What you describe sounds like a great outing to me. I'd love to join you sometime in fries and astronomy.

Your remark about the bad theology reminds me of a Jewish joke about a guy who goes to pick up a pair of pants from the tailor. Jokingly, the guy says, "What took you so long? It only took God six days to make the whole world!" The tailor replies, "Yes, but look at these pants, and look at the world."

Like most Jewish jokes, it loses a lot without the intonation.
