My new favourite book.

 

 

“Heaven is a beautiful place where we can be with God.”

Aunt Petunia smacked her hands over Harry‘s young ears; and her voice was sickly sweet when she said, “Thank you very much for your concern, sir, but he does not need your religion, he has science and socialism and birthdays. Haven‘t you heard of Evolution? I have a very good textbook on Evolution that I could give you on it if you would like to learn things.”

Hagrid laughed wisely. “Evolution is a fairytale. You don‘t really believe that, do you?”

“Yes, I do!” Aunt Petunia screeched.

“Well then prove it!”

Aunt Petunia could only stare at him; and her big mouth hung open dumbly. Here she thought she was so educated; and always demanded that Christians prove what they believed in; but she couldn‘t even prove her own religion. It was then that Harry knew who the smart one here was!

 

Genuis.

Was not aware that Evolution was a religion  :)

 

but she couldn‘t even prove her own religion

 

 

Will be interesting to see how the sale/s of the book goes.

Cannot believe you actually think that is genius?  A two year old could write that and probably do a better job.  And no I am not here to debate religion or evolution (and yes, I am a Christian and applaud the attempt), just perplexed about how that little passage was genius.

I left my sarcastica font off.

ah, okay then

Problem is, that it presents the false dilemma that evolution being true, means religion is false. 

 

Im not sure why she feels compelled to make it one or the other. 

Not sure why she bothers to re-write it, just do your own book.  Or for that matter, visit your local Christian bookstore and grab one of the many good fiction writers like Stephen Lawhead.
