However, others have the time to write books attacking and misrepresenting creationist positions. Many are teaching what I feel are outdated evolutionary ideas and refuse to place themselves in a forum where they must defend what they are teaching. If you are going to teach something, you should be willing to defend it, especially if taxpayers are paying your salary. Creation is a religious idea. It is not science.
Creation certainly has religious implications, but much scientific evidence bears on the subject.
Only the scientific aspects would be permitted in this written debate. An editor would remove any religious, or antireligious, comments from the exchange. If my comments were only religious, the editor would strike them from the debate. I would have nothing to say, and the evolutionist would win by default. I don't want to give creationists a forum.
