My boss said it best. "My faith requires that I ignore everything I learned. I grew up believing in science but to follow my faith I must believe in the Bible."

This was his response to me asking him how he thought carbon dating was fake.

Im not religious and I talk circles around him about the Bible endlessly. He's so stubborn about it that I can basically shut him up about anything but simple quoting the Bible at him and then spinning and s twisting it to fit anything I want.

I'll even point out to him that I'm doing it and how it's manipulative. But he just says if you can make the argument from the Bible then no matter what it must be true.

He's explained he's so scared of going to hell he's willing to "unlearn anything" if it means he will be saved

Its baffling.

What about the part where the devil cites scripture to tempt Jesus? Does he think the devil was correct? Or Jesus? They can't both be.
