      I find it hard to understand, what special thing the blood has, that is not synthetically manufacturable. With most foodstuff companies trying to synthetically manufacture as much of the food as they can, what makes this “Near Threatened” animal, so important to harvest?

      There’s also no evidence that horseshoe crabs have individual names and understand the concept of evolution.

        We do have evidence that at least one species give their members individual names, and at least a portion of the members understand the concept of evolution

        So i would say we have more evidence for this meme being accurate than any god being real

        Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.

        The same argument could be made about the statement “Gods perfect creation”.
        But I’d argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.

        Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.

          Just for a moment pretend God banged so hard he created the Big Bang which create all life, and laugh at religion joke.

            Due to the “being allergic” part this is unfortunately not possible for me. But thanks for trying to provide me with a different perspective.

    One of the best things I got to do as a kid was go down to horseshoe crab time at the shore at pet them and hear a science human talk about their fancy blood. The fancy blood of the horseshoe crabs, not the science human’s blood.
