crucified astronaut 6 - a photo on Flickriver

            "The Crucinaut of Overlapping Magisteria"  (photograph #6) by 1CONOCLA5T.   1n this piece the artist  seeks to show the contrast and conflict between science and religion. The title is a reference to the famous quote by american paleontologist Steven J Gould that science and religion are "non-overlapping magisteria". In this piece the suffering Christ is replaced on the cross by an Apollo astronaut to represent the way in which religion has for centuries persecuted science and rational thinkers while at the same time by using the iconic image of an Apollo astronaut, reminding the viewer of one of human kinds greatest achievements, the landing of humans on the moon. such an achievement was only possible once religion was forced thanks to the discovery's of science to loosen its grip on the human race as a whole. it should be noted that it didn't do so without a fight and continues to try to regain that lost ground.
Despite airplanes, automobiles, smartphones, heart transplants, the internet and lets not forget the moon landing, there are still people who want to teach creationism in public schools and think Noah's ark is a literal story about a real 600 year old man. As well as irrational lunatics who say we never even went to the moon and the earth is actually flat.
