Default Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain

A steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small Tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of Charles Darwin—author of The Origin Of Species and founder of the modern evolutionary movement—made manifest on a concrete wall in downtown Dayton.

"It's a stain on a wall, and nothing more," said the Rev. Clement McCoy, a professor at Oral Roberts University and prominent opponent of evolutionary theory. "Anything else is the delusional fantasy of a fanatical evolutionist mindset that sees only what it wishes to see in the hopes of validating a baseless, illogical belief system. I only hope these heretics see the error of their ways before our Most Powerful God smites them all in His vengeance."


Oh Great Cebola, løg, oignon, cipolla, Zwiebel !

I'd like to be the first to reach out to our Darwinian overlords.

I've met some "evolutionists" who would behave exactly like that, so my heart skipped a beat when I read the description

Great article by the Onion

Wow Cheese it's been a while since you took something out of context to "Prove" how stupid people who believe in fairytales are.

Guess that wasn't working so you went straight to posting FICTION as though it were an actual quote from a member of something you hate.

Well done sir.

That all being said, that's one hell of a funny article.

Oh I got it, but it isn't the most obvious thing, which at least one person missed, and I'm sure you'd have never put such a clever link if you'd known that it'd be easy for people to ignore it and just read the quote you put down, and think that this was real and that some evangelical was being ######ed. I suppose you'll now acknowledge that this is an easily made mistake and change your original post to point out that it's satire right? Or does the humanist mantra prohibit that?

I am pretty sure that almost everyone who posts a thread about an Onion article never says its from the Onion, that's kind of half the joke.

If I didn't see green text here I am bad. But you are suggesting that a oil stain in the shape of Darwin would excite logical people who prefer reason/logic over blind faith?
