Did you ever wonder what might happen if creationists applied their
arguments to history instead of evolution? Saturday Morning Breakfast Club
has an amusing comic
http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2703
covering the theory of revolution. "Oh! Well, of course everyone accepts
"microrevolution." But, the resulting states are basically the same."
And the weapons, uniforms, and documents were put here by Satan to fool
non-believers.

Excellent. Am I correct in thinking that the
"anti-revolutionist" is merely serving as devil's advocate
to show that teaching biology has pitfalls that teaching
history doesn't, as the last panel seems to indicate?

It would seem so. Still, depending on what area of history and to
whom you teach, it may be that history has its own set. I once
discovered that an Armenian and a Turk ended up as lab partners in a
biology class I taught. I cautiously approached each of them
separately to ask if they were OK with their partner. They both
responded the same way -- laughing. They were far beyond those issues
even if their parents and grandparents were not. There are enough
issues in the world (and in the US) which some people are quite
aggressive about.

Yes, but I didn't want to add a spoiler!
