Why doesn't the university host a debate between an evolutionist and a creationist? The debate venue is not unusual in the university environment, is it?

Creationist debating tactics go something like this:

1) Put forward about 50 sound bites about why evolution doesn't work (no transitional species, dating techniques don't work etc.)

2) When your opponent is unable to answer all 50 of your points in the short time alloted to him in a debating context because the answers are much more complicated than the sound bites, declare victory.
