That must be why our scientists routinely destroy your scientists in debate. Indeed, the evo-atheists have been so utterly humiliated in debate after debate that the high priests of the Temple of Darwin have issued an all points bullitin for their fellow darwin-drones masquarading as scientists to stear clear of debates in public or in print, lest the Creation and ID scientists continue shredding darwood’s evo-religious creation myth, and otherwise continue to make fools out of the darwinist priesthood.

Here is a typical example of what happens when a Temple of Darwin fanatic masquarading as a scientist makes the mistake of accepting a debate challenge from a Creationist or ID scientist:

In 58 million years you don’t necessarily get whole families of plants going extinct, but species and genera change. I have collected extinct fossil plants myself. I have also collected recent fossils which are very like the modern forms, just as one would expect.

Now about debates: the audience judges a debate (or any public presentation) to the degree that they have some background in the field. I will never forget hearing a lecture by Velikovsky, a very popular writer and advocate of nutty theories of planetary history. All the geology and space science graduate students were laughing at him. They could see that he was an obvious nut-case and a phony. The humanities majors, however, were very impressed, because they did not know any better.

Whenever he would get a question from a science major, he would change the subject and start rambling on about tribal mythology. The science students could see that he was dodging, but the English majors took his diversions as evidence of the amazing breadth of his knowledge.

So it is with debates on evolution. The audience is also influence by skill of the speakers, and many serious scientists are not really debaters — and they have no reason to have spent much time preparing for creationist arguments.

Ding....ding.....ding.....ding....ding......

We have a winner. This post sets the new record for the most cliches used in a single sentence to say absolutely nothing.
