You might want to look at the transcript of the discussion between Duane
Gish and Hugh Ross on Focus on the Family (September 1993 I believe), which
was in the talk.origins archives last time I looked. If by some chance
it's not still there, I might be able to find the tape I made the
transcript from or maybe the file I posted (for that matter dejanews may
have it too). Here was Gish arguing with a fellow Christian on a
nationally disseminated radio program and coming close to making a fool of
himself in his desire to discredit him. It's not pretty.
