Why God Never Received  Tenure at the University
     He had
only
one
major publication (DO).
      It was
{in
obscure languages}.
      It had
no
references (DO).
      It wasn't
published
{in a refereed journal}.
      Some
even
doubt[CNE]
he wrote
it (DO)
himself.
      It may
be true (PA) that he
created
the
universe
(DO), 
 but what (DO) has
he
done
{since
then}?
      His
cooperative efforts have
been quite limited.
      The
scientific community has
had a hard time
(DO)
 replicating his
results.
      He never
applied
{to
the Ethics Board} {for permission}
 to use human
subjects.
      When one
experiment
went
awry
he
tried[CNE]
to 
 cover[Note
#1] it up {by
drowning the subjects}.
      When subjects
didn't
behave
as predicted, he deleted
 them (DO) {from
the sample}.
      He rarely
came
{to class},
just
told[CNE]
students (IO) to 
 read the
Book.
      Some
say[CNE]
he
had[CNE]
his son teach[Note #2]
the class.
      He expelled
his
first two students (DO) {for
learning too 
 much}.
      Although there[Note]
were only
ten
requirements
(PN), 
 most students failed
his
tests (DO).
      His
office hours were
infrequent
(PA) and
usually
held
 (PA)[Note #3]
{on a remote mountaintop}.
