One Science teacher present (christian) reported "Personally I found Prof. Rainer very evasive and to be honest I don't think it was an equal debate. You were definitely in possession of more facts while he came only from his biological test tube which was so lacking and not convincing. I find it difficult to believe that he is the "expert" in evolution at Auckland Uni which one uni student attending seemed to think he was. He evaded completely the question of evidence of missing links with the nonchalant, "read the information for yourself" it's all there. I did feel a little sympathy for him when he couldn't recall the name of the ape/human link Australopithecus.

I was taken back by the audacity of his statement that evolution is considered "fact" and was tempted to ask the question why the Natural History Museum in Kensington in its Hall on the Origin of life clearly

states: The Theory of Evolution and The Theory of Creation.

Several non Christians who came with us (both doctors) were also disappointed with the weakness of Prof Rainey's argument. I had some of my students in tow. They loved it by the way and I had a great opportunity to explain the gospel on the way home. It was a tremendous turn out well done John."
