Person 1: "Here's a proposition claiming to know the true origin of the universe. I can't test it, have no way of verifying if it's true, and it presupposes the existence of a supernatural being. I know that I myself am not privy to such information, but yet somehow middle eastern goat herders 4,000 years ago were. And since they didn't leave us any way to test their claims, I'll just take their word for it and accept the claim at face value because obviously the magic man told them the truth."

Person 2: "I know that ancient goat herders had no way of knowing what they were claiming.... And so that means it probably wasn't true. But I still don't want to risk getting punished by the supernatural magic man they told me about, So I'm gonna tweak their claims a little bit to try and sound less stupid, and fit better with things we've since discovered. And hopefully the magic man will accept my partial agreement with goat herder ideology and forgo punishing me, because I'm sure even he knows just how stupid the original claim was."

As dumb as both of those people are person 2 is dumber because he realizes he's being fed bullshit, but still picks around it and tries to eat off the same plate despite knowing that. Someone who accidentally eats shit is not as stupid as someone who intentionally eats it.
