MEMO FROM GOD
College & Science Jokes
Memo to: The members of the Kansas Board of Education
From: God
Re: Your decision to eliminate the teaching of evolution as
science.
Thank you for your support. Much obliged.
Now, go forth and multiply. Beget many children. And yea, your
children shall beget children. And their children shall beget
children, and their children's children after them. And in time the
genes that have made you such pinheads will be eliminated through
natural selection. Because that is how it works.
Listen, I love all my creatures equally, and gave each his own
special qualities to help him on Earth. The horse I gave great
strength. The antelope I gave great grace and speed. The dung beetle
I gave great stupidity, so he doesn't realize he is a dung beetle.
Man I gave a brain.
Use it, okay?
I admit I am not perfect. I've made errors. (Armpit hair--what was I
thinking?) But do you Kansans seriously believe that I
droppedhalf-a-billion-year-old trilobite skeletons all over my great
green Earth by mistake? What, I had a few lying around some previous
creation in the Andromeda galaxy, and they fell through a hole in my
pocket? You were supposed to find them. And once you found them,
you were supposed to draw the appropriate, intelligent conclusions.
That's what I made you for: To think.
The folks who wrote the Bible were smart and good people. Mostly,
they got it right. But there were glitches. Imprecisions. For one
thing, they said that Adam and Eve begat Cain and Abel, and then Cain
begat Enoch. How was that supposed to have happened? They left out
Tiffany entirely! Well, they also were a little off on certain
elements of timing and sequence. So what? You guys were supposed to
figure it all out for yourselves, anyway. When you stumble over the
truth, you are not supposed to pick yourself up, dust yourself off
and proceed on as though nothing had happened. If you find a
dinosaur's toe, you're not supposed to look for reasons to call it a
croissant. You're not big, drooling idiots. For that, I made dogs.
Why do you think there are no fossilized human toes dating from a
hundred million years ago? Think about it.
It's okay if you think. In fact, I prefer it. That's why I like
Charlie Darwin. He was always a thinker. Still is. He and I chat
frequently. I know a lot of people figure that if man evolved from
other organisms, it means I don't exist. I have to admit this is a
reasonable assumption and a valid line of thought. I am in favor of
thought. I encourage you to pursue this concept with an open mind,
and see where it leads you. That's all I have to say right now,
except that I'm really cheesed off at laugh tracks on sitcoms, and
the NRA, and people who make simple declarative sentences sound like
questions?
Oh, wait. There's one more thing.
Did you read in the newspapers yesterday how scientists in Australia
dug up some rocks and found fossilized remains of life dating back
further than ever before? Primitive, multicelled animals on Earth
nearly 3 billion years ago, when the planet was nothing but roiling
muck and ice and fire. And inside those cells was . . . DNA.
Incredibly complex strands of chemicals, laced together in a scheme
so sophisticated no one yet understands exactly how it works. I
wonder who could have thought of something like that, back then.
Just something to gnaw on.
