messenJah,
Truth is not arrived at by democracy, nor are arguments won by numbers. It doesn't matter how many people there are on one side, or how few on the other. The side with the best supported argument wins. Creationists lose, a lot. That creationists aren't great in number is hardly the fault of the admin.

Mike,
I dont think the evidence is that impressive, even when I ask questions. Besides it doesn't mean creationists have all dissapeared, just 'cause they don't respond to every little question.
Why then have you failed to win any evidentially based argument?
What is unimpressive about clado/phylogenetic analyses being congruent to the tune of trillions to one plus of it occurring by chance, that you find particularly unimpressive?
What is it about corroborative radiometric dates that come up with 70,000,000 : 1 of the results occurring by chance, of dating JUST the tektites of the K-T boundary, that you find particularly unimpressive?
Of course, you won't respond to the above, you, like other creationists wear evidence sensitive sunglasses. A simple logic free dismissal, or simply ignoring the data is enough. No wonder why you aren't impressed with the evidence. You've simply never honestly addressed it. But when you have made an assertion (sans evidence, of course), you get shot down.
Prove me wrong, tell me why the four different methods corroborate against v-a-s-t odds of it occuring by chance, show me you can critically address evidence.

Wounded,
I think this was one of Percies ambitions, to set up a debate between two people, rather than loads of us tipping up. There could always be a parallel thread where everyone could post.

Re: ...
Crash,
Most Evolutionary Theory degree units in Britain tend to be year 3, not sure about the rest of the world. One I looked at required a full Bsc before you could even take the course (& it wasn't an Msc).
