I didn't make a claim to infallibility. Interpretation is not the issue, though I'm sure you'd like to make it that.
Did I ever study logic, yes. Irving L. Copi. Still on my shelf. Peter was a fisherman. I'll leave that hanging there while you consider the number of people here you just attempted to insult who may not have a degree and have a pretty good grip on scripture. Elitism isn't new. Nor do credentials mean anything to you or I could Quote Walter Martin and be done with it.

Beyond that, you've merely thrown rhetoric. I've claimed no monopoly. That's standard rhetoric meant to try to single me out as a lone person rebuking your clergy. Couldn't be farther from the truth. If you want to debate, debate. If you can't win on the facts, slander is not going to win the argument for you any faster - it just shows the weakness of your position. It's the first resort of anyone losing an argument. And that is a well known fact. It's a gauge learned in first year debate to tell you when you're winning. I don't much need it; but, it's nice to see it still works.

Nice dodge, but it isn't going to work.

The fact is: YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY to shout everyone else down.

All you have is a shrill and obnoxious tone, supported by fingers in your ears and the cowardly avoidance of the numerous questions you CAN'T answer BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG!

Enjoy your sick little dead-end church of one. I have to shake your dust from my feet for now, but I will be back when I have time.

ROTFLMAO!

At http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1037248/posts?page=63#63 , our friend claimed:

"a theory is an opinion".

And as was pointed out at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1037248/posts?page=70#70 , that is not correct:

"Incorrect. A theory is "An entire body of knowledge associated with a particular area of study, including the basic postulates, predictions based on these postulates, observations and experimental data, and their interpretation. [Cal Poly Physics Colloquium, 9/23/99]
Theories are well described, repeatedly observed, and verified statements. When they have repeatedly confirmed over a long period of time, the theory for all practical purposes is used as true or fact, (sometime referred to as superb theory such as quantum mechanics)."
