Why even try. The "science" (or lack there of) quoted by O'l Sparky I find truly appalling. There are a huge number of really good resources on the web that explain in great detail every fallacy he has stated. All he need is to do a google search and read.

I'm certainly not trying to persuade O'l Sparky. As you know, when we encounter such an intellectual brick wall, we are really putting up our side of things for the lurkers.

But there's more at stake here. Observe this comment of his, at post 74: "Why do you continue to promote and blindly believe this fairy tale[evolution] while claiming to be a Christian?" It's stuff like that which gives Christianity (and conservatism) a bad name, and it's why these debates are so essential on FreeRepublic.
