This site is named for the famous statement of US Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver from Missouri : "I`m from Missouri -- you'll have to show me." This site is dedicated to skepticism of official dogma in all subjects. Just-so stories are not accepted here. This is a site where controversial subjects such as evolution theory and the Holocaust may be freely debated.
My biggest motivation for creating my own blogs was to avoid the arbitrary censorship practiced by other blogs and various other Internet forums. Censorship will be avoided in my blogs -- there will be no deletion of comments, no closing of comment threads, no holding up of comments for moderation, and no commenter registration hassles. Comments containing nothing but insults and/or ad hominem attacks are discouraged. My non-response to a particular comment should not be interpreted as agreement, approval, or inability to answer.

Larry, I think you have actually managed to make the most pointless post on any blog anywhere on the internet. You should receive some sort of award for such an achievement.
Wrong -- the cartoon's points are that Darwinists are playing dumb when they (1) claim there is no controversy about Darwinism and (2) lump Darwin-doubting together with flat-earthism, geocentrism, etc..
Also, the cartoon is an allusion to the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Well, if that's your supposed points, you've just proved mine.
Hmm, not only does the point seemingly go right over your head, but you post your reply to it twice (maybe for emphasis?) The point is that the 'Darwinists', as you persist in calling those who accept the overwhelming evidence in favour of evolution, do not claim there is no controversy about what you persist in calling 'Darwinism'. They say that this 'controversy' is based on the same level of science and evidence as the 'controversy' over the fact the Earth is round, the fact the star Sol is at the centre of our solar system, etc, etc, etc. So, as you seemingly don't even understand the argument you're trying to denigrate, that does, indeed, make your post utterly pointless in the extreme.
As a side note, if you're going to continue to use the terms 'Darwinist' and 'Darwinism', please educate yourself on the meaning of them in scientific circles, and then use them thus, just so that people can actually understand what you're blathering about.

Accidents happen, dunghill.

Analyzing cartoons to death is stupid -- it spoils them. A cartoon can even be intended to be sarcastic, ironic or satirical, or not a true representation of the cartoonist's own views.
The "squeaks" don't emanate from evolution theory. They come from you.
What did I say about cartoons being spoiled by analyzing them to death? People are supposed to interpret cartoons for themselves.
