Your conclusions are the only one you can come to based on objective analysis that you can comprehend. What you fail to realize is how much more God is: Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Just because you cannot place God into a concept you are able to grasp, you dismiss Him. Or worse, you invent a god that is what you want him to be. How sad that you refuse to accept that which you cannot see or explain. But understandable: Ephesians 4:18 "Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart".

You may impress others with your words and your supposed education, but not me. True wisdom comes only from God: James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

You have stated your credentials in a display similiar to that of a mating peacock. I am not even able to verify that you went to a "tech" school, much less obtained a PhD. If I told you I had a PhD in Biblical Studies, would you automatically accept everything I said concerning the Bible based on my stated education? Probably not. And this is based on what I told GX. You have a presupposition, just as I do regarding the Scriptures. I will never sway you, nor you me as long as we hold to our presuppositions.
