There is no credible debate ABOUT evolution - there is debate WITHIN evolution, if that makes any sense. Maybe that is what you are saying.
I think the biggest thing people don't realize about evolution is that there are literally several mechanisms at work. Natural selection is but one... a major one, but not all of evolutionary science is explained by natural selection. People find one example of something that isn't explained by natural selection, and they assume evolution theory fails.
