I take it when you state "Scientists won't debate you", you mean debate ID or Creation science. Obviously, ID and Creation science has made great inroads outside academia because it has not been outlawed here. There's only one reason debate is closed in academia, and that is this so called "SOCAS", and liberals love to hide behind it. Not that I believe that the earth is flat, but I don't mind it being debated. After all, school should be open to debating even this so as to bring the evidence against it. Now I will assume that you believe the religion of Darwin and ask you this - Do you hide behind SOCAS, or do you believe your Darwinist "science" can hold up in debating it in government schools?
Where?
Debate is closed in academia because Creationism isn't science. It's a supernatural theory, and science deals with nature.
I don't mind the flat earth being debated either; by immortals who have nothing better to do. But we teach science to our children poorly enough already without wasting time on a) discredited theories and b) nonscience. The Earth is not flat, and it is not 6000 years old. There is no scientific evidence that either of these things are true.
So teach the controversy, right? Teach flat earth and spherical Earth, Heliocentrism and Geocentrism, Alchemy and Chemistry, Astrology and Astronomy, side by side.
No thanks. You can teach your kids that crap; the world needs ditch diggers too.
