If anything, He's Presenter/ Bubbled-headed Announcer.

It's difficult to figure out what's what these days. You may think someone is a tap-dancer, but presto! you are wrong. That someone is actually brain surgeon. Likewise, one should not assume that the fellow at IBM Almaden who has a name-plate on his desk that reads "RESEARCH SCIENTIST" is actually a scientist. He might not be. Here are some useful rules of thumb to help tell if someone is a real scientist...

If a person goes to church, he is not a scientist. If he reads Carl Sagan books, he is a scientist. If he believes that his ancestors are dead monkeys buried in the ground, he is a scientist. If he wonders whether Bill Nye is gay, he is not a scientist. If he is an atheist, he is a scientist. If he believes in God, he is not a scientist. That should help.

“If he is an atheist, he is a scientist. If he believes in God, he is not a scientist.”

OK, I “get” that you enjoy mocking scientists, but the fact is that science does not require any particular religious beliefs, or no beliefs, but rather allows people of all beliefs to work together on projects.

So what, exactly is your problem with that?
Did you ever see a listing of famous Christian scientists?
