DINO BIT

This is probably my best bit or at least the one people talk to me about the most. I’m reposting it because of this article I read on the NY Times about how 70 attendees from the North American Paleontological Convention in Cincinnati went to the Creation Museum. My favorite quote came from Stefan Bengtson, a professor of paleozoology at the Swedish Museum of Natural History:

Dr. Bengtson noted that to explain how the few species aboard the ark could have diversified to the multitude of animals alive today in only a few thousand years, the museum said simply, “God provided organisms with special tools to change rapidly.”

“Thus in one sentence they admit that evolution is real,” Dr. Bengtson said, “and that they have to invoke magic to explain how it works.”

I basically say the same thing in my standup. Well, I yell a lot and say “fucking retarded”, so close enough.
