In real life, any sacred text can be interpreted to suggest contradictions and other errors. In order to suggest that all sacred texts are wrong, the screenplay's character must pick interpretations as if they are the one and only interpretations. For all the man's intelligence and study, he apparently never talks to anyone who can argue with him in as as an equal. This leaves only young girls who come to his door. If that's the best the writers can do, it's just a run-of-the-mill horror flick and it gets a 7. The girls are too smart for teenagers, the man is too smart for an evil recluse, and the ending shows that the writers were not smart enough to invent a truly satisfying twist.
