We seem to regularly get one or two of these types, who regurgitate some old and easily-debunked ideas, then spend then next 50-100 pages digging in their heels and occasionally flinging a bit of poo that they found on "the googles" and defending it all the way down to a nub. They're good for little more than target practice at that point.
"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."
