Yep. I have heard them argue it. "God does not have a beginning god is eternal." "But that is just an assertion, if you can assert that god is eternal then I can assert that the universe, a multiverse, or a cheese sandwich, is eternal." " No it is not just an assertion , it is in the BIble/Koran and that proves it."

Logic and reasoning are not a part of religions arguments for things. Also, remember, that Martin Luther also taught that christians should avoid knowledge, reason, and learning.

Reasoned argument based on intelligence and facts is not religions strongest expertise

No shit

Apologetic nitwits are so entrenched in their dogma, they can (and will) defend all absurdity. I find myself becoming less and less patient/tolerant of them for sure!
