*LAUGHS!*

Actually, as a Deist, I am capable of believing in a form of "Evolutionary Creationism," and I think that that cartoon may be closer to the truth than we realize.

Picture this scene, roughly 64 million years ago....

God: "YO! Aziraphael! Come here!"
Az: "Yeah, boss?"
God: "What's the status of Planet 3, Star 24,308,331,302, Galaxy 456,981,003,776?"
Az: "Hmm... let's see... largely tropical, supercontinent breaking up into fragments, large numbers of a lot of species of reptilian life, a few primitive mammals, that's about it."
God: (sighs) "Anything getting smart?"
Az: "Doesn't look like it. We're guesstimating that there's a .00042% chance that one of the raptor species MIGHT reach sentience... eventually."
God: "No, No, that's not good enough odds. Hmm. Okay, here's what we do. You know those leftovers out in the cometary halo?"
Az: "Yeah?"
God: "Gimmie a chunk, say, 20 kilometers wide. Bring it in... let me see that map... oh, right on that little peninsula. That should be enough. We'll start over again with those little shrew things. Bump up their adaptability a bit, let's go for bipeds. I haven't done bipedial mammals in AGES."
Az: "You're the Boss, Boss."

Out in the Oort cloud, a big ice ball gets a little unseen nudge...

I remember that cartoon when it was originally in the newspaper... It was funny then, and it's funny now. *L*
