[Vision2020] Wilson debate?

[Ralph Nielsen]

Doug Wilson had the chance for a written debate with a Bible scholar  
at least as early as 1994. But it seems he didn't take it. Vide  
infra. I wish I knew the Bible half as well as Farrell Till does.

I had a written debate with Wilson in his publication.  Did you ever  
see it?
Wilson made the same mistake that I think the presuppositionalists on  
the
errancy list have made.  He took the position that objective morality  
exists
because God exists, and without God there is no basis for morality.  I'd
have to find a copy of the debate, which I have filed away somewhere,  
but I
remember he made the claim that without God to reveal objective  
morality to
us, we are left with over 5 billion subjective moral opinions. He then
evaded my request to explain why 5 billion subjective opinions about  
what
the Bible means in matters of morality would be any better.  I  
suggested a
longer debate to him, but he never reacted to the suggestion.
