A standing offer exists for a written debate between Walt Brown and an
evolutionist, the debate to be published later. In over fifteen years, no
evolutionist has accepted this offer.

Response:
Several aspects of Brown's twenty-two requirements may make his debate
unattractive. The editor for the debate (who must be qualified,
willing, and impartial) would be very difficult to find. Brown
requires that his challenger must have a PhD, for no good reason. He
stipulates that he will not allow theology into the debate, despite the
fact that creationism is nothing but theology and that Brown himself
uses theology as the basis for his conclusions.
People have attempted to debate Walt Brown, but Brown refuses.
Joe Meert signed Brown's contract in 1996. He proposed (in
accordance with the contract terms) that evidence regarding a global
flood be a topic for discussion within the debate. Brown has
steadfastly refused to debate Meert (Meert 2003).
Brown himself refuses to debate in the proper
venue for
deciding scientific questions: scientific conferences and
peer-reviewed literature.
