What a poor pick for an animal to attempt to disprove evolution. To me, it is one that I would use to indicate simillarity between mammals, reptiles, and birds.

The Expanding Earth theory makes more sense than Pangaea Theory. It would explain why all early earth fossils were creature lived exclusively underwater. Think of the planet swelling, displacing the oceans as it bloats outward. Maybe continental drift is a kind of "stretch mark".
I dunno, it's just a thought worth provoking.

What a load of waffle with contradictions incorporated into your video. The genome buzz word is the latest cunningly deceptive way of evolutionary smoke and mirrors. The platypus is much more complex than your simplistic reasonings.

I live in Australia, I have seen them for myself.
They look like small, furry lizard. It has EVERY characteristic a lizard has, yet it has fur.
Where in this video exactly, is there any deception going on?
"Genome is the buzz word"
Maybe because it was only discovered in last 10 years. DNA, within the last century.
I mean , who the fuck do you think you are?
Stay the fuck away from legitimate science
Ignorant piece of shit. Meanwhile,you sit wonder why people like you are laughed at.
