I wasn't responding to anyone specific, but if you're going to clutch your pearls over it, fine.

These explanations boil down to "god used magic to make it work, *insert some bizarre statement that shows the person has no understanding of the concepts they're talking about, both with respect to science AND the story itself*."

This is ignoring that nothing needs to be explained away; these attempts at rationalizing away perceived failures of the text don't work because these scenarios never happened. They are parables. They are moral lessons. They are NOT historical accounts, and trying to read them as such? THAT is the rude, disrespectful, and dismissive behavior right there. That's trying to twist text to fit what you want it to be instead of what it is.

The #1 reason given by people who deconvert is that they read the religious text themselves. Make of that what you will. I don't care about your feelings. MY point is that trying to rationalize away what logical issues you have with a text of moral lessons and parables is to miss the point of the text and do it a disservice.

You're the one who came into a topic discussing a matter of religion specifically to mock it. Not me.
