This is from an IRC discussion about evolution; referring to evolution as the blind idiot god is from Eliezer Yudkowsky's essay about the utterly inhuman nature of evolution.
It is a common trope amongst creationists that observationists think of evolution in a sort of religious fashion, and that's true for those who haven't thought about it very hard, but ... well, here's an example of how someone who has actually thought about how evolution really works thinks of it:
- The Blind Idiot God Evolution attacks!
- Your spinal column withers.
- The Blind Idiot God Evolution attacks!
- You have 4 color receptors, and can see better than everybody else.
- The Blind Idiot God Evolution attacks!
- You have a massive penis, combined with a congenital heart condition that promotes impotence.
- You Level Up!
