IllustrationSaying / Proverb★★★★
If God were to apply for tenure at any university, he would most likely be turned down for the following reasons: He had only one major publication, and it was in Hebrew; it contained no references to other works; it wasn’t published in a referred journal; some doubt was expressed that he actually wrote it himself; while it is true that he created the world, what has he done since?; his cooperative efforts have been limited; and the scientific community is having a tough time reproducing his results.
The point
Satire on God's qualifications for a university tenure—mocking human standards by showing how they fail to honor God's supreme work.
