===Greg Bahnsen and Michael Martin===

Dr. [[Greg Bahnsen]] became known as the "man atheists fear most".<ref>http://mywebpages.comcast.net/webpages54/ap/biobahn.html</ref> The reason Dr. Bahnsen became known as the man atheist fear most was that [[Harvard]] educated Dr. [[Michael Martin]] was scheduled to debate Dr. Bahnsen but pulled out of the debate close to the debates arrival. At the time, a press release stated that Dr. Martin offered ruses on why he pulled out and didn't want the scheduled debate recorded but the real reason was that "Michael Martin is afraid that he will be publicly humiliated just as his friend and fellow atheist, Dr. Gordon Stein."<ref>http://www.serve.com/thibodep/cr/press.htm</ref>
