You know, this picture has always killed me.
It pretty much says everything that needs to be said about Creationism, the Religious Right, and the intelligence-insulting “debate” about teaching Intelligent Design in classrooms.
But it occurs to me, it’s relatively easy to illustrate that inherent flaw in the concept, the evidence, right on the surface, that reveals how wrong this depiction is: everyone knows Jesus was black.
(Oh yes I did.)
For a more articulate (and wordless) deconstruction, we turn to Charlie Mingus.
The composition, “Pithecanthropus Erectus”, from the album of the same name. The year, 1956. So much has changed; so little has changed. Mingus remains unassailable.
