Mr. Comatose,
God Created the
platypus (Genesis 1:24). You are right: it is
a soulless automaton (Genesis 1:28), a
beast. However, God did not Create it to be a sand-digger but
an aquatic animal (due to which some consider that it might have been Created as early as Genesis 1:20 but as it is an air-breather, leading Creation Scientists find it more plausible that Genesis 1:24 includes
Ornithorhyncus anatinus). Actually, God Created its bill with
electroreception that is
useful in the Alpine murky Austrian waters, not sand-digging. It is to
locate prey. Please,
do check your information before posting, as your failures to understand the very basics of
Creation Science do not make your credentials regarding
Scripture very plausible.
Platypuses were also present as
an Ark Kind during the
Flood (Genesis 7:21-22) although some Creation Scholars have argued that as an aquatic Mosaic Created Kind it
might have survived the floodwaters also being freely pelagic. I'm sure this will be
resolved in no time. However, things changed after the Flood with
Genetic Entropy. The platypus could not actually
sin but that doesn't mean it would have been
unaffected by the
sin of the first woman (Genesis 3:6). On the contrary,
all Creatures suffer from degeneration because of the sin. Thus,
sin is an integral part of the platypus's state of existence. This is also clearly stated in the
Bible:
Romans 8:22
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Platypus is among "the Whole Creation", hence, it is affected. And
sin can accumulate in various places, also as memes. These memes can be attached to animals as names or evil entities and cause
irrevocable damage on the Creatures that matter:
men with corruptible souls.
This is
no joking matter. Children and adolescents may start
experimenting with
unnatural sexual acts because they are lured by these Creatures that are also Corrupted as seen in the verse above.
Please do not play with matters that you do not understand!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
