That's the problem with evolution debates. One side thinks that one sentence is all they ever need to put into the debate. It is a religious mantra that does not bear scrutiny or questioning.

Yeah, like the one sentence, religious mantra, "god did it".

Of all the reasoned criticisms I have seen leveled (which, of course, do not exist the instant they are out of your sight),

Could you attempt to be less vague?

every one has been dismissed rather than addressed.

Oh, utter horse manure. Do even *you* believe this crap you write? On this thread alone, the following creationist "challenges" have been "adressed rather than dismissed" (or "addressed *then* dismissed", as appropriate), even though you claim that "every one" has been treated vice versa:

nasamn777's "dice football field" analogy. Addressed in posts #318, #334, #366.

nasamn777's "talkorigins leaves out stuff" charge. Addressed in post #317, #327, and #337.

Microgood claimed that evolution should require the number of species to continue to increase over time. This was addressed in post #324.

And so on. Your overblown claim is quite simply false.

And anytime someone points out that the only trick you know (other than your disdain for unbelievers) is that one sentence,

How, when, and why did you get on this "one sentence" kick? And just how often do you imagine anyone else makes the same goofy point?

you roar about how the level of debate has never risen above that level.

No, we ask what in the heck you're going on about.

Are you sure you're even reading the same thread as the rest of us?

I believe I already said that doesn't make for good science. No more than "evolution did it."

I wish. Again, there are some fairly straitforward challenges to evolution that simply are not addressed. I listed a few.
