I actually really like listening to things that counter my own world view, you usually learn a good amount. Either new factual information or another example of one of the extreme ends of human condition and how it affects another individuals worldview. IE' "why TF do they think that way?" Unplugem has lost my interest pretty quick though in the way he glosses over responses and tries the "baffle em with bs" approach providing valid argument.

Yes, this is my thoughts too. Probably a young earth creationist. But I was more referring to your Princess Bride quote; I don’t think he understands the law or what it is observing. He is taking a superficial literalist interpretation of the law (no surprise there given his theological beliefs), which is why he is messing this up.
I too like to hear from the other side. I watch debates, listen to conservative media (at the annoyance of my wife sometimes), etc, so I can understand both perspectives and come to my own conclusions. It is helpful in arguing a point if you fully understand the opposition and can explain things from their perspective.
You hit the nail on the head that he is just glossing over explanations and not acknowledging when he is wrong, which is disingenuous. He just ignores it and moves on, but then comes back to his old statements that have been addressed and shown to be wrong. It is all very circular with no ending, which is also losing my interest, except that it is hard for me to let people say these things and not be called out on the BS.
