Jesus: "What is your name?"
Demons: "Legion, because we are many. Oh, hey, Jesus?"
Jesus: "Yes?"
Demons: "We know that we're like, demons and shit, right? But we don't want to pay the price of being demons. How about you let us possess that massive herd of swine that the locals rely on for food and methane?"
Jesus: "Well, that's totally not fair, seeing as how I drowned a whole world for less than that..."
Demons: "LOL we know!!! We saw that. Coolest thing ever. But seriously, can we?"
Jesus: -sigh- "Fine, but try not to--"
Pigs: *stampede over a hill to their deaths*
Jesus: "Fucking assholes. They do this every goddamn time..."

"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."
