ATHEISTS who reject religious doctrine have admitted nothing in their precious science can provide an explanation for the existence of the Easter Bunny.

Though outspoken about the lack of evidence for a Christian God, the so-called rational minds fall silent every spring when faced with the indisputable fact that a giant rabbit produces a multitude of chocolate eggs for children.

Reverend Tom Booker of St Agatha and All Angels church said: “Most of the year, I can’t step outside without a heretic berating me for spreading the word of God. Except Easter.

“Why? Because the Darwinists are tying themselves in knots trying to explain how a mammal can not only lay eggs, but delicious chocolate ones.

“Every year, after service, I sit down to my Sunday roast after service and smile knowing that the likes of Ricky Gervais and Richard Dawkins are bamboozled, Googling ‘rabbit cloacas’ in attempt to rationalise that he was a giant platypus. The fools.”

Biologist Dr Helen Archer said: “This is one area where the Christians have got us by the bollocks, I’m afraid.”
