if you want truth and are ready to be fair, than i will assist you and unlike the rest of the opinions, the only time i will agree or disagree is if i can prove it.
debate is it true that evolution is a belief or is it a fact
'Evolution' the words itself, is used as a description for the observed process. Darwin did not provide the math at the atomic scale to define what he saw, nor did he coin the word evolution.
But since knowledge is 'in fact' progressing over time, does prove that 'energy' and the progression of, does evolve.
Point being, the argument as applying to living structures does have flaws in that the current sciences do not have the math to define the progression because of the limitation placed into physics by the 2nd law (planck).
So to have the argument based on the platypus being 'created' versus evolving, is limited by both side of the arguments data base.
but to comprehend, that 'words' are the creation of mankind, and evolve over time, as each new generation coins new words and definitions;
then it can be substantiated by reality that all belief systems are the creation of mankind, words, books, ideas, and renditions.
WE both know we can 'feel' existence (God) but that does not mean them having the experience had the words to define what they experienced.
That is what the progression from OT to NT proves perfectly.
just as most every religion suggests 'a new beginning' will unfold when the 'last chapter' (revealing) unfolds
(pretty much why Jesus is represented as 'he will return'.... rather than having unveiled the last chapter 2k yrs back)
the works (truth) had not evolved for the period.
