DAVID: Thank you for accepting that God is different!

dhw: If he exists, of course he’s not a human being. God being “different” is no reason for believing an illogical hypothesis and rejecting a logical one.
DAVID: Your 'logic' is not my logic.

dhw: You admit that my logic explains mysteries that your logic can’t solve, but you say “our human logic doesn’t apply”. So you can believe your illogical human logic, and you reject my logical human logic. Not much logic in that!

DAVID: Twisting my comments. All I have given you is that your theories are consistent with a descritpin the history of the universe and evolution. I think my theories are just as consistent. I did not use the word 'explain' which carries a much different meaning.

A theory is “an idea or set of ideas intended to explain something about life or the world” (Longman). If your theory can’t explain the history of the universe and evolution (but mine can), I don’t know what your theory is “consistent” with.
