How in the name of Christ could this be a take?

Well, Christ said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Seriously, though, key features in White's favor that I'd note in this position are:

1. White has made her 4pt. This gives her a pretty sound forward position, with her blot being her only weakness.

2. White is not that far behind in the race and Blue still has to escape his back checkers.

3. Blue's 6's are duplicated to hit and make his bar. So Blue won't be able to do both of these at the same time (barring 66) and may not do either.

I think that changing any of these things in Blue's favor will make a big difference. In particular if you shuffle Blue's anchor and/or White's 4pt around in White's board to create a more favorable position for Blue then I think White will have to drop.
