I agree that we "cannot answer every query, every objection, even every fact thrown up that undermines Scripture or theism." Indeed, most who continually ask are not necessarily interested in truth and in many instances are not truly looking for valid answers to eternal questions.
Of course, one approach is to establish a quid pro quo arrangement with the inquisitor. One side asks a question and then the opposing side asks a question in return in an attempt to illustrate the absurdity of the proposition of empirically answering every question to a subjective standard. Some example questions would be, "what is the origin of matter (or universe)," "how does time function," "empirically prove you love someone," "how does something (or anything) come from nothing" (given almost every atheist believes in the big bang), etc.
The point is that anyone can pursue this illogical approach and achieve nothing of intrinsic value. Prior to his death even Immanuel Kant concluded that there must be a God (or a Cause), and that life would be meaningless without a Supreme Being creating us for a purpose.
Thanks again for the "Report."
