Excellent work by The Onion here.. It poses the question of what would happen if a Charles Darwin shaped stain was discovered on the wall of the courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee (scene of the famous "Scopes Monkey Trial") Would thousands of Biologists and Zoologists flock to the site to lay wreaths of flowers and hold candle-light vigils? Would the evangelical religious types claim that the stain was just a stain and nothing more, would the faithful flock argue over whether the stain might actually look more like Stephen J. Gould or perhaps Carl Sagan? No, we all know the answer, it's the same reason that Science and Religion aren't compatible, unless of course, your brain can cope with a huge quantity of cognitive dissonance, something most religious people seem to have no problem with, bless.
