Road of Life,

Boanerges beat me to a response I didn't feel I had time or energy to write, and he's spot on. My hackles went up the same point--why no biblical answer from the student, if he's going to be bold and articulate enough to give the more acceptable philosophical analogical answer? You can spot these things a mile away--word-for-word transcriptions of dialogues complete with dramatic tones and gestures; the more "real" it sounds the less likely it is to be. And no atheistic professor going down this track would ever fall into the little traps laid by the student. This is the same error that the medieval scholastics fell into when they formulated the classical "proofs of God" which fail precisely because they attempt to operate apart from the authority of Scripture and assume that intellectual persuasion is sufficient to quicken a dead sinner to life.
