More Miller-Urey-esque Irony

Anybody else see the irony of some brilliant scientists spending years in labs trying to prove that life arose spontaneously without the aid of intelligence?

What’s more ironic is that Harold Urey himself said:

All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that its complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did.”

Note to cartoonists: This composition is also an experiment that breaks all the comfortable cartooning rules. There. :)

Painfully Precious Public Posters

The silence of fossils allows scientists room of [sic] immense imagination.

Finally, more facts have started to creep their ugly, unwelcomed selves into science museums around the world.

(I took this picture at a large science museum in central Taiwan.)

Next thing you know people will be demanding that we put in pictures of polystrate fossils!
