How do creationists debate?

I have never really seen a uniform Theory of Creation.
I have Never really seen substantial evidence to support creation.
Usually I just see attacks on the viability of Evolution,
but disproving Evolution still does not prove creation.

Did I miss something?
Can anyone cite the argument rather than just bible
verses and linking websites with no peer review??
Is there something more than
"I believe…." because "The Bible says…"?

"God said it.
I believes it.
That settles it."

That’s pretty much the bulk of the creationist argument.

    I’d pay good money to see a good creationist debate. GOOD MONEY.

  5. Creationist side of a debate (most of the time):

    The Bible said (insert wad of bible text) and therefore it is true because God is true.

    You missed nothing. They don’t debate — or rather thay can’t. All they do is spew fear and ignorance.

    Nope.

    The Bible is all the evidence that they need.

    It is the word of God, don’tcha know?

    It says so, as do the preachers who cherry-pick verses to preach to their flocks.

    3. Deny
    4. Lie

  13. If you were on your high school or university debate team, you
    might have become accustomed to your opponent following certain
    rules. Do not expect that against a creationist; many of
    them do not respect the idea of debating at all; they are trying to
    convert you, not debate with you.
    There are generally three types of creationist: the
    garden-variety scientifically ignorant religious fanatic, the
    religious moderate who has been swayed by religious propaganda, and
    (most rarely) the religious fanatic who has actually put serious
    effort into studying the issue. Of those, there is no point
    debating the first type; fanatics do not recognize the validity of
    science or logic at all, and an argument will probably devolve into
    him reciting the Bible and trying to convert you. The second is the
    easiest to debate; if you can show how the arguments he’s heard
    are logically flawed, there is a fair chance of actually changing
    his mind. The third type is the trickiest to debate because they
    are usually quite experienced, and they tend to have a large
    "bag of tricks" which they can use against you (expect
    philosophical attacks against the scientific method, heavy reliance
    upon the "complexity = design" fallacy, arguments copied
    from ICR and other creationist websites, and liberal use of
    specific names, dates, and places in order to lend more rhetorical
    credibility to their arguments).

  15. The best I’ve seen and read is Whitcomb and Morris: "The Genesis Flood"
    And even when I was a believing Christian I could see the gaping flaws in that.

  16. To be " Created " one has to have a copy of the first person ,because didn’t God say he made man in his ( GOD’S ) image then why are all of us different in appearance and talk in different languages.

  17. They don’t debate, they demand unreasonably without any research or substantiation. You are supposed to be impressed by an unqualified statement. ;)
