Define intimate.
I'd like you to pick one and eliminate it by logic and reason in a way that does not apply to Christianity.

You're sounding a little like Bill Gates defending an anti-trust case. You claimed that all of the belief systems I mentioned can be disproved with logic and reason in ways that Christianity cannot. This implies that you have in-depth knowledge of all these belief systems. I'm just asking you to back up the claim.

You said "Each and every one of the cited viewpoints can be eliminated by virtue of logic and reason. Christianity is the only one which stands to any and all equally-applied disciplines of man.". I'm asking you to do what you claim can be done: discredit one of the belief systems I listed above, using logic and reason, in a way that cannot be applied to Christianity.
Staying within the realm of known things, only one belief system suffers no contradiction.
There is no realm of known things, other than pure mathematics. The professor explained this several times. You cannot achieve UNC-Truth, only PCP-truth. And again, as the professor explained, the scientific method (of which there is only one) is the only one we have yet found that can hope to give us PCP-truth. The Christian religions suffer the same problems as all the other religions when it comes to providing us with any kind of truth.
You are failing to demonstrate any disagreement over what the scientific method is, just as you failed to demonstrate in the 'Religious Scientist' thread that Christianity is not, or that Naturalism is, a religion. As I recall, your response to my last criticisms in that thread was that you had no more arguments to offer.
