The Experimenting Preacher
Back in 1959, Rev. David Allcorn mixed science and religion by conducting chemical experiments while at his pulpit in order to "enliven his sermons." He worked as a chemist at the National Biscuit Co. before becoming pastor of the Immanuel Evangelical United Brethren Church in Pittsburgh, PA.

God didn't need chemistry to create the universe so why would this dude think the stuff would actually work anyhow? Heretic!

What would be an appropriate hymn to sing while he was mixing up who knows what?
I suggest Tom Lehrer's "We Will All Go Together When We Go."

As to mixing Science and religion I like Richard Feynman's view on that! :coolsmile:

He is now doing the "one pot one God" method cooking up his religion 🙄

Tom Lehrer's "We Will All Go Together When We Go" may be OK for a Doomsday cult, but I would recommend his song "The Elements" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM-wSKFBpo because it is the Recipe for all Creation.
