I laughed the first time I saw a Darwin fish, although I am Christian.

But there isn’t much question what it means. Not just “I’m an atheist/agnostic evolutionist,” but “My belief supplants and mocks your belief.”

I like the fishhook cartoon up above.

That's funny ... the first time I ever saw that symbol, I laughed, too, because I am a Christian with a decent knowledge of the theory of evolution and natural selection. I liked the symbol because to me it said, "You can be a Christian and a non-denier of evolution at the same time."

Evolution doesn't challenge God, it challenges human pride.

I have been laughing at the “fish wars” since the first variants started coming out. I’ve seen some clever variants (my favorite I think was the “gefilte fish”).

A serious threat to the Church of Christ? Nah. I don’t think this will exactly “prevail against it”.

I feel sad for those who a) believe there’s nothing more to the universe than... well, than us sorry critters who evolved from dust and b) are, yet, so insecure about that “faith” they profess, that they have a strong need to attack those of us who believe otherwise.

It is our job as Christians to show them the light with meekness and love. That’s the best thing we can do. “For it is appointed to man once to die... and then the judgment”. The atheists can do nothing to escape that outcome.

I agree there's some (gentle) mocking going on, but I think that assuming everyone with a Darwin fish is an atheist or agnostic--or assuming every evolutionist is--is a stretch.
