You're holding up the CES letter as some near-infallible holy scripture, but it's really regurgitated propaganda.malkie wrote: If you can show me where I made such a claim, I'll respond.
FAIR and Bennett. Since there are no new claims in the CES letter, FAIR has had these answers on-hand the whole time. Bennett just did it in the same format as the CES letter.You said "it's been totally annihilated by Bennett and FAIR." So, not FAIR - just Bennett.
Bennett's is an actual, direct response. FAIR has had the answers on-hand for a long time. Responses generally don't claim anything new. Book reviews, for example, do not add anything to the book.Bennett explicitly states that he recognizes that he doesn’t have any new information or new perspective. If Bennett's response is so much better than that of FAIR, this makes me wonder if FAIR really put any serious effort into debunking the CES Letter.
Runnel's "snark" is far snarkier than Bennetts, yet you read (and revere) the CES letter. Why?I started to read the "faithful answers", but I'm afraid I find his snark more than a little off-putting.
LOL, he's already tried to respond. What more is there to say?I may find time to read some more, but I expect that I'll wait for Jeremy's response to Bennett - should be out soon.
In the meantime, however, it's worth noting that the reddit-mormonscholar thread suggests very strongly that Bennett's confidence in his rebuttal of the CES Letter may be a little overstated.

That's not worth noting at all. That says nothing new.
