Me: "You might find it instructive to read a text on the subject -- not a rant written by some ignorant gadfly, but a book written by a biologist for the purpose of introducing the topic to the public. There are hundreds that will do the job. Then at least you'll understand that evolution is a well-grounded biological phenomenon, not a cult of mystics."
You: That Was written by a prominant evolutionist. Go check.
I assume that you don't intend to become informed on the subject. You may well understand, therefore, how much attention people will pay to your opinions.
Rule one: Find out what your position is. And find out what it says.
Rule two: To be truly scientific, admit what you don't know. Consider all evidence.
Rule three: Deny everything that goes against the accepted thoery.
