 How awesome are God's creatures?

God knew that someone would make fun of the platypus. But to make sure that this did not carry over into violent bullying, the platypus was made with venomous spurs on its hind legs. Platypus venom isn't poisonous, but it is so extremely painful to us humans that the pain lasts for at least a month...and it isn't treatable. Go ahead, try bullying a platypus up close: you'll regret it for the rest of your life

 What's your thoughts on theistic evolution ? I don't think i've ever heard you or Miles really explain it or if you did I would like to listen to that episode. 

My guess is the timeline for evolution and more specifically speciation (millions of years) conflicts with the biblical timings for the creation of creatures?
