That little youtube creature is now on my list of the ten coolest animals on earth, it actually squeezed out the platypus.

I love the comment by dave7733:

Jugding from the picture I would say the power to eat human fingers the wrong way. Guess he will never
get to join any pokemón missions or whatever they do. A bit like the x-man that can change the television channel with his brain; cool skill, but you can't fight the forces of evil with it.

Ugh, this is the first, and hopefully the last time I'll ever mention pokemón and x-men in the same post.

I'm sure the one in the middle is a pokemón. I would know, I have worked in a kindergarten.

Thanks for the link, great article. That's a lesson for all of us then, always consult The Onion before making satire, in case it has been done before.

The two theories are not completely comparative though. Gravitational hand of god relates to IF like creationism do to ID. While IF claims the force acting on objects is Jesus, subscribers to the GHoG theory believe that the actual hand of god literally is pulling us down. There is also the issue of pulling versus pushing, where IF claims it is a force exerted from top down. GHoG emphasizes the pulling qualities of movement towards the ground. However, these specific predictions are the hallmarks of good scientific theories, and only time and experiments will tell us how god makes sure we don't drift away. Note that the theory of gravity proposes no mechanism for how the gravitational force is exerted.

Philip1978, it was in fact satire, but maybe it misfired. To me, "the gravitational hand of god theory", sounds totally inane. I wonder if it would be cool if someone marketed the idea though, yes-men/Sokal hoax style, and tried to integrate it as a part of the ID movement. There you go, no hurling of humorous insults. If anything, I would blame the world we live in for actually making it necessary to consider the possibility of such a proposition to be genuine.

Indeed, the origin of the first self-reproducing system is recognized by many scientists as an unsolved problem for evolution, and thus evidence for a Creator.

Hey guys, give devolved a break, the logic is pretty watertight if you just think hard enough about it. Here is another issue science have to deal with:

The problem of how gravity manifests itself is also a mystery for scientists. This clearly indicates that it is the hand of the Judeo-Christian god that pulls everything down to the center of the earth. I will call this "the gravitational hand of god theory" and demand that it is taught alongside the theory of gravity i physics classes.

8. The New Atheists loathe religion far too much to plausibly challenge it

Hysterical? Compared to a certain subgroup of christians, that have a
position in bed named after them, the very Platonic idea of hystericalness
would appear serene.
