Transcript:
Rat: Do you believe in Darwin's theory that we evolve over time?
Pig: What does that mean?
Rat: That we change.
Pig: Yes.
Rat: Why do you say yes?
Pig: 'Cause I get fatter. Stupid Darwin.
I could bet that, by the end of the day, the comments section will turn into an angry debate between creationists versus evolutionists. It never fails.
Actually, Pig, you’re getting thinner. And I don’t mean the way Pig is drawn, either. About a hundred years ago domesticated pigs used to be twice to three times the size they are today. Bit less evolution and more breeding.
Needachuckle:Hmm. I was going to reply with the next line from the song (the one that starts with “Jocko”) and GoComic’s filter blocked it. I’ll let everyone else to google it.
“A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation. As with most forms of scientific knowledge, scientific theories are inductive in nature and aim for predictive power and explanatory capability.”
Considering that the only characters in “Pearls” who (so far) have passed down their genes to an innocent generation, would be Larry, his wife, and Cartoon Boy himself……well, I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing much improvement in the future “Pearls” herd!

When you’re a researcher and you’re on a ship called the Beagle, you try extra hard to make yourself credible.

I believe evolutionists were created and that creationists will evolve. :-)
