The third in our Snarky Theology series for Lent. Round one was on how Catholics are Cannibals. Round two was some simple (Perhaps even simple minded.) thoughts on Lent itself. I had considered making this about sex, but after last week, I think I'll hold off on the incendiary topics for another week.
This week, let's take a look at evolution ... No, I don't think it's an incendiary topic.
Evolution: the premise that humans came from other species. Monkeys seem to be at the top of the list of suspects.
Apparently, it's quite important to some people.
Seriously, deeply, psychotically important.
You have the really weird creationist museum. Which should either be there as comic relief, or set on fire. Pick one.
But I've noticed there's two sides to the so-called debate, where they take the idea of evolution and decide to apply it to religion.
Creationists: The Bible is literal, but we have dinosaurs, which weren't in the bible. Which indicates a time period before the Bible, but the Bible is the end all and be all of all of history? NOOOOOOOO. How can we reconcile dinosaurs with the book? I know, dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden! Let's have Adam and Eve and a VELOCIRAPTOR! BWAHAHAHA!!
Evolunatics: God is dead! The Bible was meant as a literal chronology of all of human history, but we have dinosaurs! It's all wrong! All of it! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Then I roll my eyes, sigh, and shake my head. At the end of the day, I look at both sides, and decide that this particular asylum isn't being run by the psychologically stable.
