I think you might be right if we factor in the entertain value of such speculations.
And yes, we Christians need entertainment. And their speculations, I admit, tho wrong, are still entertaining.
Playing in the sandbox of our imagination is fun ... I have to admit that. So I concede your point.

No that isn't what I'm saying. Sure the mistakes look funny sometimes, especially when they happen to other people. Like theology, science has made huge blunders along the way. Shall we abandon science because of the errors? Shall we abandon theology? Scientists learn from their mistakes and carry on. That's what I'm trying to do.
