Rather than engage in gross generalities, why don't you deal with the
specifics of the points raised against your position? Are you hiding fron
them? Are you wanting to avoid the hard work of answering such questions
as: Why did God call the world 'good' rather than 'perfect' while you
insist on saying the created world was perfect? Why don't you explain the
detail of why you are going against what the Bible clearly says? Why don't
you deal with specific answers to the other questions the others asked you?
Any rhetoretician can throw out generalities, it takes a real scholar to
deal with the details. Which are you?
