I’ve come to the realization that virtually all the discussions here can be summed up as a problem of conflicting worldviews.
Bush and Kerry weren't trying to convince each other.
A debate isn't for the participants, it's for the audience. In a political debate, you might be able to convince a few people to vote for your side. At EvC, you might be able to convince a few lurkers not to vote for YECism in schools.
Every lurker counts.
