The idea itself is not upsetting, it is the distortion to Biblical texts(as well as texts of early Christian authors) that is done in order to maintain it that is at issue. The case is essentially a matter of proof texts which never address the context the quotes are found within. All of the "UR" texts rely on looking at the quotes just right, with a squint, and completely ignoring the intended audience and issue at hand with the books they are found in.
I've found that to be the case with ET proof texts as well. And ironically in some cases both the ET supporters and the UR supporters use the same proof texts to support their position. So perhaps that means they're both right and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I think what should mainly be taken into consideration is, what is the most likely outcome based on God's overall plan of restoration throughout the entire Bible?
