Debates aren't a very good measure of truth value.
I'm not sure how debating a Nixon speech writer, when the Nixon speech writer has already been shown to have made fraudulent claims repeatedly, would solve anything.
In fact, this seems like a hyperbolic non-response appeal to authority: The fact that you trust Ben Stein, an actor and political speech writer's subjective personal opinion and admitted interest in denying science because he believes it is "evil," over biologists, paleontologists, educators, and international scientific consensus, speaks volumes.
If you're not interested in the facts, what's the point of debating your subjective opinion?
Might as well go stand in the middle of a freeway while posting Argument #2: Automobile Forms Do Not Exist.
