That just brought to mind such a sick scene...
The resurrected Jesus shows up to the gathered apostles, and asks the doubting Thomas to check his wounds so as to be convinced that it's the risen Christ. In front of the rest of the gathering, Thomas takes him up on the offer.
Thomas: *poking fingers in the hole in Jesus' hand* Hah! That's so crazy...
Jesus: Whoa, dude, take it easy. That hurts, you know.
Thomas: *turns to the others* Check it out, guys! I'm fingering the hole!!!
Thomas: *collapses from laughter*
Apostles: *collapse from laughter*
Guests: *collapse from laughter*
Jesus: Fuck you guys, I'm going home!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
