Let Them Eat Peanut Butter and Bananas
Check out this entry over at scienceblogs.
Apparently, the theory of evolution posits that if you open enough jars of peanut butter, you’ll find a new lifeform. I believe that’s somewhere in the end notes.
The funniest part is the beginning though.
“Any theory about the origin of life on the earth… is a fairy tale.” (Does that include creationism?)
Evolution: it’s so obvious… it’s a fairy tale, pure and simple!
Fairy tales and evolution, after all, are ancient folk stories written down at some point and compiled into a volume of moral lessons and parables in the context of pseudo-historical events and read to children too young to know better. Not like religion at all, which is solidly founded on observation, reason and science.
And bananas are perfectly designed by God for humans. That God… he’s so thoughtful. That’s probably also why he makes antifreeze taste so sweet. Just make sure those perfectly-designed fruits aren’t forbidden!
