Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The ichthys symbol, or "Jesus fish", typically used to proclaim an affiliation with or affinity for Christianity, is frequently a subject of satire, especially when adorning the bumpers or trunks of automobiles. Most such ornaments are adhesive badges made of chrome-colored plastic. The following are some examples of these satires.The Darwin fish is an ichthys symbol with "evolved" legs and feet attached and often with the word Darwin inside (like the or Jesus found in some Christian versions). It symbolizes the scientific theory of evolution, for which Charles Darwin laid the foundation, in contrast with Creationism, which is often associated with Christianity. The Darwin fish bears a stylized resemblance to Ichthyostega, which is a major example of a transitional fossil. Related to the Darwin fish is a fish with legs, the word 'evolve', and a hand that is holding a wrench.
