debate from the 1980s between Norman Geisler and John Cobb on Process Thought
(a.k.a. Process Theism, Process Theology, Process Cosmology, Process
Philosophy) and the
strange, panentheistic God-world model of A.N.Whitehead. John Warwick
Montgomery was present at the debate and told Norm that he had just
totally destroyed Process Thought.
