You've created a category were "more respected thinkers" is just another term for those that take a tack you agree with, regardless of the above. That some thinker attempted a synthesis of demiurge and the form of the good and then drew an equals sign to their pet god, ignoring all of the other contradictory bits of platonism with respect to judaism and later christianity qas well, is a matter of historic trivia...not a contestable fact that I'm going to spend any time debating with you.
In short, I'm sure that you can find a nutball who swears to christ that the christian god and the god of platonism are identical..but so what? You can find some nutball to say anything, and then call them "more respected thinkers" - that's been the business of god beliefs since the beginning of the business of god beliefs.
Dante Alighieri is a more respected thinker than Ken Ham.
