In honor of Charles Darwin‘s birthday today, the Freedom From Religion Foundation just put up this billboard in Madison, Wisconsin, urging people to follow the science and wear face masks: (follow link to see picture of billboard)
Hmmm, since those who need convincing go wear masks during this pandemic are those who are most likely to deny and be offended by Darwin and evolution, the association might be counter productive. I like the message, but I have been a dedicated mask wearer from the beginning.
If the goal were to get COVID deniers to wear masks, perhaps a billboard with a masked Jesus with a caption that says something like: in answer to prayers to be protected from this disease, Jesus sent you a mask. The message would be inconsistent with FFRF, but again, if the goal is to get those who refuse to wear masks to change their mask wearing behaviors .....
I can just imagine Trumpers driving by in their Ram pickups going berserk, if they only knew who Darwin was. They are living proof they we evolved from apes.
Apes are so much kinder and caring.
@Beowulfsfriend And think more!
WHOA! Didn’t we and apes ( esp. bonobos ) have a common ancestor?
A related question: do bonobos have an original sin?
