approaching 80

Well, Praise God. Moses was 80 when God could finally use him to free the Jews from the hands of the heathens! Forty years earlier, Moses tried doing God's Will 'his way'.

with no background whatsoever in Debate

Ah, just like Moses - he said 'he couldn't' and that's what made him usable. All the Glory goes to God when one knows he can't but ONLY by God working through him, he can.
