Wow… The Simpsons tonight is epic. Here's the plot:![]()
"Flanders pushes Mayor Quimby to appoint the Rev. Lovejoy as morality czar in charge of spreading the theory of creationism; Lisa is arrested for teaching non-biblical science."
and some great lines…
Rev. Lovejoy: "Ned, you have to take this thing [the Bible] with a grain of salt. I mean… come on!"
Mrs. Lovejoy: "But honey, you could really put some meat in the seats with this. Evolution is the hot button topic of the day."
Rev. Lovejoy: "That's true, dear. Attendance has been slipping since the Episcopalians put in the vibrating pews."
–
Lisa: "You can't teach creationism, it's not science!"
Rev. Lovejoy: "It is now."
Ralph "Then are oceans God's tears?"
Rev. Lovejoy: "Yes they are. A+"
Ralph: "Now Lisa is Ralph!"
–
Lisa: "This is slander! Darwin was one of the greatest minds of all time."
Other student: "Then why is he making out with Satan in the video?"
Lisa: "You can't teach creationism as science!"
Teacher: "Students, please begin distracting yourself from deep thoughts by making noise and arm flatulence."
–
Lisa: "Today we had a test in science and every answer was 'God Did It'."
–
Homer: "Good riddance to cavemen. Their drawings sucked and they looked like hippies."
UPDATE: Here's a link to most of the episode. What a classic…
