Science v Religion

Father Brown: Be it lectern or pulpit, last minute preparation is always a good idea.


Professor: Don't let the spiritual setting deceive you Father. There is no comparison between your profession and mine. Unlike religion, science is absolute.


Father Brown: I think science has its limitations. It can't explain joy or love. And it certainly can't save your soul. 


Professor: Sentimental defence of an irrational dogma.

Professor: Would you care to observe my midday lecture, Father? You'll like it. It's on the burden of proof.


Father Brown: I'd be delighted, Professor. And perhaps you'll attend my Sunday homilly, on the gift of doubt.
