We believe the most efficient use of time would be for you to submit your question or comment via email beforehand with phone contact information, then we could call you directly to debate the question. I hope you understand the reason for this, that specialized "surprise" issues can make for boring radio if the opposing side needs to do some research to talk about it. This goes for both sides.
Except that apparently it doesn't, since you apparently do not propose to give advance warning of your answer.
I would point out that as far as having advance warning goes that advantage would lie with you anyway, since you can find out what an evolutionist is going to say about any given topic by looking up the facts, whereas creationists are for obvious reasons rather less predictable. You know that they're going to say something silly, but the specific blunder or equivocation will vary wildly from creationist to creationist.

You're that guy from that evolutionfairytale site, aren't you?
Then I can think of one obvious problem with your suggestion. Based on your antics on that forum, what you would do is, the moment the evolutionist started proving you wrong, you'd hang up the phone, continue to make mistakes about science without anyone to refute you, and insult the evolutionist behind his back. 'Cos apparently you have no confidence in your ability to debate.
Now, if you were to pledge not to do that ... then I and others could decide what trust to place in the word of a creationist.

Last Friday, Dec 3, we discussed this article on our half-hour 'Real Science Friday' show. We are interested in giving evolutionists the opportunity to call in and comment on either the article, or what we discussed on the radio.
While there are a few questions I'd like to ask you, I can't comment on what you said on the radio last week because I wasn't listening. Nor, indeed, do I have a radio.
While I can spot numerous instances of gormless stupidity in your article, in order to comment accurately on it in toto, I should need to read the fifteen papers referenced in the original article, and I do not currently have access to Nature.
Nor, I presume, do you, since you never quoted a single word of any of the papers; and while this did not inhibit you from forming a view on their content and validity, it would provide me with certain difficulties, since I prefer to base my opinions on the facts.
