I always took that one as just the SAB being a bit cheeky. The idea that you'd actually dig up answers to such a silly and harmless comment is pretty funny.
I feel like someone asked why the chicken crossed the road, and you answered with a dry lecture on the migritory habits of gallus gallus.
Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
