Panda Bear and Royal Mutt have been driving for about an hour now, they just past Camp Pendleton and are in the middle of a discussion.
Royal Mutt: So I’m telling you, the idea of God is questionable.
Panda Bear from time to time doesn’t mind delving into these types of discussions, but Royal Mutt seems to have a bone to pick with religion.
RM: To take an example from Carl Sagan, let’s say I have an invisible dragon in my garage.
Panda Bear: Ok, now I’m interested.
RM: …no one can see this dragon except me. Not only is it invisible, it’s incorporeal. No matter what device you use to detect it: electromagnetism, sand on the ground, infrared goggles…there’s no way you can establish it’s there.
PB: What about luring it with a hot chick, like Kitty Pryde?
RM: Let’s say that even fails, what have we proven? Nothing. Saying I have an invisible dragon in my garage is equivalent to saying nothing at all.
PB: Ok, I see where you’re going with this, so…
RM: By extrapolation this can be made to apply to God.
PB: The way you were describing it I was thinking more of ghosts.
RB: Holy Ghosts.
PB: Well, maybe it’s just that our devices aren’t advanced enough to detect your dragon.
RM: True, but doesn’t that mean we should be improving and expanding on what we know versus chasing invisible dragons, ghosts, or gods? *sniff*sniff* Did you just fart?
PB: No, my invisible dragon did it.
RM: You’re overbearing.
