>My goal this year is to prove natural selection on the show. It's gonna take a while, it's gonna be very hard to make it fascinating on film in the context of our narrative structure, but I figure screw it. The sky's the limit. Let's do natural selection. I'm sick of fifty percent of this country thinking creationism is reasonable. It's appalling. And I have the unique ability, maybe, to sell this idea to Discovery, and they'll, they might allow me to do it, and I'm gonna try as hard as I can.

That's the same canned response religious types like to spout out every time science disproves yet another of their harebrained beliefs. "Oh God just put that there to test us/this is a step on our path to Him/it was a metaphor!"

You guys are retarded. That pic is clearly from the "Sex Myth" special they aired on HBO. In the picture in question, Adam was testing the infamous "milk enema" myth. I won't go into details on that one, I still have nightmares about it.

Picture related.
