Right at the top of his page, we're reminded of what really matters. Quantity:

"1933 - 2013 : Over 561,000,000 Tracts Shipped in 112 Languages"
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould

This reminds me of around a year or so before when I became an atheist, when I was still trying to make sense of the Christian worldview, a friend of a friend approached me with 2 flyers and asked to talk to me. One of the flyers was about "How we know the Bible is true" and the other was "How we know God exists". I thought, hot damn, this is exactly what I need to hear! So I sat down and we talked. The Bible flyer was basically "We know the Bible is true because in the Bible it says so" restated in 10 different ways. The God flyer was basically "We know God exists because He said so", once again, restated in 10 different ways. I can only imagine the look of disappointment that must have been on my face.

Ultimately, this person did me a service though, in showing me the insanity of this point of view. I never got the chance to thank him.

He can't? Well shit, looks like I'm converting back to Christianity.

Goddamn, they're out in droves today. I just got "invited" to an "event" at a local theater by some JW's going door to door.

The weird thing was that if I had to judge by their mannerisms, and I didn't know that they were trying to save my eternal soul, I would have thought for sure that they were trying to get into my pants.

Like you said, it would really only appeal to somebody that is already a believer. Making an appeal to authority be the sole means of conveying an argument is worthless when the opposing side doesn't consider the authority legitimate in the first place.
