Evolution and Intelligent Design "Humor"

Having lurked through the recent vitriole on evolution, intelligent design, etc., I'm just submitting a little humor on the subject (and, yes, it is just a little humor).

You're telling me that God placed man's testicles in a vulnerable position on the outside of his body. Now, is that really intelligent design?

[NJ_gent]

It is if God's a woman. :)

[Wneighbor]

I think I agree with that belligerent design theory.

[Wneighbor]

Good point!

[Slings and Arrows]

In my experience, it's rock-hard fact.

[Wneighbor]

I need to print that out and adorn my briefcase with it.

If we were intelligently designed, our noses wouldn't be directly positioned over our mouths so that, should a runny nose develop, snot would inevitably drip down into our mouths.

[Non-Sequitur]

Probably one of the better evolution/intelligent design threads I've seen to date.

The first "pro-evolution" cartoon sums up pro-evos fairly well. Only in an imaginary world where orangutans talk to each other about us and our "intelligence" can evolution make sense.

[js1138]

scaly orangutans alert.

[blowfish]

Actually, ID *is* humor.

Regardless of which side you're on, you must agree that those creationist cartoons are the lamest, most tiresome, unfunny cartoons EVER. Why is that?

I think it's because creationists' task is to defend religious dogma, so they don't dare deviate from accepted doctrine. But evolutionists' task is simply to develop a better understanding of the truth, so we have much more freedom to play with what we believe to be the true history. We know that the search for truth is a journey, and as long as we have that goal in mind, there's no risk of eternal damnation, etc. if we make a mistake. IOW, there's not nearly the intensity of moral risk involved.

(I'm just brainstorming here. :-)

Take a deep breath and relax Jen. They're only cartoons...which, contrary to your demand, I found quite funny.

[jennyp]

NEVER!!!
