"To engage creationists in formal debates lends credibility to creationism, which evolutionary biologists and most other evolutionists regard as being as valid as flat-earthism. Asking biologists to debate creationists is like asking astronomers to debate astrologers."
This again is true. Creationism has no credibility outside literal minded biblicists. And its not just pure scientists that hold creationism as a wrong outdated idea, this includes groups from other religions, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Buddhists. Creationism is a disease which primarily afflicts "born again" americans.
