As Robin Williams said, if you want evidence that God gets high just look at the platypus: “We’ll take a beaver’s body and then stick on a duck’s bill… and get this: it’s a mammal, but it lays eggs! Hey Darwin… Nyahhh!!!!” : ))
Kid: How does the platypus refute Darwin? It seems an obvious link between oviparous and viviparous, like the echidna (which carries its egg in a belly fold) is a link between the platypus (which leaves its eggs in its nest) and the marsupials which give birth to a fetus, which completes the maturation to viability in the marsupium.
Biggest problem with Darwin is that there should be in-betweeners and extremely near relatives all over the place. It isn’t just humans that have a missing link. There are missing links all over.
Strange how magicianists (those who believe God creates by waving a magic wand because that is how they would if they had the power) can attack orderly creation by the eternal for whom time is irrelevant (evolution), claiming missing links all over the place, while denying links as irrelevant. Read Stephen Jay Gould’s “punctuated stasis” explanation.
I am ordained and never had a problem with evolution because my clergyman father had three upper cretaceous fossils to his credit. As astronomer Harlow Shapley told a woman who questioned how he could believe in a personal God in the immensity of the universe, “Madam, it depends on how big a God you believe in.”
