Hosts rebut proof 26

A host asks Troy for initial thoughts, then the hosts dismantle the proof: the Bible is written for all people, not the literary elite; unbelievers cannot be wowed by a story they deem fake, citing 1 Corinthians 1 ('the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing'). They liken an unbeliever reading the Bible to a layman reading a brain-surgery manual, argue that disagreement presupposes the text means something (so it can't be 'nonsense'), use a pogo-stick exercise analogy ('it's only useless because you are not using it'), and push back on the proof's 'primitive men like you would find in the remote regions of Afghanistan' line as offensive, naming Socrates, Plato, and John Locke as counter-examples. They close the proof with a preview of week 27: 'think about life after death.'
