I find it amazing that there have been any Creationists at EvC for at least a decade and honestly there is no longer any reason to expect Creationists to come here.
I would have to disagree. While I find it amazing that there is still such a thing as a Creationist, the original logic of having a balanced and legitimate platform for debate about the topic is still as valid as it ever was.
There must be some other dynamic at work that keeps them away as there is no shortage of them out there.

In depth debate is a bit of a niche thing and it stands to reason that most who identify as a Creationist would not be predisposed to examining their beliefs in depth.
