It really doesn't surprise me or shouldn't surprise anyone else who's ever dealt with fundies because their whole belief system is based on just believing things and not using critical thinking at all. I've had religious people tell me that when it comes to religion I analyze things too much, and should stop that and just believe. Yeah, when you refuse to even think logically about your own beliefs, that portion of your brain is going to shrink.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
