Actually, it can be proven. And since she said, "not just my opinion", I
think
it is fair to expect her to either point us to a proof or start on the
proof
herself in her response.

So you love to repeat. But it is only _your_ opinion. It is not an opinion
shared by those who actually know what they are talking about.

But this is irrelevant. It does not _have_ to be a "view of all". It only
has to
be the view of those who know what they are talking about. And that it is.

No, you are not. What is more, this is where you should havce admitted
that it
is "only your opinion". It is not Christ that leads you away from Christ.
