In August 1979, [[Henry Morris|Dr. Henry Morris]] reported in an [[Institute for Creation Research]] letter: “By now, practically every leading evolutionary scientist in this country has declined one or more invitations to a scientific debate on creation/evolution.”<ref>[https://www.icr.org/article/811/ Reason or Rhetoric] by [[Henry Morris]], PhD</ref>

Morris also said regarding the creation scientist [[Duane Gish]] (who had over 300 formal debates): “At least in our judgment and that of most in the audiences, he always wins.”<ref>[http://www.ankerberg.com/Articles/science/SC1200W1.htm Voices for evolution - John Ankerberg website]</ref>

[[Intelligent design]] proponent [[Phillip E. Johnson]] debated the evolutionary paleontologist and [[agnosticism|agnostic]] [[Stephen Gould]] at [[Harvard University]] before a select audience of elite American intellectuals in a closed door event not open to the public. The debate was considered a draw. At the end of the debate, Johnson hugged Gould and he noticed in the embrace that Gould was nervously shaking.<ref>[https://idthefuture.com/1554/Stephen Meyer on Phillip Johnson’s Courage], ID the Future website, the account of the debate begins at the 4 minute 45 second portion of the audio recording</ref> Both [[theism|theists]] and atheists frequently accuse agnostics of being [[coward]]ly, due to their wishy-washy rejection of God.<ref>Studs Terkel, a self-described agnostic, jokingly referred to the frequent charge of agnostics being called cowardly, "You happen to be talking to an agnostic. You know what an agnostic is? A cowardly atheist".[https://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2003/12/19/december-19-2003-interview-studs-terkel/11022/]</ref> [[Studs Terkel]], a self-described agnostic, jokingly referred to the frequent charge of agnostics being called cowardly, "You happen to be talking to an agnostic.

Generally speaking, [[Atheism and Debate|leading evolutionists no longer debate creation scientists]] because creation scientists tend to win the debates.<ref>https://www.icr.org/article/811/</ref> In addition, the [[atheism|atheist]] and evolutionist [[Richard Dawkins]] has shown inconsistent and deceptive behavior [[Richard Dawkins' public refusal to debate creationists|concerning his refusal creation scientists]].
