Darwin’s motivation

For some time now I have been convinced that Darwin’s original and most pressing problem was not adaptation. It was the existence of taxonomic diversity.

  1. That is the funniest post-title and post that I’ve seen in regards to this Mr. Diety episode! Well done.

  2. Oh, that’s deity. Not diety. Though PZ could use a little diety… 😉

  3. You know he seems much politer to the deity in person than he does on his blog. He didn’t even call him a mythical sky fairy once!

    1. That’s Paul in person. Quiet, polite and reasonable. The only sign of the madness is his love of all things cephalopodic.

  4. Once you get a job (science adviser to God, no less), all those pesky principles go out the window.

  5. ROTFLMAO… This was the Mr Deity Episode I’d hoped would come out of that meeting. I have to say, PZ was kinder and gentler than I’d imagine him to be.

    oh, and LOVED the banana!

  6. I always got the impression he is a caring person.

    He must be very effective in the lecture hall.

    1. I would say Mr. Deity’s voice is very effective at making him sound like a twit. Which is the point, after all.

      I like the Ray Comfort / banana reference at the end.

  7. Pretty amusing: “Lucy is in the details”, “P-Zed”, squid, and a comforting banana.

    Mzzyzxpks wasn’t bad…
