Tenatively Rejected
Unless you can narrow things down some or provide some basis for furthering the conversation, I don't see where this can go.
I will leave this open so other Admins can comment or so you can revise the OP to offer some hope of this proceeding towards some reasonable destination. As is stands I don't see much hope of discussion.

On using links
Links can be used, sometimes effectively to support or refute a position.
But we are here to discuss things together. You are expected to make your case in your own words, using links only in support. In many cases more than just a link may be required, something to point to the particular part or portion of the link that you consider significant.
The overall argument though should be from you, in your own words.

Cut & Paste
will draw down the wrath of the administrators even faster than arguing by links.
Cut & Paste of sections, like links, should only be used to support or refute a position. It is up to you, in your own words, to make an argument.

Re: Quite possible?
The best place would be a new thread. Pick one of the assertions from AIG. Then start a Proposed New Topic. In the Opening Post state in your own words what you think is the subject and what your position is. Include a link to the specific AIG topic to be discussed.

It's time good people.
Might I suggest that a continuation thread be started to explore this but with only one clear example to be discussed? Perhaps the A&E tale or Flood tale or Biblical cosmology could be the starting point and all discussion limited to that one tale?
