[…] blog Young Australian Skeptics gives a scathing and pretty spot on review of After Eden, a Christian anti-evolution webcomic. I suppose there had to be one out […]

Yes admin does ad that :P. I could automate it but I didn’t want people who wanted to remain anon to be called out basically :P.

@RainbowSnake:

I tag most of my posts ‘richard’ — makes it easy to find stuff I’ve written. Occasionally I forget, though (looking at the Steven Hawking news).

That said, sometimes ‘by Richard’ appears beneath the title as well. I’ve always assumed that admin adds that.

When I first saw After Eden it took me quite a while to be convinced it was actually from AiG. It projects on such a massive scale the likes of which I have never seen before, I found it hard to believe it wasn’t a horrible HORRIBLE case of Poe. In fact, I’m still not convinced. I still often find myself wondering which person is using Poe’s Law so effectively that he or she has convinced the people at AiG to brand something so obviously and blatantly fake with their website details.

Ewww! Pretty creepy-gross!

Kinda like the grand-daddy of them all, Jack Chick tracts

(They’re all creepy but “Dark Dungeons” is quite infamous in its own right)

I know they used to get handed out at some unis by the fundy groups and others would collect them thinking they were funny … but is it better to throw them away?

BTW how can you tell someone called Richard wrote this post? It seems to be anonymous.

It’s clearly a subtle parody, like Conservapedia. Remember, fundamentalists can’t understand satire or parody (or sarcasm for that matter), so therefore it must be parody!

God Bless Poe’s law.

What the hell, Richard!? How dare you slag off on After Eden, clearly the greatest internet publication of all time? Look at those drawing skills. Look at the witty and subtle nuances of the underlying subtext. This is clearly a parody of creationism, so well done that even AiG was fooled and still continues to be.

Oh, wait, did I say that out loud? Dammit, now they’re going to know… Oh shi–
