IOWs, "The Bible is True" was the mantra for all HIS positions. I am something of a presuppositionalist, but not in a way that says quoting a verse ends all discussion. But the name Van Til isn't part of the joke on those spoofy radio show pieces. It's just the name of the dog.

What is the reference to van Til all about and why is it supposed to be funny. I assume Cornelius van Til is referred to, but knowing almost nothing about him, the joke falls flat. So humor me, please. Thank you, Mort Hey, how about letting this obviously uneducated, unwashed gentile in on the joke. What is the reference to van Til all about and why is it supposed to be funny.
