    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

      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?

      God just threw the universe together, but Einstein took the time to understand it.

      Alternatively, the Bible has an extremely naive (and often counterfactual) understanding of natural science. If the world really was created by an all-knowing God and His word revealed in “inerrant” holy scripture, you’d expect it to be a whole lot better at matching the science.

      The joke is that Einstein calls God a genius, for planning all this stuff, when God didn’t plan anything - he did it on a whim. It relies partially on the characterisation, as across Um Sábado Qualquer’s comics, God is often represented as petty, clueless and/or dumb. Like this:
