Look at the crazy tail on that peacock.

Just look at it!

Apparently, peacocks upset Charles Darwin.

 “The sight of a feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!” – Charles Darwin

Why on Earth would that lovely bird make Darwin ill?

According to this article (written by a godless Bright so you know it’s reliable), peacock plumage don’t make no sense.

Evolution don’t care nuthin’ bout beauty and such.

Evolution just cares about survival.

So according to the reliable insights from the godless Bright:

The peacock is perhaps the clearest example of the concept with its beautiful tail feathers, which it flourishes to attract the attention of a peahen. Its beauty aside, the peacock’s tail must be an ungainly hindrance to the bird in its daily life; its length when trailing on the ground and visibility when displayed must make it easier for a predator to catch.  If evolution was just a struggle to survive, why did the peacock have such an impediment to its chances of survival?

Why, oh why, did the peacock evolve those dratted tail feathers?

Only pagans are stumped by this question.

“Non-Bright” people (like me)  answer easily:

“God is creative.”

That makes a lot more sense than “…a struggle between the males for possession of the females…”

If I understand evolution correctly (and I do)…peacocks shouldn’t exist at all.

Neither should you.

From an evolutionary standpoint, all life should still be single-celled organisms.

Single cells are the most resilient.

They multiply much more efficiently than multicellular organisms.

And they never get depressed, angry, or worried.

They certainly don’t drag a cumbersome tail around to make themselves more attractive.

So maybe there’s another reason for the peacock’s tail.

It’s there to drive atheists crazy.

I’m not proud of this but I have to admit…

…that makes it even more beautiful to me.
