From Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True blog:
The Oatmeal’s sacrilege steams up believers
Matthew Inman, producer of the fantastic strip The Oatmeal (including one of my favorite comics, The Bobcats), is lately on a tear by promoting evolution in a sarcastic way and dissing the religious alternative as belief in “Jibbers Crabst,” a Holy Crustacean that breathes fire.
First watch this 11-minute video by Inman that appeared on YouTube on December 5; it’s from BAHFest West 2014, whatever that is. You’ll recognize some of the creationist tropes. It’s a wonderful and absolutely hilarious talk, highly recommended by Professor Ceiling Cat.
Be sure to watch the sign-language woman, too; you’ll learn how to make signs for “priapism” and “persistent erection,” which I think amused the audience no end.
