But since this debate does not take place on the public stage (primarily because the proponents of the ToE refuse to take this responsibility)....
Do you know why that is? Because such debates are always in favor of the creationists. The creationists refuse to debate fairly. I'll be damned if I see one debate take place at a non-religious venue, or on the scientists terms. Just look at any such debate. Hovind, for example. Always at religious places, full of his followers. Hell, the first time I saw that joker, he even had ME fooled. So much so i tried peddling his videos (this, of course, was before I lurked teh webz in search of a better answer. Family members now say I am "confused" and I "need to find jesus to not be confused" because I haven't stuck to the first "neat" thing that came about)
The creationists also LOVE to gish gallop, then claim victory. And for the layperson, it appears as such, since the scientist can't possibly be an expert in every field raised by the creationist (hence the despise for Gish Galloping).
then it is essential that this takes place on the internet, sicne there are no other places where it can have a large audience.
There are also few places for it to be even remotely un-biased.

I arrived here at EvC as a charismatic evangelical Christian.
I would have NEVER guessed that.

I would have to say that, even though it appears to be geared to "evolutionists", this site gives creationists and religious zealots an extremely fair opportunity to state their case. Just look at all Calypsis4 has been able to spout off unabated.
I have learned more here than I have in all my time searching the internet, namely because specific issues are addressed by people with different points of view. just look at how many interpretations of the bible by people that claim the same god.
