This is one reason why we will give account for every useless word, and by our words we will be justified or by our words we will be condemned.
Evidence, as if any were needed, of the accuracy of Matson's Hypothesis of Why Fundies Are Shitheads.
Quote:Bible-believers are full of clever (and some not so clever) rationalizations. The crucial question, however, is not whether "answers" can be generated in response to Bible difficulties but whether credible answers can be produced. What is the best explanation? Bible-believers seem to think that any loophole, however improbable, that gets the Bible off the hook has solved the problem. Thus, it is not surprising that different, conflicting answers are often presented side by side. It never seems to occur to these people that such logic will also support the story of Goldilocks and the three bears! Or the Koran. Or, anything else. Once we abandon the probable in favor of the improbable--or even the less probable--we have abandoned objectivity.

Hence, as in the example given by the prof, the dumbest shit slides out of their mouths and they think it is good enough.
