This is my unproven theory as to why Drich is so stubborn.
We have to look at things from Drich's perspective. I don't know his life story, but it seems that somehow he survived AIDS. I don't know if he is permanently or only temporarily cured. To him, it was a miracle, so he gained faith in God, feeling that he must express his thanks to Him.
Now, to Drich, not accepting the word of God word for word would be going back on his debt to God. But, he likes science, too. He tried to show how science can be applied to the Bible so that he could stay faithful, and perhaps help us, too.
it has been shown with little doubt that Drich's ideas are wrong. However, he is like a scared cat, backed into a corner. He is fighting drastically to stay faithful. I don't know if we can ever de-convert him, because he will believe anything to stay faithful, even if he must accept the impossible.
And that's how I see things. I may be completely wrong, but I don't pity him, I hope the best for him.
