Bingo. I’m sure that is it.
Even Behe is calling Lenski, @nlents, and I “darwinists” when we are not darwinists in the way he means it. I’m not a darwinist in any sense. Their rhetoric is (to varying degrees) rooted in name calling, and if you take that away, what’s left? No surprise they don’t want to debate someone to whom the slurs don’t stick.
I would greatly prefer that you do a direct one on one conversation with Behe vs. a public debate or even public “conversation.” Has that already happened recently?
Then perhaps a written, direct conversation between you and he, point counterpoint.
Debates are part theatrics and are very limited in time and not thrilled when Christians have to resort to debating each other.
That leaves open the question why he won’t engage with @art, even after he said he would. @art is a phenomenally incisive and clear and informed critic. Axe should be terrified of him, and he likely is.
Tried many times to engage that way. They don’t want to do so. Lately they have gone into character Assisination mode with me (you haven’t seen?). I think they are concerned about what to do with me.
I’m not sure if I would have agreed to a debate in the end. I probably would have asked it be changed into a dialogue.
Send him to me! lol
That’s too bad, I’ll pray that they reconsider.
Wow! Even I am terrified of this Art character.
I’m sure it’s a ploy @nlents. It is Axe against the world. Everyone is biased unless they agree with him from the get go. Though, let them prove me wrong by inviting you into dialogue. That would be great!
If it’s the show Unbelievable, I would say go for it!! Justin Brierly is an excellent host! Either way, you should get yourself on Unbelievable!
“The Fool and the Heretic Part Deux”? Need to think of a spinoff title.
How about The Old Way and The New Way?
agreed! If it is Brierly, do it. He seems to have a very well run, open conversation – something about the British that is endearing even if we are more O.K. Corral here in the U.S. of A.! However, I am gathering that the your interlocutors wouldn’t do something on friendly turf such as the Unbelievable! show.
