I mean, if God created mammals and avians to be Different Things, why would He have created a mammal with certain avian features?
Job 38
1. Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
2. "Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?
3. Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
4. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
5. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6. On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone--
7. while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
8. "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
9. when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10. when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place,
11. when I said, `This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt'?
12. "Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,
13. that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it?
14. The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.
15. The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.
16. "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17. Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death ?
18. Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this.
What's to explain. Do you wish to explain why British TV gave us Dr. Who? ..why US tv markets brought us the dopey, and useless "Gilligan's island"? Our own choices in what we like or pursue are as arbitrary as the next. How is it that God's decisions on what he creates become subject to your criticisms. Who are you to question him on his choices or me on mine when I create something. That I create something is enough. Why is really none of your business unless I decide you need to know or I care to tell you. That's not to be harsh; but, somehow common sense is the first thing you throw out the door and beg credulity on.. As for what I believe or not, please don't put words in my mouth in building strawmen. If you want to use the term "magical", that isn't in the realm of science is it. And for that matter, not much in the article is in the realm of science. I'd have to reread; but, the science ended when they stopped noting what they found and started rationalizing and stating factually what it meant as though they had any clue. They don't. And that's the point. It's a belief system and a religion. This is not science.
