"The refusal of many scholars to accept or even consider such matters can
only be explained politically or theologically, not scientifically. These
interpretations begin to take us too close to the truth. Both Judaism and
Christianity are large edifices, and to crack their weak foundations by
actually discovering the truth is something that their ethics do not
include. For these scholars, there is an eternity of comfortable life in
obfuscation whereas the truth might render their sinecures finite." (Dr M D
