ya then they started talking about the big bang theory....tht didnt go soo well.......

[–]Werepig 2 points3 points ago

Why would a theology teacher be talking about the big bang theory? That'd be like me harping about... um hmmmmmm... nevermind. I can't think of anything as ridiculous as a theology professor talking about the big bang.

[–]swag-me-out[S] 2 points3 points ago

he was explaining how "crazy" the theory is.

[–]Werepig 0 points1 point ago

Not his job. His job is theology. He is qualified to talk about things of and or related to religion. Science has absolutely nothing to do with religion.

[–]Spetolbe 1 point2 points ago

Sigh, indeed we do. Especially when my friends try and shove religion down my throat -_-

You should laugh. Stifle a few giggles and what not. If asked what you think is so funny act surprised and say "wait, you aren't trying to be funny?" If told to stop simply smile or silently laugh. If asked to respond to his remarks, say you refuse to have a discussion with someone who won't listen (because clearly he hasn't so far). Your point will be made.

Yeah, the professors at my school don't take being challenged so well. So I don't even bother. My professor today told us that we were richer than our parents. I said I'm not so sure about that. I think it's a mixed bag, and he says I know you are. This guy is known for having a major temper. I just backed off after that. I wish we had more people in positions of authority who could take a fucking argument.
