ROFL!! If they "refuse to debate", then how did they "always lose"? Do you even think things through before you write them?

In any case, science is not decided by stage-show "debates". This ain't politics. And "debates" on stage are crappy venues for presenting the kind of volumes of evidence and analysis by which science is actually done. That's why scientific debates (*real* ones, not the "play-to-the-audience" kind Gish et al like to do as publicity stunts) are done in journals and forums.

Are you really this ignorant of the process? Do you really think that scientific theories can be properly vetted in a 30-minute stage show? If so... I'm wasting my time. And you've wasted your own.
