Who says I'm trying to motivate you?
I've been thinking about your theory and my arguing about it. I've also been thinking about why I'm bothering at all. Why should I waste my time to pick apart one of the most convoluted theories I've ever heard. I've certainly read my share of nutjob theories. But, this is the first time where I've been in discourse with the guy trying to sell the theory. I was wondering how far you could get before trapping yourself. Seeing as you haven't been able to answer some of the basic questions concerning your theory, I think we've found your stopping point. Now, I do find it fun to point out the inconsistancies of your theory and watch as you invoke more convoluted mechanisms to support it. But, eventually you'll reach an impasse. It might as well be earlier than later. That way you can say "Gee, that was a foolish theory." and move on with your life. I have a feeling that this won't be the case though. You'll maintain that you're just not done with it yet, or that it's a work in progress, or that you just need some grad students to help you work out the details. I think you're going to say that because all nutjobs eventually say that. Part of being a nutjob is that you can never admit defeat.

And I think this problem is exacerbated by the fact that you have spiritual capital invested:| Quote | | As far as your inquiry concerning whther Jesus gave me the answer to these questions, the answer is a qualified yes. All knowledge claims ultimately depend upon presuppositions, and only Biblical presuppositions can ground authentic knowledge. |
The ball is in your court, Paley. You can either continue on with your theory, answer some questions and make some predictions, or admit that this whole tirade is foolish. I'll be waiting either way. And I've made my predictions.
