I'm sorry, but we were under the impression you wanted some evidence behind our assertions. The whole point of having teams of 4 people each was so that different people could tackle different points. We've managed to tackle all your points so far as a team.

Well you challenged us to the debate, so you'll understand how we all see this as admitting your view is flawed and you wanting to duck out of the debate early before you've even presented any evidence for creation.

But after that, when they have been fairly warned and advised, we're supposed to forget them. So that's what I'm going to do, one last time. (I've never done THIS, actually, so I feel I should before I leave.)Even though this is a debate forum.
No, you are supposed to present your view in a debate. You haven't done that, you've simply attempted to refute things we've said by demonstrating a severe lack of knowledge in the subjects you were discussing. Your view of Evolution is a straw man, taught to you by websites like AIG who don't actually know anything about the evolutionary process at all. It's easy to knock down a straw man argument for Evolution, because it doesn't correspond to the actual argument as evidenced by reality. If you want to leave the debate that's fine, but you haven't given us any evidence for creation and all your refutations have failed.
