I know that debating some creationists seems to give credibility to their arguements.
However, not debating them leaves them as unnopposed lecturers.
So the answer is to increase efforts to educate, especially among youngsters. Don't debate, lecture like they do without them in the room to blind the audience with bullshit.
The problem is, it's hard to make the facts entertaining enough to hold most kids' interest when creationists like Ken Ham or Dr Dino are free to just make stuff up. Go check out some of the videos on YouTube of Ken Ham doing his song and dance in front of gullible grade-schoolers. It's horrifying.
Your beliefs do not effect reality and evidently reality does not effect your beliefs.

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
