This is a stupid attempt to stir up a tempest in a teapot. Neither Bush nor evolution have anything to do with the resurrection of Christ. Plenty of Christians, if not the majority, believe that it is possible or even quite likely that evolution was the very mechanism that God used for creation, and that the Genesis account is a beautiful allegory. Just because you find it impossible to believe in the Bible unless every single word is literally true doesn't mean that every Christian shares your myopia.

whoa, slow down there partner! Let's clarify a few things:
1) Trudeau obviously thinks that this topic has something to do with Easter, else why did he choose today of all days to address this topic, when so many other cartoonists are running Easter-themed cartoons.
2) I do not deny that there are many Christians that are able to reconcile Evolution with the Bible. I don't happen to be one of them, but I don't go around calling them myopic, and I wish you'd show me a similar respect.
3) What makes you think I believe "every single word" in the Bible is "literally true?" For purposes of this discussion, I merely state that I believe that Genesis chapters 1-2 are an accurate account of creation. There are plenty of words in the Bible that I don't believe are meant to be taken literally.

Your biblical erudition leaves much to be desired.

This means that a know-nothing cartoonist has turned HIS back to vast human experience and knowledge...
