My challenge to Sye Ten Bruggencate

Sye Ten Bruggencate is a 5-Point Calvinist whose claim to fame is his promotion of Calvinist apologetics or "presuppositionalism" (i.e., that god's existence is properly basic and not up for discussion, hence, Christians should base apologetics arguments upon the presuppositon of God's existence, and not allow God's existence to be itself debated...a stupid philosophy that arises from the equally stupid first point of Calvinism (unbelievers have "total inability" to believe the gospel).

Here is the challenge I posted to Sye's contact page:
Do you believe it objectively immoral for an adult man to have sex with an adult woman against her will (rape)?
Do you believe that sex between a 25 year old man and his 6 year old wife (i.e., sex within the confines of adult-child marriage) is objectively immoral, yes or no?
Would you be willing to have a discussion about how the bible answers these questions?

Sye shouldn't have a problem with this challenge, as it is not asking to debate God's existence, but only challenging Sye with a subject he's been willing to debate before: that some human acts are objectively good or objectively bad.
