No problems with the timeframe.

I said, '...any other matter of alleged errancy you wish to discuss.' Perhaps
you could clarify a few matters  
on your proposal:

1. How it relates to Biblical Errancy?
2. How one is supposed to affirm a miraculous happening without first
ascertaining whether miracles are possible or not? 
3. How one is supposed to affirm any event in the Bible without begging the
question of the event to be affirmed?

Apologies for the questions, but I have never engaged in a formal debate and
want to make sure that I fully understand the conditions the debate is to be
carried out before committing myself to it. Your patience would be appreciated
in consideration of this.
