Gotta love Chuck Palahniuk! “Far below, a withered old man shambles along, leaning on a cane, dragging a way-long beard. I ask Archer if he’s a demon. “Him?” says Archer, pointing at the old man. “That’s Charles f*****g Darwin!” Archer hawks a gob of spit, which falls, falls, falls to land near enough to make the old man look up. When they make eye contact, Archer shouts, “Hey, Chuck! You still doing the Devil’s work?” Darwin lifts one withered, veined hand to flip Archer the bird. As it turns out, the way-fundamentalist Christian creationists were correct. How I wish I could tell my parents: Everybody in Kansas was right. Yes, the inbred snake handlers and holy rollers had more on the ball than my secular humanist, billionaire mom and dad. The dark forces of evil really did plant those dinosaur bones and fake fossil records to mislead mankind. Evolution was hokum, and we fell for it hook, line, and sinker.” Excerpt From: Palahniuk, Chuck. “Damned.”
