Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 02, 2014

That’s cinches it. That is an evil gnome disguised as a kid.Must have been swapped at birth.Somewhere there is a gnome couple with a smart, sweet kid, and they are looking for their receipt.

She just made Jeffery with a booger?

Hey, people, what shall we talk about today? How ‘bout them Tigers, eh? How much is the price of tea in China? Read any good books lately? Is God a woman with allergies? When was the last time she had a mammogram? Is God, both male and female like a flower? It would make sense, most of creation is male and female….Why rule out a Male God working together with a Female God? (That would make a total of six) Fie if Jesus is bi…I’ve heard that Mrs. Holy Ghost is nice, even if she is a little creepy… We were made in God’s image and likeness…So God looks like Katie Perry? Cool!

Does anybody remember a child’s book called “The Glob”? Written by John O’Reilly, illustrated by Walt Kelly. I couldn’t help being reminded of it. I loved reading it as a kid, and reading it to my kids. (We still use the term “cautious Glob” as a family joke.) Just wondering if anyone else remembers it? Link

The ‘Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy’ says:“The Jatravartid People of Viltvodle Six firmly believe that the entire universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called The Great Green Arkleseizure. They live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming Of The Great White Handkerchief.”

Way to plagiarize, Danae.

To think that back in school I thought that it was impossible to screw up an oral report. I guess I was wrong.

@Alexikakos

Thanks for finding that, Alexi! That whole magazine is a lot of fun to look at. : )

Isn’t that the Great Green Arkleseizure?Which would make us the Jatravartids and our planet Viltvodle VI!

And Hydrogen was the first atomic particle, and force created a weakness in the shell of Hydrogen, and made Helium, and set them within the universe to be such, but only if they could resist collective centralization and fusion.They could not, of course.You don’t have to believe it, of course. It is a ridiculous story.

Ha! (chuckling)

So if God is specifically female, sneezed (not all powerful if she’s got a cold or allergies), and her mucus made man, and, following the theme, woman is created from some part of a man, that still is uncomplimentary to Danae’s cause.

You think it is the story of creation, but it’s snot

A). Ra-dish – excellent!B). Danae regularly asserts her belief that all boys are booger brains and in general snot-based life forms. I may not be able to argue against her reasoning.C). I feel compelled to note that not all religious people are creationists. Indeed, many many Christians, Jews, and Muslims (and undoubtedly folks of other faiths) are perfectly comfortable with the big bang and evolution. For what it’s worth, faith deals with the “Who” and perhaps the “Why” and the “What does it mean” of life. Science is the “How” (at least) of life. Were I Danae’s teacher, I would not accept her story either.

I know there is a Santa, cus I saw him at the Mall, that’s why I can believe in a God!

For those of who claim to be knowledgeable in the book Genesis of the christian bible then you might notice that if Adam was made in the image of God then he would have been a non-gender specific like the angels. When God created Eve from Adam’s rib, Adam lost some genes and became known as male and Eve became know as fe-male.

As for Danae’s science report all I can say is that an imagination is nothing to sneeze at.

Now Danae’s hypothesis seems to be mocking the myth. We will havta see, maybe a surprise awaits.

jmarkoff2: But they do. Just recently, the Pope changed doctrine to accept a heliocentric solar system. (Of course, most Christians had done so long ago.) Even more ironic, a Vatican canon, Nicolaus Copernicus had said the same thing before Galileo without penalty.

Oh, that’s just hilarious. Well done, Non Sequitur!

Just for a change I would like to point out that underage children do not have any rights except life and any that their parents grant them. In Michigan parents are legally responsible for the actions of the child until said child is emancipated when they are 18.

I wonder if I can become a “scientist” like Nabuquduriuzhur the same way I became a “priest” to avoid the draft in the 70s; by cutting the coupon out of the back of a magazine and sending it along with $10 for my “degree in theology”?

Cool story, bro.

PLAGIARISM – Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy anyone?

I believe this religion was described in Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy. Only it was the whole universe that was sneezed out, and it’s adherents lied in constant fear of the coming of the great handkerchief.

Galileo got it right God, via tommyjj

Between Creationists, Evolutionists, and Adamsists, I’ll take the later (as my s/n may lead you to believe.)

Angel snot??Danae might be on to something.

Will any reputable mathematician be willing to endorse the immense chain of improbable events that the random chance \ evolution model of the universe requires? I really doubt it… The odds against even the simplest amino acids randomly assembling are so off the charts, much less the increasingly complex aggregation of forms, functions, environments, etc., that result in our current conditions, that it is a much greater act of faith to endorse that scenario.

Anyone interested in my 2 paragraphs about creation at truehappy.net ? Please read.

What I love about Wiley is nothing is sacred. This isn’t how the start of life is taught in Georgia or Texas, but at least Danae has a simpler life form evolving into a more complicated life form. A D in New England, a B+ in the Bible Belt.

Ah. I see she subscribes to the same religion as the Jatravartids of Viltvodle VI. They believe the entire Universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure.

And the answer, of course, is 42.

Judging from the codex of the Church of Danae, I would have thought that man was created from the other end. Well, live and learn…

cforzetting,Evolution is not random. Energy potentials make some chemical reactions and compounds much more likely than others. Natural selection makes some life forms better suited to their environment. Outside energy drives the process so the second law of thermodynamics does not apply, except to the entire universe taken as a whole.

At leas it wasn’t the other end! lol!

Great comic Wiley!!

Another superb comic from Wiley, best seen in the responses. Only three creationists pushing their religious agenda (a sickly combination of ignorance and straw-man arguments); many people to point out how and why they are wrong (not that it will do any good; one can be sure that next time, for example, cforzetting posts on this topic, he/she will bring up the same pseudo-mathematical “objection” to abiogenesis. Will he/she have read Pross’ book What is Life? Or even looked at the results of the Miller-Urey experiments? No.). Plus, all the people who knew the convergence with the appropriate parts of Hitchhiker’s. Good show, everyone!

Meh~thodology: Gravity is a law, because it is present and functioning in the same way throughout the observable universe. Evolution is a theory because, although there is overwhelming evidence for it on this planet, and suggestions that Mars is similar, we have no evidence (yet) that it is universal throughout the universe. The creationist view that God is some sort of cosmic magician, doing an arbitrary trick now and then without reason, is at best a hypothesis, and not a very good one at that.
