pete. What in pete's sake is an equally qualified creationist ?

The reason Prof Dawkins doesn't debate with one is that one hasn't evolved sufficiently yet. So he has to make do with people steeped in theology, Archbishops of Canterbury etc.

If you want someone equally qualified as a creationist for a debate, may I suggest my mate. He reckons the moon landings didn't happen and that Princess Di was killed off. He'd be able to debate at the right level.

In the meantime, I haven't seem my pet greyhound for two weeks and am looking forward to chewing the fat with him on Saturday night over wine / water and supper / gravy bones.
