Hook, line and sinker
Well, you have to give them some credit, they did try to cover all the bases.
But we have to remember that they were writing for a non-critical audience, and an audience where only a tiny percentage were literate.
It is different nowadays, but even with high literacy levels many people still cannot see how transparent these cop outs are.
Certain types of Christian will be quite content with these excuses, the fact that they are nonsense doesn't come into it.

Re: Hook, line and sinker
on the contrary, i think the argument for matthew being satire is quite convincing. evidently, someone mut have been discriminating enough to pick out the bits that were silly and make fun of them.
(the irony being that nobody in today's more literate times gets the joke)
