Cartman is anticipating the release of the Nintendo Wii, but finds himself unable to have any patience. Worried he's going to die from waiting, he convinces Butters to help him freeze himself and thaw himself out in 3 weeks, when the Wii is available.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Garrison is royally ticked that they're teaching evolution in schools. Due to this, and Mrs. Garrison's retarded view on evolution, the school hires Richard Dawkins to teach evolution in schools. When Mrs. Garrison throws her own feces at Mr. Dawkins, Dawkins asks her out (Seriously, that's how it seemed to me...). Dawkins convinces Garrison that there is no God, and that evolution is scientific fact. Garrison agrees, and announces it in class the next day (much to Richard Dawkins' dismay). Since they realize they can't talk like that in school, they realize that the only solution is to take God out of the equation.
Now back to Cartman. 500 years in the future, Cartman gets thawed out and realizes the future ain't all it's cracked up to be. There's no video games, and war is still being waged, in the name of science. "Oh. My. Science."
Funny episode. I like the idea that people say religion causes all war (which is something I've never really believed in. Though I personally can't stand religion, I do recognize the positive influence it has on many... and that kicks ass), but of course that's poppycock.
2 episodes this season have been 2-parters? Far-out man.

But I liked this episode. I'll leave final judgement until i see the second part, I guess... but I mean... the whole evolution debate, and Ms. Garrison's reluctance to teach it, the way she teaches it, then her embracing it ("pound my little monkey hole!!"), and the whole "oh my science!" thing... all that is
100%. Pure. Unfiltered. Comedy.

Oh yeah, that was good shiznet. But all of it was marginal. Good stuff, but I was riding a high from the last episodes. Was built up. Flying in the sky on South Park wings... what?
