Notes I have carried on my PDA or in my Franklin planner for years: Why God Never Got Tenure at any University?

Just some silliness.
Question for Academics to Ponder: Why God Never Got Tenure at any University? A bit of humor.

1. He had only one major publication
2. It was in Hebrew.
3. It had no references
4. It wasn't published in a refereed journal
5. Some doubt He wrote it Himself
6. He may have created the world, but what has He done since?
7. The scientific community cannot replicate his results
8. He never got permission from the ethics board to use human subjects
9. When one experiment went awry, He tried to cover it up by drowning the subjects
10. He rarely came to class and just told students, "Read the book"
11. Some say He had His son teach the class
12. He expelled His first two students
13. His office hours were irregular and sometimes held on a mountaintop
14. Although there were only 10 requirements, most students failed.
