Eliezer never claimed that the dust specs in question actually happened. That would be silly! The bible does. He merely devised a thought experiment to get a point across. He might have used jesus’s alleged suffering instead, but it would have been a lot less clear, and people would get all hung up on the religiosity instead of the point. He also never claimed that there was any fundamental difference.
