But God-Man, if you didn’t want them to think, why did you give them brains?.Oh, right! You weren’t thinking. Trying to set a good example, no?

Evolution is a model, as is creation. Elevating either to a theory is technically not good science. Models CAN be thought about. Evolution, by many, is a scientific fact [as is creation] I believe the emphasis of this “toon” is that it takes brain washing to accept either as a scientific fact.

Evolution is a fact. It happened and continues to happen. Natural selection is a theory about how evolution works. This theory can be tested in many ways — in petri dishes or in geological strata. Creation is just a story. It is neither a model nor is a sensible subject for scientific inquiry. However, the idea that Creation is a serious topic is laughable — the point of this cartoon.

I wandered in the darkness of ignorance until a commenter with great learning and digits after his username condescended to bestow a fragment of his limitless wisdom upon an obscure and lowly comments page. You can search high and low and never find one of these rare volunteer mentors — surely they are otherwise unknown on the internet! But fortune smiled upon me and brought me to this font of truth. I trust gocomics awards degrees to readers who have the diligence to make it to the bottom of the comments page. The only thing I don’t understand is what it the comic for?

I think that Bolling plagiarized this idea from a Chick Tract.

If it isn’t my religion, it isn’t religion. It’s just heresy or false idols. So logically, when religion is protected by the Constitution, it must be my religion.

God is real, you are a myth.

Using the Google, one can find hundreds of creation myths, each of them as equally without evidence as the ones in Genesis.
