Sure, he's a little faith blind but he's pretty much a genius and brilliantly well written.I appreciate that while I called him intellectually "bankrupt" ordinarily I'm not summarising an entire person's character by my opinion, he has good qualities I'm sure, same as everybody, retrospectively speaking in this particular case looking at the language used to emphasise my point I may have been either overly abrasive or dramatic.
While I don't doubt his reasoning skills I'm unable however to retract my earlier statement about his inability to understand or at least appreciate what logical, sound and rational arguments are, since all of his published work seems to demonstrate just that, case in point unnecessarily redefining 'epistemology' in order to strengthen his arguments, its this excerise that so many Christian apologists before him have employed that grates me, though I suppose that reponse from me is hardly 'rational' either.
