- Quotes
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.
I thought this was another quick moving and entertaining episode, with it being hard to beleive that it's only the third episode because the formula/cast seems to have gelled so well so quickly.
We are learning a bit more about how Sheldon became the man we saw in 'The Big Bang Theory' for twelve years episode on episode, and there was some nice pathos here too.
