Doesn't matter if that proof, or evidence, isn't what it's claimed to be, or falls short of doing what's claimed to be on the tin; simply shooting it down as nonexistent before it's even been presented is hardly conducive to a reasonable discussion - the bread and butter of a discussion forum.
Who is forestalling anything, DP made an addition to the scriptures that has absolutely no support at all, until he brings that support then his supposition's dismissal needs no action on our part other than to discount it.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
