somehow the basic subject matter seems to change. I do not believe
that Marion or myself have that much problem with other's theories
concerning the age of the universe. I consider this a complex subject
and though I disagree with some theories, I am not stronly persuaded
one way or the other. I doubt that Marion is. But I think that He
would be much open to discussing the age of the earth, the flood and
evolution. Neither of us are that adamant in affirming much about the
universe but would love to have a discussion on earth age, the flood,
and evolution. NOw, I suggest that you solidify a position on thes
things and let us discuss.--------Gary

Gary,

As I have indicated before, it is my opinion that Marion has the
wherewithal to engage Todd directly should he have a serious interest
in a more formal discussion of some relevant, specific issue. 
Interesting that, with repeated prompting, he has failed to do so.

Alternatively, I have indicated that others are much more in a
position to exert the moral influence necessary to compel Marion and
Todd to reach an agreement on a proposition and the details and get
the discussion moving.  Todd seems ready, willing and able, but the
holdup appears to be with Marion.

So, I must leave the details to others, while taking some note of who
might be the one holding up the discussion.

Sincerely,
Robert Baty

Dear Robert:

   Marion has never been reluctant to discuss the flood or earth age. It should be obvious to those not following all this what is happeining. The subject matter is deliberately being restricted to something other than the flood or earth age. Marion's Book is not about the age of the universe but the flood and it's geological impact. So what do we do since we cannot refute him. We try to allure and badger him inot a discussion that is so broad that it is difficult to pen one down--to isolate. But if we can allure him to debate the flood --presto--we can at least tuck tail and run if we can't disprove him. Interesting how sure everone was that his views on the flood and flood geology were incorrect but none will actually engage in a public debate where charts can be used to teach an inquiring audience.---Silence as usual. Oh--I know what we can do--we can debate him on the age of the universe!!!-----Gary
