On the Theory of Evilution?!?
For lack of anything better to do, I did a google search on Evilution. One site was here: <a href="http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/evilution.htm" target="_blank">http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/evilution.htm</a> containing:
On the Theory of Evilution by Kenneth Riven I read it twice and I’m still not sure if it’s sarcasm or the guy is a genuine nutcase. |

Go to his main site - He has some pretty funny articles.
You could tell right away it was a parady because there weren't any spelling erorrs and the grammar was good. |

The piece about the housewife being sued for $52.5 million by CBS because she didn't watch Survivor is pretty cute. Do you think I might be next?

It's sarcasm, the following line from the 'Evilution' page pretty much confirms it: Quote:

Well for a start it was really not entirely Darwin's theory at all. The world had reached such an epidemiological flashpoint with the discovery in the 1850s of the gorilla, and natural historian exploring the natural world with renewed frenzied vigor there were many others paralleling Darwin's thinking at the time. The most notable was Alfred Wallace stationed at Malaya. He was totally independent of Darwin and formulated a very similar theory, and even if Darwin died in a shipwreck on his Beagle, then Alfred Wallace would of taken the credit for it. The thing is, Darwin was really in a panic to publish his Origin of a Species because he knew there were many others out there to beat him to the punch.
So we will still have a theory of evolution Darwin or no Darwin because evolution is an intrinsic property of nature, but would we still have Christianity Jesus or no Jesus. I doubt because Christianity is not an intrinsic property of the natural world. crocodile deathroll |

It's obviously a humourous article, I found it hilarious.
