I think my debate with mystical knight and your exchange with your brother are going to be quite similar.
I don't think sending him info will change things.
If he's a genious i can only assume he knows how to access information online possibly better than me and a lot of other people here who know about evolution.
But I'm curious, what did he say about dinosaurs, the HIV virus, the fact that if every extinct animal existed with every living species all at the same time it would be a bit crowded on earth. Were there any nuances to the conversation?
There was not really any nuance. He said he believed that "adaptation" had occurred, as if that carried any weight. He's simply ignorant on this topic. I'm done worrying about it. He's a moron in this domain.
That generally the way with creationists they will accept bits and pieces that they can't refute but then move the goalpost or will stop the evidence from leading to it's logical conclusion or they will create an" alternative explanation" for the evidence (crap that allows them to deny the evidences rational conclusion). It's really futile to debate a creationist and in the end you'll earn nothing but fried nerves and high blood pressure.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
