I guess he got handed the easy assignment of posting a shitty story on the web, now it's everyone else's turn to do the heavy lifting. Then again, these days the heavy lifting would probably take the form of copy-pasting that story to other sites. It's no wonder that god became so upset.
"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."
