THEOLOGY. My dictionary (World Book) does say it is a science: 1. the Study of God, His nature and attributes and his relations with man and the universe. 2. the study or science of religion, and religious beliefs. 3. a system of religious beliefs.
Whenever comedians get the opportunity to joke about religion, God, theology and the like, they will invariably use lines like the following:
ARE YOU, NOW AND THEN PERHAPS, ONE WHO LIKES TO VISIT CHURCHES AS A SERMON TASTER? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FOLLOWING SERMON? BTW, THE MINISTER, The Rev. James R. Clubine--of Central United Church, Unionville, ON--INVITES REVIEWS OF HIS SERMONS.
At this point I will simply say: The sermon, which is wrapped in philosophy, is a very theological one. I like his strong voice; his clear and deliberate delivery.

"The BIG problem with thinking of theology as a science is this: It is NOT a science. If it is, how come scientists never write evidence-packed theses about him?
"If believers insist that theology is a science, I can only respond, that it must be a science without a subject, at least not a subject with measurable dimensions, or one who who can be interviewed by the media--perhaps with the Pope by his side--If he were for real he would no doubt be sought after, hounded even, befriended, invited to numerous lunches or dinners by the rich and famous all over the world."
"If I were his manager, I would be sure to see that he was reminded to visit the poor and needy all over the world and not to forget: Do the miracle of the "loaves and fishes" (the feeding of the 5,000) as often as possible!"
