You are indeed fortunate to be able to be so much more expert than the Doctors of the Church, with apparently so much less education. Given your expertness, I confess myself totally unqualified to debate you.

God designed Christianity to be available to the humblest of persons. When Jesus walked around asking people "Who do YOU say that I am?" He did not first determine their university credentials.

I am deeply sorry that you have bought into the academic caste system of valuating people by their university pedigrees. No wonder you were so easily brainwashed by the lies of evolution. You can't even grasp your own thougts well enough to stand on your own feet like a man and simply SAY WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

Sad.

And how about God's design of Judaism? Who is that available to? Mormonism? Hinduism?

No doubt. However, there's a difference between being able to plug in a toaster, and being able to intelligently design a nuclear power plant.

It's not a question of an academic caste system. It's a religious difference. That every person should be able to determine the Creators' will, on his own, from a rather political 17th century translation of a translation of a translation of a compilation of a set of Divinely-inspired works is a very protestant idea.
