Dr. Pepper posted a new ad on its Facebook page last week called the "Evolution of Flavor", based on the famous image of the "March of Progress", and drew criticism from creationists who say the ad shows the company's support of the scientific theory of evolution.

While some creationists vowed to boycott the company, others who support evolution said they'll keep drinking Dr. Pepper.

The ad was posted on Thursday and quickly sparked a huge debate which garnered over 4,000 comments and over 26,000 likes by Friday. The ad continues to generate comments and likes.
