Criticisms
In his talk show, he is criticized as giving the appearance of an unbiased, moderated debate, but instead argues the fundamentalist position as strong as any of his guests. Luther Rice Seminary & University (wwwLRUedu is a private Christian college and seminary in Metro Atlanta Georgia. The fundamentalist debater and Ankerberg rehearse together beforehand to coordinate the debate and assure that the fundamentalist position wins. He is also criticized for bringing strong debaters to argue his positions and weak ones to argue positions he opposes. He also will try to blindside his opposition by bringing up obscure and irrelevant points of attack outside the bounds of the debate, after assuring them of the scope of the debate.
