What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don’t do anything, don’t affect anything, don’t mean anything. What makes anyone think that “theology” is a subject at all?

Sure wish I could take credit for the image; it's a beauty.
(I've seen others in a similar vein; the "Jesus + dinosaurs" meme has a certain minor currency on the web. Dinosaurs are always a touchy point for Creationists. As a kid, my questions about dinos' role in creation always earned me uncomfortable looks and "don't think about it much" non-answers.)
Thanks for writing!
