The creationism vs darwinism debate-- through the eyes of a bunny.

Kojima on Jul 05 '07

I like it

jaz853 on Jul 05 '07

I like it better on green, but I still like it.

professorE on Jul 05 '07

I think I would buy this. Yes, yes I would...

Christoph Jenkins on Jul 05 '07

5$ on green

leucous on Jul 05 '07

I'd like it better without the jesus and darwin banners on there

caleb haws on Jul 05 '07

i'd wear it

Alexandra Marie on Jul 05 '07

I don't like how it is stylized, but the concept and artwork are both indeed solid.

nulo on Jul 05 '07

ahhaha

Exigent on Jul 05 '07

take off the banners and I would buy.

Kannaya on Jul 05 '07

I like it with or without the banners, and on the green for sure.

hypothermya on Jul 05 '07

Agreed: without the banners. Great design.

drjedipimp on Jul 05 '07

cool cool

without banners, where does text go?
how is idea conveyed, without text?

-think

blandford on Jul 05 '07

the meek are the fittest.

gyrfalcon on Jul 05 '07

I think the Jesus and Darwin banners are a helpful addition, and would thus prefer them. I'll still buy it either way - $5 as is. $4.5 without banners.

ryansigg on Jul 05 '07

BAM! 5.

sputnikkkk on Jul 05 '07

$5- This is such a great concept... It better get printed -- I want it.

heyimhazel on Jul 05 '07

Hahaha
$5

nicolethelez on Jul 05 '07

i love it!

AbstractAngel on Jul 05 '07

I love it! plus the bunny is adorable

xXonigiri on Jul 05 '07

hahaha. nice one.

Seeza on Jul 06 '07

Jesus on the back, otherwise people I know would ask me if I also believe in the toothfairy.

hepneck on Jul 06 '07

Good design, do not change anything.

wicked-studios on Jul 06 '07

Green ... definitely.

amoania on Jul 06 '07

i dislike the banners, as mentioned above...
i just wouldn't walk around with 'jesus' on my shirt.

biesdesignstudio on Jul 06 '07

I think the biggest problem with this is that 'meek' does not mean weakness, timidness, or shyness or anything of the sort; it means that one's strength is under control, more of a statement of how one uses his strength than the quantity of that strength.

</tangent>

I definitely would not buy this tee. The illo is cute though. 2.

wstn on Jul 06 '07

LOL

da Face on Jul 06 '07

I really like this as is. I do believe in Jesus but don't mind walking around with Darwin on my shirt but I guess it doesn't work the other way around for some. Anyway, I looked up "meek" and found that is can mean timid and lack of will. $5

Mandyhello on Jul 06 '07

I just laughed off of the chair.. really!

can you put both designs on the front though? it's weird that one's on the back..

leave the banners!

javguerre on Jul 06 '07

subpar.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 06 '07

Most certainly nothing with a quote from Jesus is gonna go on my tee unless calvin was pissing on it. Just playin! But seriously, this would be a solid and fun concept without the jesus and darwin banner.....people will know where the quote comes from.

Captain Global on Jul 06 '07

sputnikkkk on Jul 06 '07

I think maybe, some people are missing the insights the two images bring to the words. In the first, the bunny (metaphor for human) is taking great comfort in Jesus's words - the words mean he is blissfully ignorant of the fact that he's about to be eaten by a preditor. The image is a perfect reflection of the ignorance of some religious fanatics-- who reject scientific knowledge-- etc... In the end the bunny gets bitten in the ass by reality/science-- the scientific theories put forth by Darwin.

Also, biedesignstudio - You should look up your definition of Meek in the Oxford dictionary-- not some cheap dictionary from the Wallmart bargain bin.

catalina_s on Jul 06 '07

i think it could lose the banners, it would just be more subtle that way. "meek shall inherit..." is a bible quote, "survival of the fittest" describes darwin's theory of natural selection.

squelettenoir on Jul 06 '07

Haha. I like it. I'm debating whether or not I would like wearing it, though, considering my nonreligion. I'm not sure if it would be good or bad yet.

