As a creature (and that's all we are apart from Him) man does not have the ability to say "yes" to God.

I find this sentence interesting on a number of levels.

Apart from Him, we do not even have existence, let alone free will. Our very being is contingent upon Him sustaining us.

Now, being created in His image and likeness, we have the ability to make choices, including moral choices. That sinners are incapable of choosing good would seem to be empirically disprovable.

Alright... then we agree.

would seem to be empirically disprovable.

In the future just assume that ALL of my arguments are disprovable. You'll save us all a lot of time. :-)

Gotta run. Surprise date night.
