A gnarwhal evolving into a quadriped would be god damn great. Or, maybe the gnarwhal evolved from a unicorn...
Easter bunnies do exist. As long as people hide eggs/jelly beans for their kids to find, they exist. As long as people wear mascot bunny costumes, they exist. As long as the playboy mansion isn't vacant on a particular weekend each spring, they exist (even if they are more artificial than real)...

Saying "God," "Jesus," "Christ," "Lord," in an expletive manner is not in breach of the third commandment. "Taking the name of YHWH in vain" is precisely that. It's using the revealed name of the tribal god of ancient Israel callously or out of an appropriate sacral context. So, in other words, NO ONE for thousands of years has ever been guilty of this silly infraction.
