Jokes on Evolution: Two butterflies were chatting about Evolution...

[Gottservant]

...one butterfly says to the other "Boy, I'm sure glad no one tried to tell me about Evolution when I was putting my cocoon up."

The other one says "Yeah, you sure can't leave everything up to Darwin, I almost thought I would just become a butterfly without doing anything".

-=======================

Ok, so naturally only Christians are going to find this thread funny. But please, post your jokes.

Typically jokes have the structure "introduction... hook... progression... punchline". You can focus on the fact that Evolution has no telos, that it proceeds by mutation, that you can adapt anything you want, there are a whole host of openings.

Since we are sharing this space, it makes sense that Evolutionists should be able to post jokes too. However, since we can't depend on Evolutionists to keep them clean, I hereby specify that they should be limited to conversations between creatures and they should be realistic for that creature. That way, if people get hurt (which they do) at least it is constrained to the topic of nature.

While we are on the topic of constraints, I suggest you keep from commenting on the jokes without joking yourself. Otherwise, it will just become a big debate session and I am tired of that. In other words, embrace your flaws Evolutionists, but keep it civil. Christians laugh all you want, but keep the jokes coming.

Thanks for your contribution.

Mixing up development with evolution is not funny. It just shows everyone how little you know about both. You should try to learn the difference one of these days.

One day a zookeeper noticed that one of his orangutans was reading two books: the Bible and Darwin's, The Preservation of Favoured Races.

In surprise, the zookeeper asked him why he was reading them.

"Well," said the orangutan, "I just want to know if I am my keeper's brother, or my brother's keeper."

At least he read both. Good start. And by the way, the title of Darwin's book is "The Origin of Species". This is the subtitle: "by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Picking a portion of the subtitle and presenting it as the title is a dishonest quote mine.

Evolutions get things mixed together all the time. Usually they mix truth in with error.

False accusation.

I know what the title is.

Yes it is, in your mind, isn't it?

The Bible supports evolution!

 

[Mr Strawberry]

I know what the title is.

Then use it.

 

[AV1611VET]

Then use it.

No.

I don't get it.

Do butterflies put up cocoons? I thought that was the caterpillar.

That made me grin.

Translation: Before evolution people were allowed to think for themselves. Now they have to let Big Brother do their thinking for them.

Most Christians have not fallen for neo-creationism. They are not stupid enough.

Creationism today has to fit the evidence that we have today. So we can not always get a lot of help from theories in the past that did not have to deal with what we have to deal with today. Good the Bible is made new for every generation and we do not have to rest on our traditions.

I don't get it.

That is because you expect a joke to make sense and/or be funny.

In hindsight I disagree.

AV1161VET's joke was rather clever. Quite worthy of a laugh.

Now I think his reach for obscurity with his choice of titles would have been far better served by using "The Descent of Man' instead of the subtitle of 'The Origin of Species'.

And I found the contrast between a clever creationist and a blind one amusing.

I'm also betting AV1611VET can come up with some kind of follow up joke. There has to be something he can do with Darwin choosing DESCENT in the title. (Specially since it seems a large number of the people who even know about that work use 'ascent' just as many insert 'the' into the title of the other work).
