In my first college biology class at Mississippi University for Women, one of the students stood up and vociferously asserted this very same idea. Oh, actually, it was more that God had planted them there to test our faith in the Bible. Bless that poor teacher, he just said "Look, I don't care what you believe, but this is on the test. Learn this and pass the class."
Clicking the pic takes you to a website selling t-shirts that include bones buried by Satan, Discworld, an Earth centered Solar System, and so forth. I'd say that's mockery.

I am so not making either of these lines up.

Seriously I would buy a t-shirt with this on it, just because it is so ridiculous.
