Pastor Jeff : Sometimes people say to me, "Pastor Jeff, how do you know there's a God?" And I say "It's simple math. God either exists or he doesn't." So let's be cynical. Worst-case scenario, there's a 50-50 chance, And I like those odds.
Sheldon : [raising his hand] That's wrong.
Mary : [sotto voce] Shelly, put your hand down.
[to Pastor Jeff]
Mary : Sorry, Please continue.
Pastor Jeff : That's okay, Mary. It's Sheldon, right?
Sheldon : Yes, sir.
Pastor Jeff : Well, Sheldon, why don't you come on up here and tell me why I'm wrong.
Mary : No!
Sheldon : Okay.
[heads on up]
Pastor Jeff : Let's give him a hand, everybody.
Missy : [waking up] What's happening?
Meemaw : [to Mary] Shelly's gonna eat him alive.
Pastor Jeff : So, you were saying?
Sheldon : You've confused possibilities with probabilities. According to your analogy, when I go home I might find a million dollars on my bed or I might not. In what universe is that 50-50?
Pastor Jeff : So, what do you think the odds are that God exists?
Sheldon : I think they're zero. I believe in science.
Pastor Jeff : So you don't think science and God can go hand in hand?
Sheldon : Science is facts, religion is faith. I prefer facts
Pastor Jeff : Mm. I understand that. Here's a cool fact for ya. A lot of famous scientists believed in God. Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, even Charles Darwin.
Sheldon : So Darwin's right about God and wrong about evolution?
Pastor Jeff : Now you're gettin' it. Let's give it up for Sheldon, everybody! What a good sport.
Sheldon : [v.o] But I wasn't a good sport. At that moment, I vowed to come back the following Sunday and destroy Pastor Jeff.
