It's the most ignorant thing I've ever read. Most of the time I try and see past their argument and understand where they're coming from (because I used to be there once) but this guy is dribbling on as if he's been living under a rock. It seriously pisses me off, that religion can take hold of the mind and deny it the right to be enlightened by the advancements of our species.
The most tragic thing isn't even to do with this alleged evolutionist he argued with. It's the fact that these creationists trot around with the outdated arguments without knowing it.
I gave him a small excerpt of a website that exposes this particular argument. It's already been refuted that you can't extend the 5 foot/yr shrinkage rate into the indefinite past -- there's no evidence to do such a thing. The website then goes on to highlight exactly what the problem with these idiots is:
"Scientific" creationism lives like the proverbial ostrich with its head buried in the sand; it has no effective mechanism to weed out error
They are living in the past.

None of that has any bearing on whether his model of evolution is right. As for the rest (the Earth would have been inside the Sun, etc), ask him to name the 'evolutionist' he allegedly debated. Because I will guarantee right now that either s/he was an invention of this guy built out of straw, or that said evolutionist was a total idiot. No wonder he calls bull.
