Dr. Walt Brown has a clear vision of how he would like to engage evolutionists in debate.  Since 1980 he has had a standing offer to conduct a written debate that could be publishable by either side.  He has even offered a $200 finders fee to university students who can find a professor willing to debate him.  For various reasons there have been no takers.

Some claim they have no time.  Yet they should be willing to defend what they teach, particularly if they are receiving public money to do it.

Some feel unqualified, yet Dr. Brown is willing to debate an entire team of evolutionists.

Some decline to give a creationist a forum.  This is very unscientific not to be willing to freely exchange ideas and have open discussions.

Some object to debating against creationism since it is a religious concept.  Still, there is much scientific evidence supporting it, and evolution also has a religious aspect.  Dr. Brown proposes that an umpire be used to remove references that are not scientific from the published debate.

And still others would require that the debate be refereed in science journals.  But those journals are extremely biased in favor of evolution and an old earth as evidenced by the sorts of articles they publish.  The editors would also be subject to harsh criticism from others in the evolutionist community not to mention the risk of losing advertisers.

Furthermore, Dr. Brown encourages us all to become familiar with the problem, to learn more and to share this with friends.  But don't stop there, talk to educators and administrators and encourage them to add what Dr. Brown calls an Origins Research Project to their curriculum.  Details of this can be seen on his web site.

Challenge evolutionists.  Ask why they will not debate the scientific evidence.

Expose theistic evolution.  Raise the issues with your church leaders and explain that the biblical account is supported by scientific evidence.  Also point out the theological problems that go along with this compromise.  And finally ask church leaders to bring in outside speakers and to add books to the church library that address this issue fairly.

Encourage the media when they do give fair coverage of this issue.  Likewise, politely reason with them when offering criticisms of coverage that does not challenge assumptions or which ignores evidence.

Dr. Brown would also remind us that we are engaged against an idea, not individuals.  Prayer is always in season.  Consider this from 1 Peter:3:15   "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"  Why not visit Dr. Brown's web site?
