SECOND DEAVER-TILL DEBATE CANCELED


   While arranging their debate in San Marcos, Texas, Mac Deaver and
Farrell Till agreed to conduct a second debate on the same subject (Bible
morality) in Central Illinois.  After initiating correspondence to
negotiate the time, place, and format of the second debate, Farrell Till
received a letter from Deaver, dated October 17,1991, in which he said, 
"I no longer have any interest in debating you in the near 
future."

   In the San Marcos debate, Till forced Deaver to say that every act of
killing an Amalekite baby ([ref001]1 Sam. 15) was a
morally good act.  Perhaps he has decided that he does not want to be put
into that position again.  At any rate, the second debate has apparently
been unilaterally canceled.

   The San Marcos debate was recorded by Thomas Gardner, 2229 Lotus, Ft. 
Worth, TX 76111 (Tel. 817-838-0828).  The last information we had both
audio ($15) and video tapes ($30) were still available. If any TSR readers
doubt that belief in Bible inerrancy will force one to defend the killing
of babies, they should listen to these tapes.
