Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)

[Statler Waldorf]

I agree with Richard Dawkins who says that as soon as you start debating creationists you give them an equal platform as if somehow they have a valid argument that demands to be heard on equal footing with evolution and geology etc. when clearly the whole notion of creationism is nonsense.

This is the reason why I have given this particular thread a pretty wide berth as the more you debate them the more they come back at you with even more preposterous pseudo science and given that the vast majority of the Christian world now fully accepts evolution I think it's a subject that is to be vigorously and actively ignored wherever possible.

Yeah Dawkins is well aware of the fact that if he gives creationists an equal platform he is no match for the amazing consistency and overall validity of their position. I don’t blame him one bit for avoiding a debate he'd surely lose, hence why I avoid wrestling grizzly bears. I just wish he’d be more honest about his reasons; after all he seems to have no issue giving televangelists an equal platform with himself on his BBC television series. Although I kind of lump Dawkins in with the televangelists when it comes to intellectual fortitude so maybe he should stick to debating them.
