Greg Billock posed the questions:

Any reflections? Impressions? <<

to which Cliff Lundberg and James Hofmann responded.

I did not see the debate because there was a blackout in our area. I too
would like to pose a related question:

Suppose I were able to get a tape of the debate and were to show it to a
well educated audience consisting of Christians who are largely uninformed
about the issues, and the players in the debate. Would they benefit from
the experience? If so, how? I should add that I am not particularly
concerned with the issue of winning and losing, but would be concerned
with whether it would be educational and edifying to Christians who might
not be opposed to evolution.
