Atheist Sees Image of Big Bang in Piece of Toast

For Immediate Release: Miracle Toast?

(ACPA-london) Excitement is growing in the Northern England town of Huddlesfield following the news that a local man saw an image of the big-bang in a piece of toast. Atheist Donald Chapman, 36, told local newspaper, "The Huddlesfield Express" that he was sitting down to eat breakfast when an unusual toast pattern caught his eye.

"I was just about to spread the butter when I noticed a fairly typical small hole in the bread surrounded by a burnt black ring. However the direction and splatter patterns of the crumbs as well as the changing shades emanating outwards from this black hole were very clearly similar to the chaotic-dynamic non-linear patterns that one would expect following the big bang". "It's the beginning of the world" he added excitedly. Images of the actual big bang toast are copyrighted by Don Chapman so we can only show this image which is a US govt public domain picture.

Ever since news of the discovery made national headlines, local hoteliers have been overwhelmed by an influx of atheists from all over the country who have flocked to Huddlesfield to catch a glimpse of the scientific relic. "I have always been an Atheist and to see my life choices validated on a piece of toast is truly astounding" said one guest at the Huddlesfield Arms hotel.

To the surprise of many, the UK national atheist association has asked its members not to pay attention to the story despite its potential to inspire less faith. "Given what the religious believe already, this is an easy sell" said one disgruntled activist who said he was going to Huddlesfield anyway noting that "Seeing is not believing".

I saw a fish evolving into an amphibian this morning in my scrambled eggs at breakfast this morning, but didn't want to make a big deal about it.

It depends on the mood I guess.

Like Larry the Cable guy says

"That right there is funny, I don't care who you are." or something like that.

Thanks for the laugh Forced.

Cosmopomorphization is a common casual fuscation of cosmic continuity.

Could this be translated into a form that I, a self proclaimed scientific idiot could understand?

Assigning attributes of the universe to things is a common cause of the obscuring of the continuous procession of the universe. Or, in a word, jibberish.
