As interesting as it may be to hear both sides, the points are the same every time and as long as creationists keep their mindset the conversation won't move on. I'm all for people with different believes talking and discussing their views, it's democratic and a good thing; however I just can't stand how boring and stale this discussion is.
To be fair, it's not like the evolutionists are willing to change their mindset, either.
Both sides have a failsafe against any possible argument or evidence, be it "it was created that way" or "there must be a scientific explanation, even if we haven't found it yet".
The purpose of these debates, in their many incarnations, is not to sway the other side. That's impossible. It's to sway the undecided members of the audience, or strengthen them in the beliefs they already hold but don't know how to defend.
