ATHEIST MAN FINDS THE IMAGE OF CHARLES DARWIN BURNED INTO HIS MORNING TOAST // MORGAN TEMPLE


BURLINGTON, VT - Steve Smith was making his normal Tuesday breakfast —toast and eggs —when he realized that the spitting image of Charles Darwin had appeared onto his toast. Smith recalls the moment when he first noticed:

"I was just about to cut the piece of toast in half when I noticed a strange pattern. As I looked closer, I began to see the outline of a face. The image was unmistakably that of Charles Darwin. It was a scientific miracle!"

Steve Smith has been an avid non-believer since he could understand the Big Bang theory and believes that this was no trick of the eye.

"I personally believe that the grains in this particular piece of bread evolved in order to make this image, to create this scientific phenomenon that further proves my non-belief."

News about this newfound relic spread throughout the atheist community and many flocked to Smith’s Vermontian home to catch a glimpse of the burnt toast. Local atheists who were able to snag a peek at the toast stated that it was "inspiring" to see their unbeliefs validated on a piece of food. However, the crowd quickly dissipated as news spread that a woman in the neighboring area found a potato harboring a strong resemblance to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche.
