As I have said, I prefer to let evolutionists define evolutionism. It's been maintained that "evolution" is somehow restricted to that which has always been observed: offspring differing from their parents. Obviously this is not so.

The second problem is that the evolutionist debater has an upstream battle from the start. Evolution is a complex set of ideas that is not easily explained in the sound-bite razzle-dazzle of the debate format. Evolution applies to astronomy, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, anthropology, biology, geology -- you name the field, and evolution will relate to it, like as not. Most audiences have an abysmal understanding of basic science. How are you going to bring an audience up to par? The goal of a debate (I assume) is to teach the audience something about evolution and the nature of science. This is possible in a debate format, but it is difficult to do well, because it is not easy to do quickly.

Seems to solve that little puzzle about why discoveries in astronomy are a threat to the religion.
