If you’ve been on Google today, then you’ve seen the doodle marking the 41st anniversary of the discovery of Lucy, a set of fossils that helped us understand our species’ own origins:
As predicted yesterday, some Christians on Twitter are already complaining about how this is some sort of assault on their faith:
@google my web page shows google in evolution form. Gtbkm! What do you think are we are evolving to? I am changing search engines! OFFENDED

Today is boycott Google Day for me due to their evolution theme. Sorry, but something from nothing is just…dare I say…stupid.

Google no thanks for the evolution banner. Your promoting a unproven fairytale. The truth is GOD created the heavens and the earth.

Google displaying ape to man evolution. If man came from ape – why are there still apes? Do not be deceived. God made us in His image.

Shame on #google for their logo today. There is no evidence to support evolution of apes to man. Darwin even said it was a stupid theory.

Google's main page is ridiculous. We can showcase something as ridiculous as evolution, but not Christianity. Great pic.twitter.com/F7uLDgcOxA

@google Funny how the main Google image today is the evolution of humans from monkeys. If that was a cross, world would be up in arms. Shame

I love how Google can have a "doodle" celebrating evolution, but they can't have one celebrating the historical significance of Easter…

About that last one, Google has done an Easter doodle. But that would require a few seconds of, you know, Googling.
For all their complaints, though, I promise you none of those people are about to switch over to Bing.
