Harvey doesn't either.

Both are equally well documented.

Once again, you post a Bible quote that is completely unrelated to the
claim you are supposed to be defending. Still, you have utterly failed
to provide any evidence that the Bible should be used for any purpose at
all.

No fear of that. He's 60 and unmarried.
AFAICT, his "girlfriend" is his right hand.

And this, of course, is where Winn demonstrates a thoroughly broken,
unscientific epistemology.

To demonstrate how broken it is, how thoroughly useless both for science and
theology, one only has to consider: what answer can he have is someone else pops
up and claims to have a "modern revelation" that infant baptism is not only
good, but a commandment from God?

All he can do is complain that this other person is not following revelation
from God after all. But wait! Why should we not say the very same about Winn?
Who is really going to win this contest?

That is yet another reason why none of his crossposts belong in sci.physics. He
should have posted to alt.atheism only, and amused himself by watching the
rattled cages there.

Ronald Reagan was successful in deluding his followers. As a leader he
was mediocre at best. In honesty, he earned failing grades. I can see
why you would be proud to follow a liar.
