Science Professors: Eagles, Jackasses, and Bullsh*tters by Mohammed Abu-Bakr is a unique and ingenious approach to capturing and holding the reader’s interest in the study of the Natural Philosophy of Atomism, usually just called Atomism. Abu-Bakr shows that this natural philosophy is the greatest intellectual force ever developed in the Western World. Sometimes, it is called the Atomic Theory. A person who believes in this natural philosophy is called an Atomist. In Atomism, physics and metaphysics form a unity that explains the true cosmology of the universe. Abu-Bakr classifies science professors in terms of the positions they take regarding Atomism. He uses the eagle to symbolize a highly intelligent person. He calls a science professor who believes in Atomism an eagle. He calls a science professor who rejects and opposes the basic principles of Atomism a jackass (a foolish or stupid person). He calls a science professor who teaches a distorted form of Atomism, such as the modern Atomic Theory which says that atoms have been split into subatomic particles, a bullshitter. He says that a bullsh*tter is a person who talks nonsense in order to deceive people.
