I don't see how a person can dismiss that much evidence and still discuss the matter rationally. You are dealing with a person who is willing to put reality aside to make his case, and therefore he can continue to argue the point indefinitely. You cannot convince him because he has rejected all available evidence, and he cannot convince you because you are not certifiably insane.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
