He completely refused to accept the idea that photosynthesis was driven by "solar energy."
There's just no reasoning with some people. That particular discussion ended with him yelling at me, "You're a fool! You're a fool!" while we cleared the dishes from the table.

My arguments usually end when the other side has to start calling on insane amounts of "appearance of age" to keep their house of cards, built on a table of cardboard, which itself is balanced on a giant yoga ball, on the newly polished tile floor. As you can tell, that particular line of defense is a big bugaboo of mine since it effectively ends all debate because of its logical dead-end.
On another site, when the subject of nova was brought up (by me), I asked the logical question "Would God create a star which exploded literally the second or even a few days after he created it? Would He create the actual explosion, like creating a dynamite blast without there ever actually having been a stick of dynamite?" -to which the response to my statement was "Isn't God awesome?!!"
Nuff said.
