1. How could a duck be invulnerable to a hunter armed to the teeth?
2. How could God travel backward to the beginning of Genesis so that a man becomes his master?
3. A clean-shaved priest says to a pious woman something that seamed unusual to her at first: "Prove that God has a beard". Can You explain this mystery with one tacit detail?
4. How about a $50 bet? I win if I write down the exact number of stars in the Milky Way on a piece of paper. Do you accept the challenge?
5. It has the power to extinguish all stars in the universe. What is it?
6. What did a cat say to a cute little dog?

2. I am certain that You're right.
3. As in, "Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm"? Not the expected answer though.

You have written the phrase "the exact number of stars in the Milky Way" so I'm confident you can write it again on paper.

Spoilers:
1. Perhaps because the hunter is hunting other wild animals at the moment. Silly. Or he is a hunter of peace, armed to the teeth with love.
6. Meow.

But maybe the silly hunter doesn't know that. Or she is Scottish and her surname is Duck.
