A five-panel SMBC comic. A woman with light hair asks, 'God, where did life come from?' An unseen God replies, 'Oh, uhhh. The stork brought you.' The woman, skeptical, says, 'What? All of life? A stork showed up one day from somewhere with every bit of earthly biology?' God adds, 'And it was sooo cute! So special!' God then says, 'The actual truth is gross, isn't it? It's too gross for you to tell us.' Finally God asks, 'Have you ever seen how fluids behave in a 9-dimensional hypermanifold beyond time?' and the woman, now covering her ears in distress, insists, 'It's a stork! I believe you about the stork!' The joke flips the stork story: it's God who hides the disturbing truth because humans can't handle it. Votey: God says, 'I'll tell your species once it's evolved beyond feelings,' shown over a small downcast figure.
