* HarsherInHindsight: The episode aired in 2006, but consider the multiple massacres that happened afterwards, such as one in Tucson in 2011 which happened at a shopping center, killing 6 people and injuring 14 others including Gabrielle Giffords, who almost became the second in Congress after Leo Ryan to die while in office, the 2017 Route 91 Harvest music festival massacre in the Las Vegas Strip (considered the bloodiest in American history up to date) and the 2018 Parkland school shooting, where the sheriff gave a stand-down order that allowed more people to be killed, and the 2022 massacre in Uvale, Texas where almost twenty officers stood by for further instructions for almost an hour instead of rushing into the elementary school to take out a lone gunman, all of which makes the scene where Snake was shooting people at random from the rooftop of the Kwik-E-Mart and Wiggum trying to ignore it even more creepy.

** At the end of the episode, Lisa tells Ned that she does respect his beliefs, but feels that science and religion should always be separated by way of telling him that Ned wouldn't want a scientist teaching religion just like Lisa wouldn't want a religious official teaching science.

** The episode's opening, with Bart trying to have as much fun as he can in his last days of summer, takes an extensive amount of time and ultimately isn't brought up again once he arrives at the museum. Justified as that opening was originally supposed to be in "I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can" but was cut due to time constraints.

** When Lisa comes home complaining about creationism being taught at school, Marge gently suggests that maybe science and religion can co-exist and complement each other, Lisa rebuffs this and say that they contradict each other and one must be true with as much close-mindedness toward her belief [[{{Hypocrite}} as you would expect from a fundamentalist Christian]]. In the end, Marge simply forgets this viewpoint in order to support Lisa.

* CluelessAesop: The episode seems to be saying that while science and religion can co-exist they should always be separated. This ignores the fact that science and religion ''can'' co-exist peacefully, as evidenced by Gregor Mendel, the Friar who founded the scientific field of genetics, and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_Nobel_laureates the religious beliefs of the majority of Nobel laureates]]; something, Strawmanning aside, that would be difficult to fit in a half-hour episode.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: While Ned does go too far, the museum's "Creationist" exhibit is needlessly and confrontationally insulting to people like him, and utterly pointless and unnecessary from any scientific standpoint. Had his complaint only focused on ''that'', the writers would have had a much harder time pitting the audience against him.

In the end, Marge simply forgets this viewpoint in order to support Lisa.

* {{Narm}}: To help Lisa win the trial, Marge studies up on Charles Darwin's report on evolution. What follows is a ridiculous montage of her reading the book while mowing the lawn and in the shower, acting as if this book of 200 year old research (of which the writers can't even get the ''title'' correct) is the most engrossing thing ever. The scene ends with a vapid comment from Marge about how Darwin's argument reminds her of [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]].
