Requesting help from scientists/astronomers on the forum.

Thanks for your help, everyone, but it seems the jerk just disappeared once it became apparent I had him cornered on the debate. I'll take that as a win.

I wouldn't do that.

This idiot got you to take your time to do research in order to answer him. You took him seriously enough to put forth this effort. That's a win for him.

The only way to score a win against idiots like this is to ignore them. Don't acknowledge them at all. If I call you "poopey face" and make derogatory comments about your family, are you really going to take me seriously? Your most devastating response would be to fail to acknowledge that I even exist.

That's the way to deal with irrational people. It's fine to engage theists in general because the theist vs. atheist argument is a valid discussion. But don't argue established facts with fools. Evolution is a done deal. A spherical earth is a done deal. Arguing with idiots who dispute this gives them validation they do not deserve.
