Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ah yes, as if a god would know less about the universe it created than Einstein. This is some weird sciencier than thou comic and this sort of sentiment does nothing but drive wedges between people, best to avoid that
To paraphrase Bruce Schneier, any idiot can create a universe that he himself doesn't understand.
Actually, it is religion which drives that wedge, not science. Science creates no wedges at all and is purely inclusive; the religious people who deny repeatable and verifiable fact-based evidence are willingly excluding themselves, not being wedged away.
Science is waiting and ready to receive any repeatable and verifiable factual evidence that supports religious claims.
EDIT: lol would the downvoters like to explain what they believe is wrong with my comment?
Eh, I have no problem characterizing "god" as a sort of Willy Wonka-esque maniac who might not necessarily"do things" or design systems based on an expected outcome.
The "why not?" or "just because" philosophy feels appropriate for "divine" characters like Loki and Sheogorath. They're playing by their own rules, and they're comfortable doing that because theoretically they are both the unstoppable force and the immovable object.
Could God create a puzzle so difficult that not even he can solve it? Who knows! But I think if I were God I'd want to try and see what happens.
Huh, I figured it was someone who was mocking Einstein for overthinking things when God was just trying to show him the neat thing he made. Don't recognize the artist to know either way.
Definitely mocking Einstein.
I especially like this one ๐
...dumb me was translating the comics by hand, without realising that the original artist had an English version of them.
why would they draw god as though his brain had been scooped out by a big spoon
