As much as I would love to jump in and put my fist down... you know what I mean, this thread is a Q&A thread. It says so right in the title. What's a Q&A? Simply put, it is an ask-your-question and answer-your-question thread. Not a place to go into a deep debate.
Yes, it certainly is not a place to go into a deep debate, but what I believe PG is doing is avoiding the follow up questions that people are asking him.
Any time he gets backed into a corner, he claims that the argument has become "circular", which it really hasn't.
I think this is a typical symptom of the kinds of discussions that are likely to happen in a thread like this:
unbeliever 1: "If God says X in the Bible, why is it like Y here on Earth?
Pecos George: Well, read this passage, and interpret it this way, and see, it all makes sense.
highly-informed unbeliever 2: Well, no, you see if we consider how such things were done in a historical context, that doesn't make sense, and here's why...(in-depth explanation follows)
Pecos George: (nervously backing out of the room) This discussion is becoming circlular and the Bible says I shouldn't engage in circulr arguments, so I'm going to quit.
Generally, unbelievers ask too many questions.
