How do you tell the difference between gibberish and theology? The experts apparently can’t. [1] This brings to mind Daniel Dennet’s quote:
The philosopher Ronaldo de Souza once memorably described philosophical theology as “intellectual tennis without a net,” and I readily allow that I have indeed been assuming without comment or question up to now that the net of rational judgement was up. But we can lower it if you really want to.
You’ll have some fun reading this Sokal-style abstract [1] for the fake article that passed muster.
