Creationist Art @ Ohio State?

[medliberty]

Is that where they have a dinasaure with a saddle on it?

[CKtheFat]

Nice find. I couldn't quite tell if it was tarantulas for the FSM, though.

I've been arguing this point for years and have never gotten an answer.

Christians, and Christ in particular, are not allowed to commit suicide...right - but, they want to go to heaven; so, being murdered or contracting a terminal illness should be something to celebrate - what better way to leave this supposed "miserable" world and get to heaven A.S.A.P.? If you ask me, the mythological character known as Jesus Christ was very selfish for allowing himself to be killed and go to heaven, right?

[rigobueno1]

is that in the Wexner Center?

Noice!

How fucked! Religious artists who kill Animals for art then display it. Thats like wearing fur.

Now I hate artists too especially no brain religious ones.

[dehbee]

your lesbian friend is kooolz :-p

[GretchenDawntreader]

cool, where on campus is that?

I also wonder what books Darwin was sitting on, it isn't mentioned....copies of his book? Bibles? 2 guesses...

[GretchenDawntreader]

oh um....yeah. It says Hopkins. I stupid like that sometimes. *headbonk*

Hey did you catch Neil deGrasse Tyson on campus a couple weeks ago? He was the First Year Distinguished Speaker and gave a great lecture about science literacy and the fate of historical nations and cultures that turned away from science.

[healthyaddict]

I was there til' about 7:30... amazing speaker. :)

[darkmojojojo]

I have to admit I thought the first picture was creative and even funny.

[happyjesus123]

The trantula is a friendly spider who makes a good pet. I think the artist was trying to say that Charles Darwin would have made a good pet.

[AlmightyFRACTA]

i think the artist was trying to make a comparison between darwins receding hairline and the lavish hairs on tarantulas. Showing how deep down we are all related and desire to be pleasing to the opposite sex.

[thielenm]

interview the darwin artist...theres gotta be something to it

[theqmogvlogs]

Well given the mental cues to think "FSM" prior to viewing the Darwin thing... I thought the tarantulas looked like spaghetti and meatballs... the "piece" therefore perhaps representing how superior the tarantula is to both science and religion... as clearly having been created to represent a meatball will meaty noodley appendages and being a creature which resides low to the ground we know for certain that it is indeed the favored creation of FSM.

[Brianswers]

Thats how I was thinking too! lol

[theqmogvlogs]

We are clearly the truest of devotees.

[vgerdj]

That's what I thought. It just looks like tarantulas. It's definitely FSM. FSM and Darwin. FSM and Darwin crushes a stack of bibles. I'll come in again.

[kalamain]

Yeah, Its Darwin with ratty dreadlocks during his secret campaign as a visionary pirate in the caribbian. And he's sitting on his knowledge in an attempt to protect them from the ID'ers.

Or Not. B-)

RAmen.

[aZeroGodist]

I liked the Darwin piece.

[stevebritgimp]

Isn't it a reference to 'a spider came from a rock' so-called refutation of anti-creationism?

[ZOMGitsCriss]

I wouldn't call that tarantula thingy there "art" :/ Just a silly "joke", eh.

Ashley ... is ... so ... preeetyyyy !

*sigh*

[8WholeThing]

I saw the article in the newspaper on the Darwin art show. Forgot to note the precise location. Can anybody save me digging through my newspaper recycling bin?

[CousinoMacul]

I agree that there's no deep meaning in the "tarantula Darwin" piece. In fact, there was no depth of thought behind it. :-)
