Science vs. Norse Mythology

The stupidity of Creationism and Intelligent Design's argument for equal representation with Science in schools, is beautifully rendered in this cartoon by Tim Kreider of The Pain. In the cartoon, Kreider compares Science and Norse Mythology on a number of fronts, in order to illustrate just how ridiculous the whole argument is. Once, a long time ago, there were some people who actually believed in the Norse explanation of how things came to be and how the laws of nature worked. By extension, there are a bunch of people, who actually believe literally, the verses that were written down thousands of years ago, and they propose to forego the intellectual progress that has been made in the last few centuries for the truth as it was written. Why stop at Christian, Muslim or Hindu mythology? Why not go further back to Norse?

In the cartoon, Kreider compares Science and Norse Mythology's take on creation, cosmology, and the origin of man. The result: absolute hilarity!
