Another sweetie

So-called intelligent design is a bit of a joke here at the NZBC, at least presented outside of RE classes. So here's a quite brilliant tangential spoof of it from the New Yorker. It starts like this:

Day No. 1:

And the Lord God said, “Let there be light,” and lo, there was light. But then the Lord God said, “Wait, what if I make it a sort of rosy, sunset-at-the-beach, filtered half-light, so that everything else I design will look younger?”

“I’m loving that,” said Buddha. “It’s new.”

“You should design a restaurant,” added Allah.

And if you missed Stephen's pointer to The Economist's more even-handed demolition, it's here.
