Since Java, C#, Ruby, Smalltalk, and other languages have strings as objects in the language itself, doesn't representing an email address as a string infringe on the patent?
Intelligent Design people are all for the Show. It doesn't matter if they win or lose a debate. Their goal is simply to debate it to create free advertisement across the country. Since most people aren't able to think on their own, they will believe the guy who attacks the most and who seems to make more sense.
Since the Evolution people are put on the defensive, they don't attack. ID people then try to appeal to the population by saying things like : "Galileo's ideas weren't accepted at first" and that we are "close-minded".
Anyone who thinks about it for a second will know that Galileo had proof that the Church decided to disregard whereas the ID people have no proof at all. We also agree to debate, but somehow, that makes us close-minded.
Those are all stunts designed to make simple people believe in ID. Can't you see they are playing the victim and that this tactic wins them the heart of most of the population?
Debating will make us loose the fight. Here's what we should do: whenever we are in front of a creationist in public, we should say only one thing. "Show me the proof you have." That's it. Stick with it. Never say anything about evolution. It's all for show and we can use the same techniques. Attack, attack, attack, and never defend your point of view.
If you are in private and no cameras are looking at you, then please debate. There is no show, as the common people are not watching.
I can't help but see a similarity in their "debating" techniques with those used by the Republicans. They attack and lie, but they make sense to people who can't think, and they play the victims.

Let's play the game with the same rules.
