What's the best strategy for defending evolution?

Personally, my opinion on how best to defend evolution is to ignore the creation/ID side. The more we accept talk about it, the more we acknowledge that they are somehow scientifically valid, or at least that is how it would seem to non-scientifically oriented people. If there is one thing I have learned over the years is that the creationist can be very clever. Sinon must have been a creationist.
