RE: CT article: Darwinists, not Christians, stonewalling the facts

The phrase is not significant at all, George. Anyone constructing a
theological view, or a scientific view does not have access to some
metaphysical source of all knowledge to know how much historicity there
is. Thus, your statement " how much historicity there
> is in Genesis, " is irrelevant. How on earth do you PROPOSE to answer
that question? Are you going to ask God? Are you going to decide for
yourself? If you have no independent means of knowing how much
historicity there is, then you, like I and like others are merely
deciding the answer to that question based upon personal whimsy.

If you have another source of divine and irrefutable knowledge to answer
that, then please let me know so I can access it also.
