puddingoscopy

a divination method occasionally used by Darwin soothslayers who claim the proof for Darwinism is in the pudding. The angle of the folds and bubbles, the color and texture, or some other attributes of unknown character, provide Lady Luck with clues that Darwinian evolution produced the trait under consideration, e.g., “For some reason, just being a turtle is an idea that came along and just really works.” Why? “And the proof could be in the pudding – their body plan is the world’s oldest, changing little over 200 million years.”  Source: 10/09/08.
