Uh-oh! Now you've defined a heresy, Bruno.
I was only explaining that the use primitive matter to avoid the
consequence of comp, is like inventing a god to justify the falsity of
evolution.
It is not an a heresy, but a very unconvincing move. It is the same as
saying "all right evolution does explain many things, but it fails
completely in explaining how God made the world in six days, and so
evolution should not be taken seriously".
You can call that an heresy, but usually we call that "begging the
question". Only pseudo-sciences and pseudo-religions do that
systematically.
