That man is how I imagine god to be like on the day he invented the platypus.

That makes me a sad platypus.

Today is not your day Mr Platypus *kill

The platypus was the joke part. (I think you got that);-)
Please...first that's not proving a negative. That's about understanding the definition of a word....and second it is wrong...divorced men without children (but that had been married) are bachelors, married men with a bachelor's degree are bachelors, young married knights that follow another's banner are bachelors, as are married landless knights. D'OH! ;-)
I don't have to prove the universe isn't designed, nor do I say anything that definitive. (because one could say that the laws of physics are a form of design, so in that sense I do think the universe is 'designed', but not by a 'designer god'). If you feel the need for others like me to believe as you, it's up to you to prove it IS designed, and by who.
I do say there's no need for a 'designer', and it seems incredibly unlikely as well as completely unnecessary. I will also say all I've heard about 'god' only references stories told by men long ago (or anecdote), and trying to 'prove' some of those stories is not proving god. I can't say what might prove god...if he existed omnisciently he might know, but he's keeping quiet about it! ;-)
I also say incredible claims require incredible evidence, not anecdotal 'evidence'...conversely 'that which can be asserted without evidence can be discarded without evidence.' (Hitchens)

hehe, I think the platypus is a marvel of design. Only a creative genius could come up with a duck-beaver.

You can prove a negative. Here is one: there are no married bachelors

I think it is a valid question. If you know the Universe isn't designed, what criteria are you using? What is the difference between the Universe we are living in and one that would be designed. I am wondering how people rule that out, or why they seem to think it is a ridiculous question to begin with.

jesus would have thought this was hilarious.the messiah has an incredible sense of humor..must take after his dad.have you SEEN the platypus?

It's a Holden UTE

The automobile equivalent of a platypus.

The point the video made was: we share a common ancestor with all monkeys, therefor we are monkeys. It's the same as; we share a common ancestor with all animals/vertebrates/mammals, therefor we are animals, vertebrates and mammals. So if chimpanzees all share a common ancestor with monkeys, then they are monkeys, even if they also share a common ancestor with apes and are therefor also apes.

>> ^Fusionaut:

Having a common ancestor does not mean they are the same. We share a common ancestor with all mammals yet we are not horses or pigs or dolphins or lions or platypuses et cetera...>> ^Lowen:
>> ^gargoyle:
Fact check -- chimpanzees are NOT monkeys.

In case you can't get enough P-P-P-Platypus!
