We did have one guy here a while back that would go in-depth into the pseudo-scientific findings that creationists love to use, and it's definitely entertaining to watch at first. Creationists' refusal to acknowledge the amount of mental gymnastics they have to do to try and support their ideas, however, turns the whole thing sour eventually, and the discussion becomes mind-numbingly frustrating.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
