** The episode's CentralTheme is based around the argument of Evolution vs. Creationism. While Evolution is untouched (before the MechanicalLifeforms start evolving, anyway), the episode's stand-in for Creationism - Creaturism - is portrayed as blatantly pseudo-intellectualist. Dr. Banjo, a scientific professional that believes in Creaturism, claims the science he follows to be "undisprovable", consistently [[MovingTheGoalposts moves the goalposts]] when it comes to the many missing links between man and ape, and either latches onto an absence of evidence or uses non-permissable evidence (like a commissioned mural of ''Homo Farnsworth'' with a dinosaur that he likely commissioned himself) to prove his own point.

** While the episode doesn't outright state God exists, it does snark at people who think evolution is the argument against Him instead of being the way He worked. Farnsworth is persecuted by the evolved nanobots he planted who accuse him of creationism, even though he and the audience know he was responsible for their evoltuon and makes the accusation look silly.
