If you are looking at really changing the viewpoint of a fundamantalist/creationist -- good luck. If you are looking for true insight into something or to truly learn something that you didn't know before then that's a hard thing to do. To make real gains in anything at some point you have to go out of your comfort zone and when that happens you may stumble and trip more than once, but the next time you may make some real gain. Success in anything usually doesn't come at the first try. I’m not sure what your goal is by looking for some interesting debate.

The <a href="http://unreligiousright.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Unreligious Right</a> is a conservative atheist, and while I don't agree with his political views, he debates honestly and with an informed mind. Or the SMRT board</a>? You can get some really great disagreements going there without people resorting to anonymous trolling. And Makarios? He fully admitted to being a sociopath once.
