Re: why it matters
Well, it might matter to him to know if there is much of a balanced viewpoint here. Which, of course, the answer to that is absolutely not.
As one pointed out, there are less than 5 regular contributors who don't believe in evolution, and it is really more like just 2, sleevesque and shadow71, who write very much (and it should be pointed out that their style is very mild and un-confrontational- an important distinction compared to the styles of many of the evolutionists here).
At some points there were more people who were willing to challenge and debate some of these hard core evolutionists, but most of those posters (including myself) have simply grown tired of the unequal treatment in moderation, and the continuation of ad hoc nonsense that one has to put up with here to bother contributing any further. Arguments from non-evolutionists are derailed by silly name calling and by gross false semantic objections that destroy the communication process. So to be honest, to answer your question, the amount of diversity is extremely low.
Note: I suspect that I will be told this answer is off-topic, when in fact it is completely on topic, but this is what often happens to opposing viewpoints, and probably the greatest reason why there is little diversity.
You yourself, you know, have the option of making frequent posts of substance rather than dropping in at random lengthy intervals to contribute your usual childish whining about the people who disagree with you.
Or at least in principle you have that option. It is not equally clear that you have the capacity.
