This is why I said you have to lob the ball into their court: If you really want to argue, find out why they think there is so much bogus and evil evidence: Who is missleading the world's scientists? Whatever their reasoning, it is easy to point out that their private conclusion that the genetic, evolutionary, geological and astrophysical evidence is contrived; is based upon their personal theory about the nature of god.
Professor Mayhem is correct: If they will not make this concession, and only pontificate when you ask them to rationalize their belief structure; there is no point in further argument. But I suspect many of us have similar experiences to those of jamesabrown - way to go!
