Hey sharp,

Well why don't you guys take him on. If you win the debate you win the debate, irregardless of if he has the $250K. I think if the debate actually was going to happen ,the $250K would materialize from somewhere.

It really doesn't matter who "wins" the debate. What's important is having a written record of it for everyone to see. It's also important to allow each side enough time to respond fully.

Charisma may be cool on stage, but in the long haul it's unimportant.

Happens all the time in my life. Some guy pops out and says, "Well, if you two are going to debate, I'll put up a 250K prize for the winner."

The problem with Hovind's offer is that he gets to choose the judges and includes his 'six forms of evolution' most of which have nothing to do with biological evolution. Simply put, his challenge is rigged.

We want him to participate in a written debate where his sound bites and appeals to emotion will hold no sway and where the debate follows the evidence.
