* [http://www.theonion.com/articles/eons-of-darwinian-evolution-somehow-produce-mitch,17635/ One article] in ''[[The Onion]]'' had a [[Straw Loser]] whose very existence was an affront to both the theory of evolution (what purpose can this guy possibly serve?!) ''and'' the existence of a kind and loving god (If we're made in God's image, well...), with each side parading him around as the ultimate argument against the other. |
