I don't even think that there's a recognition that there is a debate. For many, as Dr. Krauthammer taps his medical degree and invariably tries to end the discussion. Many think there's an immediately reconcilable edition of Darwinism that will cater to those who don't wish their religious ideals to obfuscate their arguments; sort of a Rawlsian relapse into arguments about private reason vs. public reason. Because Darwinism is so poorly understood, it winds up misrepresented in such a way that even Wilson feels it's being sold short.
