Now, that answers a question I’ve always wanted to know! Why were dinosaurs so mean, and carnivorous and stuff? That’s right! It’s because Adam got it on with Eve. It makes so much sense now! And just so y’all know, crabs walk sideways because of my personal disregard for the chaste life. I know, I know, you’re saying to yourself, “but my dear Lackhead, crabs have been walking sideways long before you were born!” “Tut-tut,” I reply, “when you believe the world is only 6,000 years old funny things happen with time.”

The site that hosted this cartoon, Answers in Genesis, is really a marvelous site. I’ve spent too much time reading over their extensive pages on logic and reasoning, and having a jolly good laugh over it all. One of my favorite sections though, is this one:

Evolution cannot account for fractals. These shapes have existed since creation and cannot have evolved, since numbers cannot change—the number 7 will never be anything but 7. But fractals are perfectly consistent with biblical creation. The Christian understands that there are transcendent truths because the Bible states many of them. A biblical creationist expects to find beauty and order in the universe, not only in the physical universe, but in the abstract realm of mathematics as well. This order and beauty is possible because there is a logical God who has imparted order and beauty into His universe.

Since numbers can’t evolve, biological evolution is a fallacy. And I like the implication that beauty and order are the sole domain of a Christian God. But I digress. The point of all of this is that sex is bad, m’kay? It is the original and ultimate source of all suffering.

And you wonder why our society has a messed up relationship with sex.

ps- I find it interesting to run across this site so shortly after having the privilege of hearing Cornel West speak here in Salt Lake for our University’s Martin Luther King celebration. That the same font gave rise to a mind like Dr. West’s also bares the fruit of strict dogma, intolerance and persecution, well, sometimes I find it hard to reconcile. Evidence, I suppose, that religion, like all other social constructs, is merely a tool that people may use for their own means; its use speaks volumes about the actor, and little in regards to its own nature.

pps- As an extra special bonus, here’s a great song for your enjoyment. Warning, it contains frequent and flippant use of the word “penis”, as does this parenthetical remark (penis penis penis penis penis).
