I liked Matt Damon even before this, but now I am definitely going to see any movie he is in:
I've got to admit, it was a good joke. Of course, I hope the payback next year is equally entertaining.
By the way, this being April 1st, I think the evidence is conclusive that deities evolve. There used to be a lot of them, you know. Nowadays, there's only one. What could be a clearer example of natural selection ruthlessly weeding out the less fit deities?
Nice. I particularly like the eye patch on the .net version and the *mis*information in the banner at the bottom.
Seriously now Paul :-}, even granting you that Yahweh and Allah can be lumped together with the Christian God, there are quite a few others still being prayed to. There are for example, the Hindus who have at least one, possibly hundreds of gods.
Of course some Hindu sects have a neat concept that would surprise most of the Abrahamic types. It seems their god Krishna has been quoted as saying that anyone who worships any god is actually worshipping him! Props to the priest who thought up that resolution to the false gods problem.
The trouble with using evolution to model the decreasing number of gods is that it does not provide a mechanism for going from one god to none. Based on my emotional need to believe that ultimately there can be no god, I reject evolution, at least as it applies to gods.

Hey, evolution per se doesn't specify much of anything in the way of mechanism. Extinction is what happens when the population curve crashes into the X-axis. ;-)
