The best way to handle supernaturalists is to simple ignore them.
You won't convince them of anything, and will merely provoke them into filling a science based thread
with quotes from which ever man written book of myths they happen to follow.
IOW don't argue with the ants.

Yes, in most cases that's wise. But sometimes they become pesky, as when they want to wuck up the school system; and then it's valuable to understand their ways. Also, in websites like this one, where so many thousands are lurking and getting their impressions of conservatism, it's important to show that there is indeed rationality on the right. However, I quite agree that no one ever changes the mind of a creationist. But these debates aren't really for that purpose.
