29 March 2002 - mildew

creationist: If evolution is so great, why is mildew ugly?
biologist: Evolution doesn’t make things perfect; after all, it made you. It only promotes success, and mildew is successful.
creationist: It would be more successful if it were beautiful. I’d never clean my shower curtain. How do you get off saying that evolution invented eyes, but can’t invent a pretty fungus?
biologist: Stramenopile. Shower curtains haven’t been around long enough for that kind of evolution.
creationist: Right, because the Earth isn’t old enough! QED!
