If you're a religious person, you've no doubt at one time or another been ribbed by an "enlightened" friend or relative over your faith.  "Say," they might say, "do you want cheese on your burger or will the Holy Ghost be taking care of that?"  There are unfortunately no comic rules regarding faith mocking.  It's no big deal, and it comes with the territory.  As Jesus said, "Blessed are they who are the butt end of a bad joke in my name, for verily they will enjoy cheeseburgers in my father's breakfast nook."  (I may need to check that translation).

Those who can not easily shrug off such jibes might spend time imagining their taunter suffering through the chicken nuggets of hell.  Others, with faiths better equipped for such situations, declare a mini-jihad and hide rotten eggs in the offender's car trunk.

I prefer to fight fire with fire.  I might respond to the above cheese question with, "Is this the world instance in which those coals are going to be hot enough to cook before I starve, or do I need to wait in a box with a dead cat until Shrodinger releases me into a multiverse of cooked meat?"  I don't get invited to many barbeques, actually.  Still, it's amazing how much modern science relies upon faith.  Granted, that faith is not in a supernatural supreme being, but rather in the collective wisdom of men over the centuries (and has anything been proven wrong more frequently than that?).  Many of the concepts are just as fantastic as any mystery of religious faith.

Take quarks, for example.  They can not be directly observed, and exist only inside the strong gravitational force fields of hadrons (which were first discovered by the Jedi council as a hiding place for midichlorians), but we've named six types, my favorite of which is "quarkalicious prime".  Okay, I made that name up, but they should use it.  Instead, these particles, which are what theoretically make up protons and neutrons, have mostly boring names like "up", "down", "bottom", and "top".  But there are also the "strange" and "charm" quarks, which fall into the category of virtual and anti-matter quarks, which spring from nothingness from time to time, much like lone socks in the dryer that is our universe.

Having trouble understanding how unobservable matter springs from nothingness?  I'm guessing it comes from the dark matter superstore outlet.  Current scientific theory has 95% of the universe composed of dark matter and dark energy, neither of which can be observed.  However, the existence of dark matter and dark energy is necessary to explain the behavior of what we can observe - the "normal" matter and energy that fills up our science books.

Finally, we have a theory just as difficult to swallow (har!) as transubstantiation!  It's our turn to make snarky comments to our enlightened atheist friends.  Imagine the countless minutes of fun to be had!

Bob:  Can you hand me a beer?

Chris:  Hand you a beer?  I'll do you one better.  I'll muster the power of dark energy to cause a beer to come to you!

Bob:  Or you could just open the cooler your feet are on.  Say, is that a bottle opener on the bottom of your shoe?  Awesome!

Chris:  (Talking into a bottle)  You have no idea of the power of the dark side!

Bob:  Are you okay?

Chris:  I am your father!

Bob:  So, is that a 'no' on the beer?

Chris:  (In cookie-monster voice)  Energy negative have you.  Anti-charm quarks does cause.   My beer summons interfered you by.

Bob:  I'll get it myself.

Dark energy could also come in handy at work.  

Boss:  Chris, did you get those TPS reports redistributed with the proper cover sheets?

Chris:  Not as such.

Boss:  Because we really need to be using the new cover sheets on the TPS reports.  Did you get the memo?

Chris:  I believe dark energy, which is so powerful it is causing the universe to expand in spite of gravity, may be interfering with the new TPS cover sheet policy.  I was thinking we should have a company barbeque to discuss it.

Boss:  Yeah.  Did I tell you about the management opportunity in our Cleveland office?

You can probably use dark energy to get out of any predicament.  Traffic tickets, forgotten anniversaries, attempts to board a plane with hair gel, you name it.  It has to be true.  It's science!  What can the dark side do for you?
