I think it is about as useful sometimes as attempting to urinate up a rope into the wind when its cold outside.  Trying to explain concepts like evolution and abiogenesis to people who are religiously addled is an exercise in frustration.

It is like this, you offer your arguments and conclusions, fact based of course, and all they have in rely is goddidit or He works in mysterious ways and *poof* for them it is the “I WIN” button.  If you call them on their feckless handwaving then they attempt to disengage with such disingenuous statements as this:

“it’s written to go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge”

Seriously?

Bullcoookery does not get any swarmy than this little gem.  It is no wonder the dark ages was dominated by the religious because it is obvious they could not and still cannot reason their way out of frakking wet paper bag.
