Discussions about whether someone like Francis Collins should have been promoted to a high scientific positions go on and on.

So, I thought I would make things simpler:

Religion is like booze. Some people have a little sip now and then, at home or with friends. Collins is different.

Collins turns up drunk at interviews. He says: "No, no.. lishen.. I shaw a wadderfall! I fell down and shaw it! I did! And I thought.. Oh God![hic]"

Show Collins some DNA, and hear him mutter... "Ish all wurds! Ish God's little teeeny words! Look! I can see em all! Aren they all preetty?"

Show Collins a stained glass window, and he yells "DNA! DNA! Is all DNA! Look - kinda round and shpirrally! Wheeeee!"

So, now, here we have Collins, trying not to sway too much, insisting that he really is sober while doing his work, this time.
