Hows the Debate? Debaters and their Style

Whats everyone think of the debate? Whats the opinion on contestants and participants in The Great Debate. Who are the tough debaters, the ones that require you to think, research, and use that brain that you may or may not think God gave you? Whats your opinion on the Debaters and their styles, creationists and evolutionists theistic/atheistic and Old/Young earthers? Whats your style?------------------

The creationists are all a bunch of numb-skulled weenies, of coarse.
I'd give you an opinion of the evolutionist, but I can't because I'm lost somewhere at Talk.Origins.How many evolutionists does it take to install a light bulb.None. They all wait for one to evolve to where it can install itself.Moose (by the way, ever drink Guiness Stout with expresso - Woo Wee!)Added by edit: If that light bulb evolved from a incandesent to a flouresent, would that be micro- or macro-evolution?Added by second edit: We know our debates are jokes, but can our jokes be debates?Added by third edit: I find it amazing that no one has commented on the distinguished university that I am a prof at.Fourth edit: Edit messages edited------------------
BS degree, geology, '83
Professor, geology, Whatsamatta U
Old Earth evolution - Yes
Godly creation - Maybe

--haha, I thought you would say something like that, but be realistic next time "How many evolutionists does it take to install a light bulb.None. They all wait for one to evolve to where it can install itself."
--LoL, you'll be waiting a long time there uh..buddy.------------------

I heard that ear for Year. 3 letters bet ter than 4

A burglar breaks into a house one night. He`s moving around the living room with the light out when a voice says "Jesus is watching you". Well the guy shits himself and whirls around, switches his torch on and sees..... a parrot.Obviously he`s pretty relieved by this and he goes over to the parrot and says "hey buddy whats your name then?""Theodopiphilitas" replys the parrot."thats a fuckin stupid name for a parrot" says the burglar."Well yeah but Jesus is a fuckin stupid name for a rotweiler" replies the parrot.....

Thats the only version I know, whats the real one?

"Thats the only version I know"
--LoL, I can almost see the crowd your hanging with."whats the real one?"
--This is a close match if not the original one, I found it on the internet with a quick search in altavista.------------------A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place into his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a long vacation after his next big score, then clicked the flashlight back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so that he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you."Totally rattled, he shone his flashlight around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot."Did you say that"? He hissed at the parrot "Yes," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you. " The burglar relaxed."Warn me, huh? Who do you think you are anyway?""Moses," replied the parrot."Moses," the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a parrot "Moses?"The parrot quickly answered, "The same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."------------------

And what "crowd" would I be "hanging" with then?And in what way is my version twisted? Use of an old anglo-saxon verb? The euphemism of shits himself over was terribly surprised?Are you honestly saying that the prescence of a few swear words makes a joke twisted? I`ve heard plenty of jokes that contained no such language that were far more "twisted" than that....Oh and where I grew up the sort of people that would break into someone elses house to steal from them would have no compunction about using the f word.... in fact they use it as an alternative to punctuation.....

Twisted in a way as the cinderalla story by disney is twisted in that pc game Cinderella. It isn't twisted from the swear words, twisted from it being so far bent from the original joke (at least I think thats the original), which ever way its twisted somewhere.------------------

How apart from the verbage is it twisted from your version?My version, burglar breaks in, hears voice saying "Jesus is watching you", finds parrot (Theodopiphilitas), talks to parrot, turns out Jesus is the rotweiler.your version, burglar breaks in, hears voice saying "Jesus is watching you", finds parrot (Moses), talks to parrot, turns out Jesus is the rotweiler.Hows my version twisted?

Its kinda like Cinderella, Have you ever seen the Disney version (Movie) and then watched the Game version (PC Game), they have all the same basic things, its got the rabbit, its got cinderella, its got shrooms that make you big and small and all that stuff, but the game is all twisted from the Disney version (a little more-so than our joke) or the Disney version is twisted from the game, it could be either. But for our joke, its just that its a bent version, whether you think thats kewl or not.------------------

Tweedle dee and dum are from 'Through the looking glass', sorry
couldn't resist!!! ... and as far as I can see the two jokes were the same, but
Joz's was funnier ... mainly cause it got to the point faster ...
jokes are more about timing than language.'Bad' language or not doesn't really make much difference
when you grew up in the Eastend of London ... even little
old ladies use f**k as a punctuation mark, whilst clipping
you round the ear fro taking the lord's name in vain!!!!
