I found our friend's most interesting question to be, "Do you posses the same credentials as Nibley?". Had Nibley been born in a non-Judeo-Christian society, studied the ancients, and then converted to Mormonism based on his findings his 'credentials' may be a bit more interesting.
Someone who spends their entire life defending the faith they were born into by drawing vague parallels without much consideration of time or place isn't building good 'credentials'.
