The debate you imagined isn’t over because it could never start.
There could never be any debate involving your cult. With you there is only a echo chamber of calculating hucksters and gullible wish thinking fools affirming an infantile preconceived notion because your cult threaten you with hellfire and load you with Unscrupulous guilt trip if you don’t.
The serious debate could never involve the likes of your kind. Amongst serious scientists the debate has been over for a hundred years. There is neither evidence nor need for design. Natural elements sufficient to convince of their adequacy is readily to be found for each and every step needed from prelude to life to you.
So take your head out of sand made from jesus capolite.
The scientific community disagrees with you. 51 percent of scientists are believers and 41 percent are non-believers based on a Pew poll result. Once the stigma of ID wears old, I expect that number to increase even more for believers. Also, 89 percent of people in the US believe in God based on a Gallup poll.

I've never seen such utter disgraceful deception in all my time here, a quick look at you first link quickly confirms that it is not 51% of scientists at all, lets highlight some of it. *bold and italics mine in the quotes below*
Quote:A survey of scientists who are members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press
Firstly it is only members of the AAAS, it is deceitful and wrong to list any result form a single group of 51% of scientists as a whole.
Lets go on...
Quote:According to the poll, just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power; specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God, while 18% believe in a universal spirit or higher power.
Only 33% of this limited group believe in god, That does NOT mean they believe in creationism or that DNA is intelligently designed. Many of the scientists polled have no qualifications in the appropriate fields.
Lets have a look at the second link...
Quote:89% of Americans say they believe in God
In a separate poll, 79% say "believe in God" and 10% "not sure"
All measures of belief in God show declines from previous decades
If you want to believe that figure will go up, fine, but the statistics certainly don't show it.
Many Scientific associations are opposed to intelligent design, here is a list of some.
