That quote above isn't neutrality to Scripture, and the wisdom of God. That's opposition, in the form of human pride. This is why it was a mistake for any regenerate person to sign on to the MD.

Fools despise wisdom and instruction, even if they come to a right conclusion or two based on human reason (see Proverbs 1:7).
