    There is no debate. There are the irrefutable, proven facts backed up by evidence, and the mentally ill who refuse to accept them.

      Might even be more important for theories to be refutable but unrefuted. Given the vast wealth and personnel resources available to parties interested in proving evolution wrong (or substitute for your choice of decided-except-in-fantasy-land issue and truth value), it’s notable that they have yet to do so. If the evidence or some consistent logic that doesn’t eventually lead back to a version of “God did it” were on their side, we’d know all about it.
