[part of a much longer rant]

Now this is curious.....why would all species of frogs lay eggs, except one? Taken from "The Great Evolution Mystery" by Gordon Rattray Taylor

Then there is the puzzling frog discovered in the mountain meadows of New Guinea, which Professor Etienne Wolff described in 1971 under the rubric "The Big Problems posed by a little Frong." Unlike all other frogs, which lay eggs, Nectophrymoides occidentalis brings forth its youth alive. That implies a womb, a placenta, a yolk sac and other modifications, for which it must possess the genes. (SS: or not) Are they present in other frogs unactivated? If so, why have they been activated in this one species? On the evolutionary scale it has jumped a few million years. Similarly, there is just one viviparous earwig. Or again, only one shark in the genus Mustelus has a placenta, although they all live in an identical environment, namely coastal waters.

Speaking of frogs, if you go here: http://www.answersingenesis.org/crea...15/i2/frog.asp you'll learn of actually another frog who gives birth to live young -- but these frogs give birth through their mouths. Go figure.

And evidently there are other organisms who just simply don't fit in with their peers. This, it would seem to me, to be difficult for ToE to explain...
