How old is the Earth?

Well which team appears better to you? It's the same argument schools use to not play Boise State. They put out an open invitation to play anyone anywhere in 2011 and nobody took them up on it. Why? Well it was not because people thought Boise State was "too crummy of a team", even though some said that. It's obvious they are worried about losing to Boise State- so they would rather just avoid them. It would also be a huge embarrassment to them if they lost to Boise State because they get more funding and have more students than Boise Stete.

It may be "obvious" to you but this is only your belief, and it is not any form of knowledge. From the facts you have, you cannot justify in any logical way that what you say is true. It *could* be that all other teams are scared of losing, or it *could* be that they are all being honest and only want to focus on playing better teams, or any other possibilities that aren't in the realm of impossibility.

It's the exact same situation here. Evolutionists get way more funding and there is way more of them, but for some odd reason they are afraid to death to debate Creationists. They know they could lose that debate and this would be a HUGE embarrassment.

Wha...? I don't know how many Evolution vs Creation debates I've seen, both in real life and online, but I can tell you that I wouldn't be able to count them all on all of my digits (including my toes). You shun YouTube, but seemingly have never searched for any creation vs evolution debates...maybe you should, you'll be surprised at how many have actually taken place over the years.

Also, who "wins" and who "loses" a debate is entirely subjective; it depends on the audience (which includes everyone watching the recording too) and is largely biased due to our nature. Creationists in the audience will think the creationist won, and evolutionists in the audience will think the evolutionist won. Occasionally you get some people switching sides, but it is a rarity and in these cases they do not switch sides permanently (i.e. they admit that the opposition did better in the debate, but they still believe that he is wrong). Debates aren't used to determine truth, they are displays of who has better reasoning when put on the spot.
