"Of course they are human"

I am glad to hear it. Your considerable prior usage of "inhuman" to refer to non believers in the supernatural--had a bit of the feel of the ad hominem and the subjective. To refer to a peaceful, benevolent, and exceptional individual such as Dr. Russell, as a savage tyrant--well, this did seem to obscure the value of any worthy arguments you may have been trying to make...

1 a : lacking pity, kindness, or mercy : SAVAGE <an inhuman tyrant> b : COLD, IMPERSONAL <his usual quiet, almost inhuman courtesy -- F. Tennyson Jesse> c : not worthy of or conforming to the needs of human beings <inhuman living conditions>
2 : of or suggesting a nonhuman class of beings

if the objectivity of the human world were really objective it wouldn't be so subjective would it? The "denial" of the "objective" human world can also be seen as proof of the subjective nature of that reality. If you were inclined to see it that way.