Great design!

pudge_monster on Jul 07 '07

funny. green is better.

evilstan on Jul 07 '07

What's up with the centering of the "survival of the fittest" side? The brackets up top look too far to the right, esp. compared to the "meek shall inherit" side...

otacon120 on Jul 07 '07

Aside from the small alignment issues on the back side of the shirt, I love it. $5.

recast101 on Jul 08 '07

I'd buy it without the Jesus/Darwin banners

Spiritwave on Jul 08 '07

For religious content, I give it a 2.

sophiejane on Jul 08 '07

I don't want Jesus on my front.

Bethrealistic on Jul 08 '07

Keeeeeeep the banners and I'd buy!

philippabassface on Jul 08 '07

Absolutely genius. Change nothing. $5.

anastasia beaverhausen on Jul 08 '07

ya i like the banners

ilikeice on Jul 08 '07

HAHA too bad my messiah hasn't come yet.

muppetdoom on Jul 08 '07

im with sophiejane,i dont want jesus on the front

Willish on Jul 09 '07

I like it on the black.
Not too sure if the banners could bring about the right impression but its very clever all the same!

aniki21 on Jul 09 '07

I'd buy it on the green - I already have far too many black t-shirts.

ginacoggio on Jul 09 '07

I don't like Jesus anywhere on my body. I'd buy it without the mention of that name.

Destinylola4 on Jul 09 '07

latchkeygirl on Jul 09 '07

Hahahahaha. This rules. I love this.

steelypirateheart on Jul 09 '07

i really like it, but i would leave the banners off. i wouldn't wear anything that said jesus..

Falljw on Jul 09 '07

Although it wouldn't work with this style, I would prefer both on the front. My hair would cover the Darwin bit!

rpophessagr on Jul 09 '07

"Survival of the fittest" is actually attributed to Herbert Spencer, not Darwin, though he used it later.

jasper7777 on Jul 09 '07

I know-- wrote a paper on it-- made a conscious decision to use it--
But was waiting to see if anyone would say anything. Its cool that you did.

jasper7777 on Jul 09 '07

If you wrote what Darwin said - it would take up the whole shirt- if you tribute it to Spencer - noone knows who he is-- catch 22-- besides- since it sums up darwins theory- it is what Darwin said.
But its neat that you knew.

Less Nameless on Jul 09 '07

Nice design Less Nameless

slicedbread8 on Jul 10 '07

its got to have the names-especially Darwin-
people need to pay more homage to the truly great man

also, I'm an aetheist so I want the Jesus on there
when aethiests wear Jesus shirts its like taking back the power!!!

holykeebler216 on Jul 10 '07

i love it

i think its hilarious
i like it on green, too. the green-ish banners go nicely

XOXO

holykeebler216 on Jul 10 '07

btw

holykeebler216 on Jul 10 '07

*btw, im a christian and im not offended, so thats good

XOXO

poet-tree on Jul 10 '07

I love the concept. On the Darwin side I think another clear predator would be better. The bird looks too cartoon to be some kind of hawk/vulture. Maybe a coyote?

chimchim on Jul 11 '07

Smart and sexy.

I'm talking about the shirt.

Jemae on Jul 11 '07

cool j7777 cool! n i like it too! :)

Ikkle on Jul 11 '07

Nice idea, i like it.

teamtanker on Jul 11 '07

I think that dawin would win in a fight between him and jesus!!!

kristalusa24 on Jul 11 '07

My sister has a witty and somewhat dark sense of both humor and reality. I like it and will by it for my daughter (her niece) because somehow my child has inherited jasper's artistic sensibilities and humor . . . I feel it is great, but am sad for the bunny--he looks so optimistic. The hawk is cartoonish but has a very scary eye. I believe Jesus & Darwin can coexist.

Emmalaya on Jul 11 '07

xD Love it. $5

MeLa de Gypsie on Jul 12 '07

teamtanker: Jesus would not be found in a fight in the first place.

Judly on Jul 12 '07

Luv it, stick it to them honey, easy $5

jasper7777 on Jul 13 '07

I showed this to a big group of 19-20 year olds and someone said

What's a Meek? Is that a Meek? I thought it was a rabbit.

I think it'd look better if you could somehow combine both parts onto the same surface. I wouldn't want to wear a shirt that someone would see from the front and think I was a Jesus-nut if I didn't explain that there was more on the back.

jasper7777 on Jul 17 '07

I agree, they should both be on the front.
If I had it to do over, I would also make the eagles face
a bit more preditory. And, fix the type to image alignment on the second one. Thanks!
