Your comment itself highlights the problem on this site and in the world. The arrogance of people still astounds me. I don't believe the earth is flat and I don't believe that everything written in the bible is absolutely true but I am open to the possibility and I'm not arrogant enough to laugh at people or be rude to those who believe things I do not and to dismiss it because I 'know better'. (I used to be about 10-15 years ago). Being open minded, even to ideas that you find repulsive or ridiculous is essential if there is to be progress.

You can flag who you like but your flags come from a confidence that is unfounded and a refusal to consider other possibilities.

"By engaging them we have elevated the status of your stupid opinions to the level of being worth discussion".

How breathtakingly arrogant and self assured.

Using excuses like "They aren't worthy of debate" is weak. It's like the people who not only refuse to debate the Holocaust, but shut down those that do and introduce laws to prevent debate. The truth needs no laws to protect it and if you feel there is no point in debating particular topics that is fine but to make judgments and proclamations that you are right and everyone else is wrong about whatever topic you think you have the moral/intellectual high ground is ridiculous and makes you look like a fool (just like you think that anyone who considers that there might be a creator or questions the assertion that everything we see in the world arose from a single celled organism that appeared out of nowhere and randomly mutated is a fool).
