It’s so iconic, it a shame it’s scientific bunk.

It is, but it’s still easily recognizable. And the people like us who realize it’s bunk don’t need the reminders that change-over-time is fact to be accepted. Those who need reminders won’t care if it’s not quite accurate.

They even programmed it so that if it detects that you’re a creationist, it limits the number of changes tracked so that you can only make microchanges to your document, since macrochanges are impossible.

Would’ve been better if the last part of that icon was some Eldritch Abomination, which is what most documents turn into over time.

Epic! Especially as I expect very few creationists to use an OS with a kernel named Darwin.
