*Weekly Science Report*

*April 13, 2018*

*“Is there a God?  I don’t know.  Just tell me!  I would if I could but I
don’t know and neither does anybody else.  Roberta knows.  No Roberta has
faith and that’s a great thing to have.  Faith is about what you think and
feel.  What about Jesus?  Love that guy, do what he says.  But is he God?
I don’t know.  I have an opinion but that’s my opinion, I could be wrong.
So why would I screw up yours?  Use your head but don’t be afraid to
believe in things either.  There was a guy on TV that said there was no
God.  The only difference between the atheists on TV and Roberta is that
Roberta loves you.  She is just trying to help.  Tell you what though, one
way or another we all end up back together in the end.  That’s what you are
asking right?  Yep!  Do me a favor find something else to worry about.”*
