What makes you think there would be a flood of debating?
I have not been here nearly as long as you have. But I spent considerable time reading through the archives before I made my first post, and I still peruse the archives on occasion. There is plenty to suggest that there has been a severe drop off in the number of creationist visiting and participating in discussion, sometimes heated than there are now.
During my own time here, I do recall seeing and participating in more debates and with a larger number of creationist participants at the beginning of my time here than I do now.
have been around here for 9 years and have seen very little debating.
Interesting. I am not going to challenge you regarding what you have seen, but my own investigations suggest something different about the history of activity and debating on this board. Perhaps our definitions of debate are dissimilar.
Debating is when a subject is discussed with one side affirming and the other side denying.
Yeah, I have seen plenty of that here. Apparently you missed it. Please forgive me if I don't participate in an insult swap with you.
