The first (non-living) platypus specimens reaching Europe in the 1790s where thought faked, yes. When should evolution have predicted this? It was already history in Darwin's day.
How does evolutionary theory tell us what the next previously undiscovered life form will be? Why haven't you answered my question on what is wrong with the argument "So, one day a snake gives birth to a bird. But where O where is there another little bird for it to mate with?"
After all, you already must be something of an expert on evolution. You know all that weary stuff we've presented on these threads over and over.
"So, one day a snake gives birth to a bird. But where O where is there another little bird for it to mate with?"
Did you really want an answer to that? You obviously have way too much time on your hands. Maybe you could volunteer to teach science at your local high school.
