That's exactly the point. There isn't anything new to debate on the topic. Even those topics contributory to the theism/non-theism debate (biogenesis, first cause, evolution, morality, justice, etc) have been done to death.
I suspect, but cannot prove, that EVERY SINGLE THEIST who shows up here looking for a formal debate has read something in Craig or Strobel or McDowell that they think is so Earth-shatteringly compelling, no atheist could possibly counter it. Of course, they never ever take the trouble to research refutations to their apologetics de jour, they just blunder on in with all the tact of a wild boar at a Hassidic wedding, never stopping to think that maybe...just maybe...we've heard it before.
