Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

[KevinM1]

And, for the nth time, science isn't a debate.  It's not how it works.  That you think that's the way to go merely highlights your utter ignorance, which is the source of your confusion.  And when I say that you need to learn how science works, and you need to work on your critical thinking skills, I'm not saying it to just be insulting.  I truly mean it.  Because no adult (presumably without a learning disability) should be so lacking in those areas.  You're ripe for exploitation by any shyster peddling woo for a dollar.

If it were that simple, then why would Dean Radin argue and debate against skeptics?  Is it because he is really stupid?  I don't think so.

Yes. Yes, he is. Just like WLC and Ken Ham, who also engage in debates.

It's spectacle to make people who want to believe think that their beliefs are on equal footing as actual reality. It lends an air of legitimacy to an idea that has none. It also plays into the psychological ideas of folksy/intuitive knowledge being superior to other forms. Religions use that particular tool to great effect, especially when it's paired with 'persecution'. It leads to people seeing and attaching themselves to false conspiracies. That the establishment doesn't want you to know about x. The modern Republican party runs on that kind of manipulation.

So, yes, you're a rube. Or a troll.
