I just arrived back in town from a debate jaunt down to LA. The hosts of the debate, Alpha/Omega Ministries, were gracious in every respect, and I enjoyed meeting James White, and thoroughly enjoyed our debate. The event was videotaped, and will be available some time soon. When it is, I will post a link here.
In some respects, the debate was another round of what I have called “paradigm bumper cars,” but I thought that some of the exchanges were particularly helpful and revealing for those who stand to profit from this debate the most. I have said before that this whole thing is a battle for the second year seminarians, and I believe they will be able to gather a lot from this exchange.
My thanks again to James White and his colleagues for the gracious reception, and for the debate. My opening statement will be in the next post. I was under a full court press by the time limit, and so some portions of the opening statement were dropped and showed up later in the debate. But this is how it was originally written.
