Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 20, 2005
Transcript:
"I have a truism to declare." "Oh, great." "In the end, we are all forgotten...hence, we might as well spend our lives sitting in front of the T.V. drinking beer and eating nachos." "Is that so?" "Yes...case in point...can you name nayone from the 1700's?" "Of course I can...probably over 100 people. So there." "The 1400's?" "At least ten or twelve." "The fourth century B.C." "Well...maybe a couple." "The seventh century B.C.?" "Uhhh...well...no." "The eigth?" "...uhhh...no..." "So...even if you were the greatest poet or artist or architect or king in the entire eighth century B.C., a guy as smart as my friend goat, living in the twenty-first century, DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME!...It's as if you NEVER existed!!!" "...Got any more nachos?"

Especially because the only thing we know about you from your comments is that you’re a atheist. And that since our beliefs don’t click with yours, we’re wrong. But if evolution IS true, then we won’t go to hell or anything, so what does it matter? To you, it shouldn’t make a difference in the end.

First of all, nobody can make real friends over an internet comic site, second, nobody can prove weather the Christian Faith or any other religion is right or wrong based on available evidence, thirdly, this is a COMICS website! Do we really have to get into the fundamentals of religion because of one tiny comment!?!?! Finally, the comments are for stating opinions, and Dawkins fan did just that.

We don’t need a religious debate people. But since we have one, I’s like to say something: religion and science concepts like evolution and a four billion+ year old earth are not entirely mutually exclusive.

First of all, OH MY GOD GOAT AGREED WITH RAT! Second, Jesus died in A.D. 6, so Adam and Eve were dead. And third, OH MY GOD GOAT AGREED WITH RAT!!!

In fairness, I’ve heard of King Tut and he’s considerably older than 800 B.C.E.
