Rather than apologizing for claiming that Dr. Ergun Caner's critics were engaging in libel and slander, Dr. Norman Geisler has decided to make an attempt to defend Dr. Ergun Caner (link to attempted defense). In the following series of posts, we'll examine Dr. Geisler's defense of Dr. Caner to determine whether it has any merit. The first thing I want to point out is that Dr. Geisler provides no primary source material to corroborate anything that Dr. Caner has said, with one exception. The one exception is a citation to the Koran: "Surah 2:51." We'll address that one in turn in one of the following posts. But the bottom line is this, Dr. Geisler provides no new primary source material, such that the pool of evidence is increased. Nevertheless, he provides a certain amount of commentary and reference to alleged further information, and we'll address that in the posts that follow.

I think you mean with one exception, rather than without one exception.
You are quite right. Fixed it now, thanks.

Did you mean Dr. Geisler provides no primary source material to corroborate anything that Dr. Caner has said, with one exception? Or did you mean that Dr. Caner himself is giving the information but provides no corroboration?
This stuff is such filth, how can he actually still defend Caner. I was a fan of Caner too, went to Liberty (even stayed after becoming reformed) mainly because I liked Caner and thought his apologetic course would be great (I have changed a lot). But how can anyone still defend his claims, he made up Arabic sounding words. It amazes me that people write it off as misstatements, what if he stole? would it be mispossession?
And another thing I was thinking about, how come calvinist bloggers, and James White get yelled at because their disposition (always called angry, grumpy or jerks) but Arminians embrace Caner's anger, cockiness and grumpiness.
The first think I want to point out...
I think you meant thing.

Thank you Ms. Schatz. You are also right.
