Well, today, as of the hour 21:15 (GMT+1), I have sent an e-mail to the author of a moronic creationist website, which will hopefully lure him into a debate. Wish me luck, and I'll keep you informed if he sends any reply
The e-mail concerned his distorted views of atheism presented in the collection of his "articles" on atheism and atheists.
He has a lot of lies on his site. First, tell him that whenever you have the Bible as the untimate law, and execute anyone who defies it, you get a police state, and no scientific advancement, like back in the Dark Ages.
Then, debunk his "Exposing the Athiest" essays, saying that there is no link between Atheism and violent crime, Atheists have lower divorce rates than Christian, and how Atheists aren't the ones who killed millions in the name of their faith.

Good luck. He claims that he is always right and he has no reason to debate people who refuse to see reality.
According to him Atheists, Agnostics, and non Christians believe reality does NOT exist. He has decided that he doesn't need to try and prove reality to people who refuse to see the obvious.

"The captain claimed our people violated a 4,000 year old treaty forbidding us to develop hyperspace technology. Extermination of our planet was the consequence. The subject did not survive interrogation."
In the debate, expect him to have a strong wall of ignorance, and little cooperation. If he feels threatened, he'll just delete your messages. After all, he doesn't want logic interfering with his .
This guys IWoI is at least 3 RSA. Are you really sure you want to waste time on him, or do you actually enjoy banging your head against a wall of ignorance?

Might want to change that to trying to pound a rock with a sledge hammer. Might be pointless without a lot of time and effort, but a few quick swings feel just fine because your bashing something hard with a hammer.

I doubt that you will get much out of a debate with him except for an gigantic wall of ignorance, but I still wish you the best of luck.
Go kick him where it hurts....

That would be impossible, as he doesn't have any...

Even hard core fundies has one or two spots that you can hurt. You know that you have found them when their wall of ignorance suddenly gets 20 floors higher and they "refuse" to debate you anymore since they "KNOW" that they are correct in their belief and you are just a silly misunderstood brat...

You said to kick them where it hurts... I assumed you were saying that in the physical sense. And I reiterate: he does not have any.[size=0]balls[/size]

It's good to know that you wish me the best of luck. I tried my best to pick up and identify every one of his logical fallacies...as a matter of fact, the more recent his srticles were, the more fallacies they contained. In the end, his writing degenerated into one giant fallacy...
Still haven't heard of him, but it's only been nine hours or so.
Gotta go to class now. I'll be back home at the evening...we'll see if it develops into anything else then.
If he won't debate with a "heathen", then say you're not one. But, of course, onle he and the other 5 people he knows aren't heathens.
Perhaps if he gots a lot of challenges for debate, maybe he'll have no choice but to accept one of the challenges, and one lucky person will attempt to break his wall of ignorance.
