Don't take offense to this, but once I get a reply from Hitchy to my first post I will be ignoring most other posters to this thread for the purpose of discussing evolution and creation with a high school science teacher, one-on-one.
Just a point of order, here. If you wish to conduct a one-on-one debate without input from other posters, you and hitchy need to petition one of the Admins (via email, theoretically) to set up a Great Debate topic. These are moderated, completely free of interference, and judged by Admin (or you can suggest an alternative judging system) who awards points based on the quality of the responses - not on which side of the fence you're on. The last GD topic was "won" by a creationist (although IMO it was by default, rather than on merit). Still, that's the way to go if you don't want anyone else involved. Trying to limit participation by personal fiat in an open forum is, hmm, both arrogant and unlikely to be successful. The only downside from your stance I think in a GD format is that you will be limited to one specific topic, not all over the map from nucleogenesis to cosmogenesis to macroevolution.
edited to add link to "kinds discussion":
kindly creationists since no one's allowed to post on this thread apparently.
