- To begin with, the issue is not whether anyone likes or agrees with my answers.
- For instance, to the question of what was positive for creation, I gave what
- I consider to be positive evidence for creation. In objective terms, when
- somone asks "What is. . . ?", the statement "This is:. . . ." is, by
- definition, an answer to the question.`

- I must disagree. If I have not answered them satisfactorily, I have answered
