Re: You haven't been able to provide any recent (read: in the last two decades) examples of any of the people you named debating evolution with creationists in a formal setting.

Your claim about my actions is inaccurate - and I expect it is because you need to familiarize yourself with the top of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism

If you want more evidence, try this:

"Creationism vs. Humanism: Christopher Hitchens vs. Jay Richards"

This guy was formally debated last month - he's an evangelical Christian who believes in the virgin birth, immaculate conception, resurrection, the holy trinity, god's covenant with the jews, a designed universe - and is from the Discovery Institute. A big enough nitwit for you?
