It is undeniable that this is in the wrong subreddit. Before you respond with the typical /r/atheism butthurt nonsense, allow me to justify my point.

1) Use of the term "undeniable". This presents your opinion about these evolutionary facts, implying you have differing opinions to the priest. Either way, it's an opinion of religious nature, not a humorous nature, and thus any post about said opinion does not belong in a subreddit devoted to things that are funny, not religious. If you saw a church sign that actually said "fuck you science" that, then, would actually be funny as it would appeal even to those who attend church (some of them, anyway).

2) Your use of the term "spat" implies that you had no intention of discussing your views with the other person, and just wanted to shove your beliefs in their face, which makes you just as annoying as the typical door-to-door religious person. Hypocrisy isn't funny.

3) You said something to a religious person that would contradict his beliefs and are surprised that his response was to disagree. This implies that you are not clever, not witty, and most likely, not intelligent, key aspects to creating things that are funny (you want others to laugh with you, not at you).

4) Considering that as a priest, he probably did not say anything remotely resembling what you have in your .gif, it's probably smart to assume that this didn't actually happen. So now, you're also not original, and you're a liar. Lying isn't funny.

5) Finally, (you'll want to pay attention to this one) the most obvious evidence that this post is in the wrong subreddit (i.e. shouldn't be in /r/funny) is: It's. Not. Funny.

Please post in the correct subreddits from here on out, and have a nice day. Thanks!
