I don't disagree, but FWIW, I've spent quite a bit of time studying theology, and Christian apologetics and YEC in particular. I actually ran a Bible study in conjunction with a local church for about four years. So I may have a little bit more leverage than you think.

Could you share what your leverage is in this case and how such leverage is reflected in the material? The preceding comment was a critique on your written material, not your personal leverage in the community.

The strategic purpose of this particular installment was to preemptively inoculate against ontological arguments for God, i.e. the argument that God is the source of logical and mathematical truth. But I didn't want to actually come out and say that explicitly at this early stage. I'm intentionally avoiding any overt mention of religion at this point. Does that answer your question?
