I had several of those books. The guy’s about 20 years late, but he did the joke proud.

I’m trying to imagine how this guy’s “faithful” might spin this news. Maybe they’d say “you’re just being pessimistic - you focus on the fact that he didn’t make it all the way to the island, while we are rewarded for understanding that he did take three whole steps. To us, you might say, the priest is half full of water.”
I was thinking more along the likes of riding the undertow, and he just overshot it and ended up in the Galapagos Islands.
Darwin gets the point for a human removing itself from the genepool. God would only get the point if he was eaten by a shark.
If by some combination of genetic mutations, the priest turns out to have functioning gills, Do Darwin and God call it a draw, or will there have to be a rematch?

Depends. If he had gills he’d still be alive under the water. Now if, in an ironic twist of fate, an octopus hugged his face and covered said gills causing him to expire, Darwin and God would have to face off in a sudden death match.
Perhaps the problem was that he tried it after his successful crucifiction stunt, and the holes in his feet let the water in?

Not to urinate on anyone’s Post Toasties, but I call “banana oil.” I Googled the guy’s name: nothing. No news agency attached to the story, which seems a bit, umm, vague . . . Cute story, and I wish it were true, but . . .
I found two sources - how reliable are these outlets?
World Net Daily
The Daily Record (UK)
Not sure if these are Weekly World News type publications or not.
Maybe it just wasn’t cold enough .

Someone should point out that it’s actually Darwin:1, God:1, Morons:0-but-they-don’t-believe-it
Darwin was describing God’s work, not trying to get into a headbutting contest with Him…
There, I pointed it out. Someone had to.

There’s also the matter that “walking on water” is unrelated to the evolution debate.
I suspect that this part is absolutely true; or, at least, as true as anything is. --* if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus.*
‘Course, we’d be talkin’ 'bout a whole boatload of faith. Maybe two.
That’s the most pathetic, grasping example of an attempt to rationalise a Bible story that I have ever seen. Why not just say it never happened, or that the disciples were eating magic mushrooms?

But supposedly, being a priest, he already removed himself from the gene pool.
Interesting how the Catholic Church, itself, gives Darwin another point, every time someone is ordained.
Sadly, that man is not going to feel pretty, witty, or bright.
He didn’t take his gilleyweed prior to.
