Dawkins is not even close to beimg the most important Biologist around, but he is perceived as such - so indeed maybe the debatimg should be done by someone with a slightly lower profile. This is exascerbated by the fact that he is really not a very skilled debater. Others like Matt Dillahunty, say, can expose creationists much more skillfully where Dawkins has a rather limited rhetorical arsenal of scoffing, reiterating a point from one of his books, looking baffled and shouting "evidence!!!".
There is nothing to debate with creationists. They effectively lost the argument decades ago but cling on to their stupid beliefs in the hope that all of science will be proved wrong.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
