You might try to understand evolution before trying to criticize it. You haven't come close.

Why am I even bothering to comment? The artist of the comic does not understand evolution, and somehow thinks he can still bash it. He doesn't understand how evolution works, at all. I'm guessing he's never studied it, he's never bothered to read about it, and all he's done is just accept from your Creationist buddies that it's "ridiculous." And if he says he's studied it, then his education on the subject is kindergarten-level, at best.
The analogy fails because cars have no mechanism of change, whereas biological creatures reproduce. Cars do not reproduce. Living things reproduce. Can I say that again? Cars do not reproduce. Imperfect reproduction is the absolute requirement for evolution, and cars cannot reproduce. This cartoon is the stupidest strawman I've ever seen.

Hi there. Rather than criticize the drawing, how about reading the quote by the evolutionist?

Hi there. I have read the whole of Darwin's Origin cover to cover, and many other books about it, I also have several of the most current science books written by evolutionists. I have read Darwin's Black Box and others as well, all by evolutionists. How about you?

Wait, what?
"Darwin's Black Box" was by evolutionist?
Dang, you learn something new everyday...

If you claim to have read it, then your reading is obviously somewhere around kindergarten level, since you don't understand the basic tenet of evolution, which is random mutation acted upon by selective pressures.
Your comic claims that evolutionists would expect a car to change over time. The analogy as applied to evolution is that a single human would evolve over time. Do you believe that this is what scientists think? That if you left an organism sitting there (and presuming it wouldn't die), that it would eventually evolve into something else?

Hi there, this is a 'straw man' argument. You set up an 'experiment' I would not even suggest, and then you destroyed it, as I would have. Please try to stick to the facts and give me some real science, rather than this poor example.

If you read the last few pages Michael Behe makes it clear where he stands. I think he wanted to put forward the intelligent design view but hide behind "irreducible complexity". Some evolutionists are like that too. They know there's a God, but they know if they acknowledge His reality they will have to admit they are accountable to Him. Oops!

It is not a straw man--I was pointing out that your comic itself is a straw man. You comic points out that evolutionists would expect a car to change by itself, and the analogy is that a single organism would change. Nobody believes this at all, hence a straw man.
Also, who cares where Michael Behe stands? His entire thesis about irreducible complexity is based on false assumption about evolution, and has been debunked countless times. And no, scientists don't purport to "know" anything. It's only Christians that claim to "know" anything with 100% truth, which is why, to people outside of Christianity, you all look so idiotic, because you are so sure that words found on scrolls written thousands of years ago were inspired by something in the sky that has all human qualities (like emotions, feelings, etc.). God has no brain, thus he has no emotions, or logic, or feelings, or anything, and thus the god described in those fairy tales from thousands of years ago does not exist.

Michelle: I agree with everything you have to say regarding these mind-bogglingly uninformed cartoons, but I object to your assertion that "only Christians [...] claim to 'know' anything with 100% truth". Fundamentalists from any religion are just like this, but it's way easier these days for people to criticize Christians in general than it is for them to criticize, say, fundamentalist Jews or Muslims. Many "people outside of Christianity" have views that are just as personally offensive to you and me as those of the fellow who wrote these comics.
Just because it's easier and more socially acceptable to focus all anti-religious hatred on Christian denominations (especially Baptists and Roman Catholics) doesn't mean you should.

Darwin deserves to me ridiculed. His theories are bankrupt, and unscientific. A large body of scientists in many different fields have exposed his errors, and yet Darwinites continue to peddle his doctrines and make ridiculous claims about them being scientific. They promote his unscientific claims as if they were holy scripture, and they repeat their evolutionary mantras regardless of the facts. Time Darwin was revealed in the light of truth, and his followers exposed as the real fundamentalists, who blindly hold him up like some patron saint. Time somebody laughed at him, because as long as people take him seriously, he leads whole nations towards racism, nihilism and, abortion, euthanasia, slavery and many other evils.
