They are matters for belief, or not, but are as irrelevant to science as the words of any other book purporting to expound history.

I've asked Greg a couple of times about his insistence on arguing his faith as though it were logical or scientific. I can understand that people have this "thing" going with God that feels real and causes them to believe. If Greg would just say that he had been graced by God with faith, I could accept that. I couldn't relate to it, but I could accept and respect it. Faith is totally alien to me, but I can get my head around it as a concept and recognize its existence.

OTOH, when he superimposes this scientific or logical framework over it, it just doesn't work. I don't know why he tries to do that. It's like trying to play baseball with a frying pan. When you've got a bat, use it, and leave the frying pan for cooking.
