Herbert Spencer would be so proud.
One quibble: evolution by natural selection isn’t the fundamental concept, it’s evolution, change, by multiple mechanisms.
The red button comic is also relevant.
Yeah, because it’s virtually impossible to teach a creationist anything.
Yeah, there’s this guy in our atheist society. Smart guy, really fun to talk with but he just cannot accept the concept of junk DNA. I have pointed out that humans have multiple copies of the vitamin C gene, none of which work, and he insists they MUST be doing something beneficial, otherwise, why would we have them? It seems he can let go of a god only by believing he is the product of a fiercely efficient evolution.
Wait–red button comic?
Oh. I have completely missed that for years. Thanks.
davex @2,
Holy shit. I’ve been a fan for years as well, and literally never clicked on that button.
??? It’s a big red button! Big red buttons look alarming and dangerous, which they are. Humans push them anyways.
There’s also a THIRD gag if you hover your mouse anywhere on the comic. This comic’s was “There may have been funnier joke ideas, but this is the one that got itself drawn.”
