Here is an interesting anonymous objection that I received recently, regarding my book "The Challenge Of Creation": "You quote certain people in your books that I do not usually see quoted. What are your requirements for someone to be considered a Jewish authority?

Does this not make him suspect regarding anything he says? Why should you pay attention to him at all?"
