You know, Josh, you should really lay off the patronizing bullshit and
answer the points, rather than thumping your "bible(s)".

There's no reason for you to assume he'd be as credulous as you seem to be.

Taylor wrote a fine rebuttal of your argument (which you have edited out.)
Do you seriously think we're going to believe the answers are in your book
any more than we believe the answers are in the Bible?  Yes we can read
the book: but you have already.  Do us the courtesy of summarizing the
book's rebuttal to Taylor's argument, rather than insulting us.
