That one really was the grand finale. I mean, seriously. We're not just talking about post hoc interpretations of cheery picked passages retrofitted to resemble modern scientific understanding of the universe while under the influence of confirmation bias to make the spurious assumption that there could be no natural or coincidental explanation and so GodWroteIt is the only option.
All that stuff I expected.
No, we're way past that point on the last one. Some apologist actually read Lev 15 and (1) thought it would be a good idea to draw any attention to it and (2) seriously thought it was good advice on hygiene at all, never mind advice that could only have come from a divine source.
I do understand this correctly? Right? Someone actually read Lev 15 and thought "Wow, this is good advice. We need to run this to print and share this!"? You see why I was so stunned? Why I broke with my usual style and typed in all caps and swore twice?
Fuck me!
Apologetics is truly the profession for those who have no shame.
