What a ridiculous mistake to make. Blazing Saddles is far more "inspired."

On the other hand, both have the ability to make you laugh at how silly they can be.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Why would feet be a euphemism for genitals?

Yeah that sucks that he was punished for such a small thing. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be like the straw that broke the camels back or what, since Yahweh certainly didn't tell the guy to break the ten commandments.

I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.

I like pointing out to Jewish/Christian believers that Genesis says Adam and Eve were vegetarians. Everyone remembers what God told them NOT to eat, but nobody ever remembers the line where he tells them what they should eat. As a vegetarian, this is just a really useful line to know about when religious people act like there's something wrong with my diet.
