Original: thermodynamics on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Man in a suit (to a woman with glasses): Evolution is impossible. The 2nd law of thermodynamics says chaos always increases over time. If chaos ALWAYS increases, how do you go from rocks to conscious beings?
Panel 2:
Woman with glasses: Have you considered getting a more ordered conception of physics?
Panel 3:
Man (frustrated, leaning toward the woman): I JUST TOLD YOU, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
Votey:
Man (thought/caption above a drawn sketch of his own face): At this rate, by next week I'll think Earth is 6,000 years old.

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A man in a suit earnestly argues to a woman with glasses, 'Evolution is impossible. The 2nd law of thermodynamics says chaos always increases over time. If chaos ALWAYS increases, how do you go from rocks to conscious beings?' Panel 2: The woman calmly replies, 'Have you considered getting a more ordered conception of physics?' Panel 3: The man leans in, agitated, and snaps, 'I JUST TOLD YOU, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!' The joke is that he misses her point entirely, treating his own confusion as proof. Votey (aftercomic): A hand-drawn sketch of the man's face with the line 'At this rate, by next week I'll think Earth is 6,000 years old,' implying his reasoning is sliding toward young-earth creationism.
