One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the orang-utan was reading two books - the Bible and Darwin's The Origin of Species. In surprise he asked the ape, "Why are you reading both those books"?
"Well," said the orang-utang, "I just wanted to know if I was my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."

Darwin’s “Origin” challenged religious orthodoxy.
But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this – we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of divine power but by the establishment of general laws.” W. WHEWHELL
“Let no man think or maintain that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of God’s word, or in the book of God’s works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress of proficience in both.” F BACON

the ape is in a zoo, so it is being kept

being your brother's keeper is a lesson in the bible that suggest that we should take care of one another like keep each other safe

at the end of the day it's just a joke
