the platypus, a baby's smile, are proofs of God?
I really don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I like all of these things, and go out of my way to make babies smile, but God?

The sky is beautiful, but clouds are just water vapors. How does a tree grow? Photosynthesis. Knowing how something occurs does make it less beautiful does it?

That's really a philisophical question. You could say "because everything had to come from somewhere," but that doesn't explain where God came from.
Though the earth and the platypus are both evidence against evolution, so that could be seen as evidence for God. The oldest desert on Earth is about 4,000 years old. So is the oldest coral reef. And the platypus is a significantly complex creature, though I won't go into all the reasons it probably didn't evolve to be this way right now. Let's just say there are some pretty big flaws in the theory, which your science teach probably never told you.

Out of nothing came everything. Of course, there are people that will say there was something before that. So what did that come out of? To explain this paradox, we define a creator as God. Sorry, all you religious fanatics, but God isn't just Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu. God doesn't even have a specific gender. As a collective whole we have made God into our image in an effort to understand "Him," and I say him only because I don't want to say it, and don't have another word that would provide a conveyable description (although some people say "the creator" ). I accept that we can call this creator, God and to be able to talk amongst ourselves easily, I also accept saying him. However, I don't care if someone calls the creator Her, Fred, Your Royal Heinnie, whatever, because God is different to each individual. I don't think anyone fully understands God because if they did they probably wouldn't be human (so, it doesn't really make sense, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say). God is our definition of creator of all things we don't understand, and we specifically like to say proof of god is verified by the beauty we see in such things as a baby's smile, the trees, and earth. Oh, and of course his sense of humor in the platypi (if that's a word).

I agree with you, I don't get it either. But I do want to say something to the people responding with "golly, it's all proof cuz it's so complex" and similar answers.
The beauty we see around us is only beautiful to us because we've adapted to the environment we live in. If we were brain gobblers from Mars we'd find the sky, the earth, and the trees to be darn scary and forboding, not to mention too hot.
Also, consider this: Why does God creating the universe preclude the notion that God uses evolution as a tool? There is also this: Who said God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day? Somebody wrote that, did God bend that persons ear and say "psst, hey buddy, I made all this in six days" As for those people who believe the Earth is only 6000 years old, how do you have proof that it's any older than you yourself are?

Can you create the sky, the earth, the trees? And does the baby live to smile if you create only the genetics without the breath of life (God)? Animals like the platypus are so unique! Can you create them all?

Think of it this way, who would of known that a platypus, a mammal, can lay eggs? A baby's smile is soo angelic.. when a baby smiles, u just feel soo happy.. and the trees start as a small seed but grow to be soo tall, like the mustard seed, the smallest seed for a tree, but grows up to be one of the tallest trees!! The sky and the earth are made so perfectly, in a uniformed set of ways..with emotions.. I dunno about you.. but too me, those are just the very little things that are the proofs of God!

I don't get it either. Both the sky and the Earth are proof of gravity. Trees are proof of evolution, the platypus is proof of convergent evolution and a baby's smile is also proof of evolution. It's crazy that anyone would say they are proof of God.

I agree there's no way the earth moon & stars could stay in the sky without God. There's a lot of proof of God by looking around us. However there's some that refuse to believe that God exist but he does.

Look at the human eye. There is no substitute for it. Only God could have done such a perfect design that works in the way an eye does.

Good question - isn't it? I really hope you don't expect an answer to this one here...do you!? Some questions are subjective in life -- you have to find your own answer to this one...don't look for someone else to tell you what all these mean to you. Have the courage and motivation to find your own path to these type of questions. You are not asking us 1+1...you are asking someone to tell you what your values are...get it? Think about what I am saying...you'll get it.

No ghod(tm) no angels, no heaven or hell.
These things are all proof of evolution nothing more.
Don't try reading into the world what isn't there.
