Pete--To follow Ebbie's remark, but with a different twist--

"debate by the likes of dawkins against a qualified creationist scientist.."

I'm sure you find it hard to accept this, but being a "creationist scientist" means he is wearing 2 hats at once. In so far as he-- or anyone- is being a creationist, he is not acting as a scientist- no matter what his scientific credentials. Science and creationism simply use two different standards to defend their claims. Creationism assumes from the beginning that religious claims are correct, and merely look for evidence to 'support' them. Science (done properly) make no assumptions and goes where purely scientific data takes it.
