319. Man of Science
Teaser: In which the Captain challenges the Priest's claim to be a man of science, who is more than happy to provide evidence for the hypothesis.
CHURCH INTERIOR Priest, Captain, Ranger
[FRAME 1]
Captain: Back up, how can you be a man of science?! You're a priest!
Priest: I became a priest BECAUSE I'm a man of science.
[FRAME 2]
Captain: That doesn't really clear things up either.
Priest: I'm happy to explain. We all agree the gods exist, yes?
Captain: Obviously.
[FRAME 3]
Priest: And we've all witnessed their power, too. Resurrection, healing, purification of poison, all demonstrable and repeatable effects, of which the gods are the only logical cause.
Captain: I guess I follow.
[FRAME 4]
Priest: Given that, what was an ambitious young philosopher to study? A pathetic field like metallurgy, endlessly experimenting to find the right proportions of the six metals that will yield a slightly sharper sword?
Priest: Or theology, where the right combination of words and gestures can imbue that sword with the power to cut ghosts!
