[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

Blink and suddenly they're 18 and you've almost missed it. My young nephew, no longer a baby, is sitting his entrance exams for university today. It's a decent school so the questions are good ones; the last one has stumped me and his tutors for hours - any help for the poor boy would be appreciated.

Explain with examples the difference between a theophysicist, a theosophist and a physicotheologian. (1 mark)

I thought it might be like the difference between a Vice Chancellor, Executive Provost and an Administrative Chief Director, but apparently that's not it.

Wasn't theosophy invented by Madame Blavatsky? She was demon possessed.

Having gotten my Masters in Organic Chemistry while I was getting one in Business/Finance, I quickly discovered science was, simply put, hooey. All smoke and mirrors to trick the dimwitted.
My paper was the on evolution of Organic beings (man). I sourced a large jar of unprocessed peanut butter and let time/evolution 'do its thing' (as the kids say). Two years spent watching the jar and documenting my observations. Suffice it to say, no man (or even an ape) climbed out.

I cannot help you with these pernickity questions. Then again, I did not go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton. Truth be told, I did not go to any University. But I never met a Harvard grad who knew how to emasculate sheep in a timely fashion come the season on the farm.

Assuming he didn't have to answer ALL the questions, I'm not sure that 1 mark would be an adequate reward for such a complex question, Brother Dr. Toole, Sir. If he attempted to answer it, he would have no time to answer anything else.

In any case, it is too late to concern ourselves with it now as the examination was four days ago. How did he do?

[Unfalsifiable]

Here's my answer to that question: They're a whole bunch of people thinking and philosophisin' all that fancy talk when they should be logging on to the free public library computer to listen to Pastor Zeke's podcasts.

Not so good on the exam, but thank you for your concern Sister. Don't worry though, after a quick call to the Deputy Executive Director Administrative Provost Chiefy-in-Chief Leader Most-Highness we found out he is eligible for a rowing scholarship for just a small donation to the Senate yacht club. Done. He's such a smart boy.

Hold on a minute, I believe the Pastor's Bible readings are copyright material. He personally owns the look & feel, all special effects and his trademark shouted delivery™. If you have any evidence of illegal public renderings of his works, or have personally listened to any, the department of Faith will need to collect fees.

I can answer the question. There is no difference, they are all Hellbound sinners. Physicists who know the truth are called Creation Physicists. Philosophers who know the truth are called Baptist theologians. All the rest are just posers who trust "experiments" and "logic" rather than the Word of God.

Sounds like "the powers of the air." [highlighted] By studying, the neophytes hope to become princes. Ephesians 2:2
