You know all those creationist tracts that have a student standing up in class and showing up the professor? Well, a couple of years ago, I decided to try my hand at an evolution tract. I've finally gotten around to scanning the results.

Evolution Tract
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Hmm. When I click on the links, my browser displays a thumbnailed version. Can you zoom in on the pictures?Cpl Kendall wrote:I don't have a problem with the content but I found it really hard to read. Everything is to small and shoehorned into too small a space.
Thanks!Other than that good work.

Nicely done, but if you're going to cite Urey and Miller in '53, with their experiment that created organic compounds from inorganic precursors, it might be good instead to cite Friedrich Wohler, who synthesized urea from inorganic compounds in 1828. Or it might not, as you choose.

It looks like you wrote the words in pencil first, and then went over them with pen. The writing looks a bit choppy as a result. Perhaps you could go through it with a liberally applied Pink Pearl eraser?
The content is good. The only thing I don't understand is the second-to-last line from the bottom of the first image: how did we go from the classroom to the fires of hell, and why is the science teacher in charge? Also, you might want to put some intermediate images with the "health bars" of the teacher and the creationist, where the creationist has lost some "health". I didn't understand what that was about until the end.
The rest of it is excellent. I can't get behind saying the Gospels are "mostly true" (virgin birth? resurrection?) but I guess you want to appeal to a wider audience than just atheists.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower
