Is There Anyone Able in the SBC?

I have questioned from the beginning whether the upcoming debate is in the best interest of the Caner brothers. I truly believe they do not want to be in the position they are in. I have linked to an earlier email exchange between Dr. White and Dr. Caner, which clearly demonstrates this.

Dr. White has Blogged some more on this issue. So I stand by my initial thoughts. The Caner brother simply can not afford to do this debate. They are simply out of their league.

Although, I for one would be glad to see such a debate occurr. It should only be done in order to show both sides what is truly believed by both sides. The debate should be done for clarification. People who love God's Word and the consistent exegesis of it would greatly benefit from an open and fair discussion. The problem is that the Caner brothers are simply not able to do this.

We do not need a debate that spends most of its time knocking down straw men. We need serious indepth discussion of the real issues at hand. Paige Patterson seems to understand the issues better than most. Would he be willing to do this instead of the Caner brothers? Would someone of a scholarly backround in the SBC and, or Liberty please come forward?
