Where do you find the patience..
to debate persons who think such as Keys?
How do you debate someone who sees that the sky is blue, sees that the sky has always been blue, sees evidence for a blue sky dating back to the history of time, but believes that the sky was brown?
How do you debate someone whose only defense is that you cant "prove" that the sky wasnt brown at some point? I guess a better question is "why" debate someone who thinks such as this? Is there a success rate > 0 for such exercises?
Where do you find the patience to deal with someone who just proffers ridiculous statements without evidence and then DEMANDS that you provide the evidence that his statements are false, and then when you comply, dismisses said evidence because you cant prove that evidence existed to the beginning of time?

Re: Where do you find the patience..
Well, you are all far more patient men than I. After the 3rd or 4th "because the bible says so" I pretty much just walk away. A lot of these threads have definitely been informative and even inspired a great deal of reading on cosomology on my part. Thanks for that.
