This week I did my first bout with leaves, so it will be a recurring event through late November or early December. Meanwhile, the we’ve had good fall weather and the Reds are ahead in the playoff series that is in progress. Let me set the stage for our mid-week dose of satire.
Yesterday I posted my thoughts of the book The Faith of Scientists. Long-time visitors here know that the interchange of science and theology is high interest to me. Plus, everyone knows of the battle involving evolution.
For your mid-week dose of satire, I searched The Onion’s archives on the evolution-creation issue, and surprise – there were enough for a post. Enjoy and have a good rest of the week. Any favorite?

By the way, you’ll be doing leaves until either early October or late November? Quite the time swing there – or is your leaf bagger somehow attached to your TARDIS? 😀

I’ll admit my initial favorite was mankind not being God’s best creation, but because I hate following crowds, I’m going to go with my second favorite, and look forward to Evolution starting this Thursday. It lines up with many of my early-life confusions about Evolution.
Btw, you misspelled “bout” in the first sentence… just as a friendly heads-up!
