"You argue with him, you argue with full strength, undiluted creationism. "

So bloody what? That IS the issue! If he were just sort of vaguely unsure, we'd probably have won him over by now.

It is not **relevant** to turn the entire discussion to calling him insulting names and implying his beliefs 'insult' YOU.
If you cannot refrain from remarks like "wilfully blind stubborness", you don't do yourself any favors.
