It's not up for debate. The alternative forms of education.

In several defenses against the use of debate I have heard the claim that there are alternative forms of learning that debate doesn't solve. This is true. However, which is moore suitable to which topic. Is debate useful for discussions on evolution? Is lectures and testing approrpriate for philosophy? Which is best suited and is this more an argument against the weak points of ones own philosophy?

Multiple subject have been solidified to the point that they are indeed not up for debate. Mathematics is an easy and observable truth which shouldn't be debated because 2 + 2 will never equal 5. Biology has it's own undeniable truths. But in the futile attempt to get your own beliefs recognized some people attempt to say it is up for debate. This is where ideas rise or fall.
