You can do both: I'm a patient guy and am willing to wait as long as you need to compose your debate posts, no worries. I just like debating evolution, and you seem very convinced of your position; you might be able to convert a few people with longer posts that'll attract an audience, like a debate would...

I am sorry, I would like to move to Argument #2. I said I would post 7 and would like to move ahead.

Convert a few?
Maybe a few Atheists into a few Anti-theists...

It will be really hard to evade the tough questions, and one liners and non-answers and pleas to incredulity, ignorance, and Bible quotes wouldn't save you!
That's ok...if things go awry for me, all just ask you'll if we can step outside and settle things the ol' fashion way.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Try here.
Try not to be too upset if the answer's no, though.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
