Semantics, evasion, and likely the no true Scotsman fallacy on the nature of philosophy.

I explore the meanings of “wild” and “wilderness” in numerous articles, such as the ones below. Of course, the argument is philosophical since it stands between science and religion, and it extrapolates the upshot of scientific theories.

“Disgruntled opinions” is ad hominem. You could say the same thing about any conclusion you don’t like, so that’s just a distraction. In any case, it’s not just an opinion since I put it in the form of an argument. Do you know what an argument is? Hint: the argument here is in the form of an appeal to the best explanation.

And I didn’t hear any reason from you to think that God is love. So, I take it these fallacies of evasion are just meant to distract from the fact that you have no valid counterargument.
