Yes, he is. So, is that who you were having a discussion with? Because what you cited actually comes from articles Matt Slick has published at CARM (i.e., not a discussion). Contrary to the sensitive knee-jerk reaction from Dotard, I had nothing to say (either good or bad) about the point being made in that piece. Wasn't even interested in its point. As you were probably able to figure out, I simply noted that it was Matt's work and wondered whether or not you were having a discussion with Matt himself.

Curious: What answer do you generally receive? Mostly "yes"? Mostly "no"? Sort of evenly split? Ignoring the question asked?
