There was a debate called "The Debate that Never Was" It involved Dr. Greg Bahnsen and Dr. Michael Lou Martin. Dr. Martin never showed, and from that moment forward Dr. Bahnsen was dubbed "The Man Ahteists Fear Most". Dr. Bahnsen passed away in 1995 and Dr. Martin in 2015.

Imagine that someone wants to argue against the existence of air All the while breathing in air The Catholics have the Mitered Buffoon They say Protestants have the “Paper Pope” too Immanuel Kant said you can’t bring the noumenal and phenomenal together And it was for duty’s sake that we honor God, or whether Rene Descartes says I doubt therefore I must exist to do the doubting Akin to intellectual touting Friedrich Nietzsche said we can’t give up God because we believe in laws of grammar God’s anvil has exhausted many a hammer David Hume came to skepticism over the induction principle Bertrand Russell said the same thing Only Cornelius Van Til could say that the unbeliever is like a child sitting on his father’s lap Can reach up and slap his father’s face It is by God’s common grace that the unbeliever can sit on God’s lap reach up and infantilely slap His face The intellectual picture and metaphor Is in Christ who died for a Whore Heraclitus and Zeno can consider points in a stream not the same in time Or arrows that have antecedent range each and every time Copernicus and Kepler (even Aristarchus) are skewing heliocentricity Why wasn’t Ptolemy or Lucretius given verticity All today’s G.O.A.T.’s can buy their fame They won’t walk with the sheep on the last day John Lennon said it out loud imagine there’s no heaven We can equally posit imagine there is no Lennon The Auburn Affirmation could only deny Christ’s deity Jean Paul Sartre could only collar the Holy Spirit and throw Him out Wittgenstein could only show disgust in the ubiquity of God’s judgment on him Unless they were breathing God’s air And it’s the battling against the Holy Spirit’s work that is the unforgivable sin Matthew asked this author “How can you hate someone you don’t believe in?”

Hello Michael..' You have touched on a point Ì Have used in the past..? Greg and I had to be Guided by the Holy Spirit..My course was this I will say to the other person..Shall we have a Contest? Once they enquire what type I say just To see who can hold a breath of air the longest Once this is done..I note that air is invisible and Scentless and weightless yet we need it to live.' Once we have regained our breaths of course.'
