And if you had read my post and actually understood it, you would know my reasons for dismissing this 'lecture,' though it wasn't as quick as you have asserted.
I have several reasons for dismissing this 'theory,' the main one being the fact it has more scientific and historical evidence pointing towards it being false, than actually supporting it. But if I were to play along with your line of thinking, I would think if this was on the same level as the current mainstream faith systems, it would be the laughing stock of the scientic and historical communities, and still would have several of the problems you think it wouldn't.
Why do I think this? I have met so many Christians and Islamists who 'think' they are following their faith system so devoutly, and are such strong 'believers' yet, they fail to represent the most basic principles of that systems and appear, a bit hypocritical. However, at their core, neither faith system is close-minded or illogical but their followers make them appear to be either through ignorance or misguidance, or by choice. Whatever the case, they both are very open, accepting, respectful, and understanding of all people.
If we lived in an idealistic world with idealistic people, then maybe something like this could be a true example of how 'religion' should be, but a truly open-minded, logical, rational, and objective person would at the very least admit they could potentially be wrong; even if they are certain they are correct.
With all of that being said, I do accept that I could be wrong, and I do encourage people to seek answers to their questions, so if you want to believe in something like what this man is lecturing on, that's quite alright. Only you know what burden of proof will satisfy the requirements you have in regards to the origin of the universe, so go for it.
From a personal perspective, I find it highly unlikely that his interpretation of Jesus Christ from the Bible is valid and it explains nothing for me, as far as logic goes. From a philosopical standpoint, meh, sure, but just about anything goes with philosophy... Though it does not affect my philosophy on life.
I mostly do not like the way you dimiss the opinions of others and how quick you were to assume that I did not give your or Mr. Maxwell's opinions a fair chance. Nevertheless, it is your right, privilege, and freedom to respond to and engage others however you wish. Even though I will respect the opinions of others, I will not sit idly by when my character is challenged by said opinions. Just because I did not agree with your opinions or did not go into deeper detail in my responses does not mean I quickly dismiss said opinions, and the insinuation that I did, fell just short of being insulting. But since this is the internet, other than dignifying the matter with a response, I do not let anything truly insult me. I'm sure it was a miscommunication anyway.
