The rules are like those for a prize sporting event: winner takes all. The evolutionist contestant puts $10,000 in escrow. This will be matched by a creation scientist for a total of $20,000. If the evolutionist proves evolution is science and creation is religion, he wins the $20,000. If the creation scientist proves that creation is science and evolution is religion, then the creationist collects the $20,000. The standards of evidence will be those of science: objectivity, validity, reliability and calibration. The preponderance of the evidence prevails.   We sincerely await your acceptance of the challenge. Our $10,000 is ready to be handed to the judge. Please contact Joseph Mastropaolo or Karl Priest and we shall begin working out details of the debate.   If the task is too threatening for individual evolutionists, Dr. Mastropaolo will entertain suggestions for terms that will bolster the courage of Darwinian dogmatists.
