Peter: "Then over millions of years evolution took its course." A fish is shown emerging from water and changing into a dinosaur. Peter: "Of course I'm obligated by the state of Kansas to present the Church's alternative to the theory of evolution." A genie (ala I Dream of Jeannie) is shown coming from water and poofing into existance a rabbit, a deer, an owl, a bear, a dog, a man, a car, a gas pump, Jesus with a giant "USA #1" foam hand, and Santa Claus.
Family Guy Does It As Well
It's already been mentioned that the Simpson covered evolution tonight. However, Family Guy touched on it as well.

You left out that he said he was "legally required by the state of Kansas to mention the church's version."
I agree, it was pretty funny.

whoops, somehow I missed that you said that. I blame this extra-strength Molson XXX.

Aha! Behold the power of the evolutionist monopoly on the media: both The Simpsons and Family Guy. Creationists must tremble at our power!

The Simpsons and Family Guy versus Fox News. I don't know which one is more powerful.

I love The Family Guy. The "Godfather" conversation at the end of the episode was ridiculously banal. Perfect.
For the perfect antidote to tonight's fun, check out the reruns on C-SPAN of John McCain's disgusting Falwell Buttkiss. He pulls the levers for every known fundamentalist platitude pellet, non-stop, spending a great deal of time talking about subjects of which Falwell and his cohorts know very little: honesty and tolerance.
Perhaps next he'll visit Afghanistan and give the same speech to an Al Qaeda training camp. I'm sure it would go over just as well.

Congrats to Steve Reuland.
The Family Guy episode seems to be much closer to reality than reality itself.
When Science truth AND Political truth are presented on the same stage and how that staged illusion is what IS ACTUALLY perceived by the Hoi Poloi AS reality. Another case of art not imitating but simply reflecting life, at the same time lampooning idiocy with an acid dose of the unpleasant reality behind the illusion.
Art can say with a few images what science can't say with a ship full of books.
If it only causes a tiny bit of self reflection in those that are unable to see through the institutional delusion of 'the one true word' of the deniers then they have succeeded.
Of course only 3% of the Fox Clown Circus agree with that fact.
.
...Lets hope their little clown cars don't run out of hackneyed babble (....er foolish lies) and actually allow the masses to see through the 'Nobel Lie'......for their own good, you understand. What would become of the poor trodden down powers that be?
Sell all their stocks and invest in canned food and shotguns?
No they will continue to subvert the system...for our own good OF COURSE.

Regarding NCSE Steve #740, Steve Reuland:
I decided to get a Ph.D. just so I could be on the list.

Just the threat of a lawsuit, Chris. Fox took exception to the portrayal of their news as being (gasp!) somewhat biased (using somewhat in the sense of "somewhat pregnant," of course). There's an article about it here.
I especially liked the mock news bulletin, "Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple."
Adam · 16 May 2006
Yeah, I thought it was much funnier than the Simpsons, who seem to have lost their touch, IMHO.
