Actually there are practically equally exasperating internal contradictions in the field of (for example) quantum physics. Not talking mere "mysteries" here, but working contradictions. And "working" is the key word, because regardless of the illogic, the application of that illogic yields reliable results!
But here's something more recent about Camping's Recent Appearance Post Ordeal (note the acronym.) The key sentence is #4. "I'm looking for answers." Does not that explain a lot? The desire for certainty drives religion, both the good kind and the wrong kind.
