Thank you for the comment! Nevertheless, the proposition of the article is vastly different from one that appeals to authority. Argument from authority means substantiating a conclusion base on the endorsement of (often irrelevant) authorities. (e.g. Galilei believes in Christianity, therefore Christianity is correct). However, my post merely argued for Christianity WORTH ATTENTION because many esteemed and intelligent individuals believe in it. This is different from saying Christianity is true, thus my post doesn'tconstitute the appeal to authority fallacy.
