Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 01, 2014

Must be written from a Creationist point of view.Gosh, the stories they tell!

Did you see the expression on her face? If that is the face of someone with a crush, I’d hate to see her expression if she’s angry…

Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large groups…of Republicans. If you want real science, study the correlation between Fox News commercial breaks and creationist dimbulbs posting on the net.

Maybe some day you God-haters will attempt to reconcile the growth of complexity in the universe since the moment of your own scientific account of creation with the theory of Entropy. But do us all a favor – try to make it believable, not just some total fabrication. Let me know when you’re done.

The report can be filed under the Weird science category.

Wow: Sound like you had a great education and wonderful memories: Makes for a full life!

… Jeffrey’s not just laughing at Danae’s report, you know….

argythree, never met a woman before, eh?

We had one Jesuit teacher in high school. He actually wanted us to think and ask questions. Quite a refreshing change from the nuns I had in elementary school.

i don’t hate God believers, i just think they are deluded children in need of a “Bad” Daddy figure. a shame they take others so personally. Believing in a fantasy figure is their right.

Danae has a great future with the Fossil Fuel industry.

see what you started Danae……a bunch of slugs came out from under the rocks

I have now read the strip ten times, searching for any hidden or coded references to creationism, and I have yet to find one. My, the conclusions that people on the internet jump to! There might be a research project in that!

In Danae’s case, I’d actually expect the hysterically funny science to be more about aliens or phlogiston or something like that. Seems more in keeping with her character.

Someone is not on the same wavelength. Two people singing different tunes in unison.

I’m not a god-hater. I’m above hating fictional characters.

akwolffan: I didn’t have to go to religious schools (except undergraduate and seminary back when SMU was still Methodist). Growing up in a parsonage with a father who had three upper Cretaceous fossil discoveries to his credit was sufficient education that science/theology was no dichotomy.

I am constantly amazed by (and sometimes a bit envious of) the absolute certainty displayed by evangelists (both Christian and Atheist). These guys KNOW, beyond any shadow of a doubt, things that strike me as fundamentally un-knowable and untestable. The more I study the Universe and the Sacred Writings, the more I discover how small we are, how little we know, and how vast are the mysteries, and as a result I’m reluctant say I know much of anything with any certainty—except, perhaps, that I don’t know enough to tell other people what they should believe. I’m pretty certain of that.

But that’s probably just me, and I’m pretty certain one of the evangelists will soon be coming along to correct me.

I’m loving some of your phrases a lot, like ‘Men wrote the Bible. God wrote the rocks. Creationists deny the rocks and worship the Bible’.-Permission to use those phrases myself in future, please?!

Why does everyone insist that it was either one and not both; after all the is God and there is the meglomanic Lucifer. God created and Lucifer manipulated.

It’s perfectly fine with me if you believe in Creationism. Just don’t call it science.

On the other hand, I saw an ad recently from the “Freedom From Religion Foundation” in which they claim that 93% of “elite” scientists don’t believe in God. They go on to name a number of notable scientists (all dead) who didn’t believe in God.

If they are asking me to not believe in God on the say-so of a half dozen dead scientists, then I might as well believe in God on the say-so of dozens of dead prophets. Both have equal scientific worth.

This is a COMIC strip people !!!!!!Please accept it as such

All rocks go to Heaven.

She’s going to make a great Tea Party Republican.

“Creationism is very very VERY bad science and worse theology. Men wrote the Bible. God wrote the rocks. Creationists deny the rocks and worship the Bible. They are hell-bound heretics, one and all. ".I’m an atheist who teaches at a Jesuit university. We don’t share religious beliefs, but it’s a great values fit. Jesuits rock.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. IT’S A COMIC! TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE!!

.I wonder if Danae’s teacher is going to laugh? Or the principal when she gets sent to the office?

Thanks for the new term — love it!

puddleglum1066: Have you read Thomas Huxley’s essay “On Agnosticism”? That’s where the word was coined, but it was immediately distorted to “duh, I don’t know whether God exists or not.” What “Darwin’s Bulldog” meant was that God can neither be proved nor falsified by scientific evidence, so stop trying to use science that way and use it for what can be proved or falsified by it. Theology is a matter of faith, which ever way your faith directs you, and science is irrelevant either way. But that does not mean that one belief is as good as another.

Also remember his remark to his partner when Soapy Wilburforce demanded to know whether he claimed descent from apes on his mother or father’s side: scripture “Truly the Lord has delivered him into our hands.” Then rose to deliver the coup de grace that won the debate.

Those two short half panels say it all. … I can see Danae and Jeffery as a married couple. Not sure for how long – but they will be annoying each other for years to come.

I wrote 2 paragraphs about God at truehappy.net. Anyone who is interested please read.

And you think “God” is a mortal man behind a curtain manipulating dials levels to create a light show, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I’d still like to see you try to reconcile Entropy theory with the ever more complex Universe that has been developing for billions of years. And by the way – you know nothing of my views of God, only that I am a believer.

There are plenty of Believers who are not creationists. Like you said – man wrote the Bible, God wrote the rocks. I’ve said the same thing, or pretty close to it, many times. The comments I was responding to were by people who would challenge the notion that God wrote the rocks. The people I was responding to would contend that the rocks assembled themselves.
