Long term advice when debating theists.

RE: Long term advice when debating theists.
"Debunk science with science" another way of putting it would be "cherry picking", "burning the candle at both ends", "moving the goal posts", "having it both ways", basically hypocrisy.

They accept science when they think it works to prop up their own claims, and reject it when it doesn't. Trying to use it and deny it when you call them out on it, is what I am talking about.

The idiot apologists who use the 2nd law argument are using it to lead you to their god. You debunk that then they hypocritically reject your argument. They don't want truth, they want an excuse to believe.

It is the same as when a theists claims they accept evolution, but cry like babies when you tell them evolution does not prop up any god claim. Easy way to demonstrate that is to ask them if they would buy Allah as the one true god if a Muslim said they accepted evolution but "Allah did it".

I have literally had a Jew quote her holy books claiming they match science. I have had Muslims quote the Koran to claim it matches science. And certainly many more Christians do the same over the years. It still amounts to cherry picking.
