We have a name for the species, genus, class, family etc. It is the last of its kind, but it wasn't always. It's unique today. It is furry, has mammary glands and a beavers tail like a mammal. Yet it lays eggs, has a bill and webbed feet like a duck.
I'll ask again: What 'kind' is it?
You don't have a name for the 'kind' do you? Does this not demonstrate that the classification system used by science is superior to your religions system of kinds? I could name a hundred other species for which you have no 'kind' name for.
What part of "I don't know" don't you understand? What I am quite sure of tho..is whatever produced it was not a different "kind" than it is..and I wouldn't bet any money on it producing a non-platypus at any point in the future.
