There's a simple technique that you can employ to avoid wasting time by arguing evolution with a creationist. Simply ask, "is there any amount of evidence that could convince you to change your mind?"
If they say "no", then move on to another topic.

- yan 17y agoI came here to mention this, and note that this is an excellent way to start conversations about anything controversial, including politics and religion. If I'm interested in having that argument, I usually start by saying: "One of us is clearly wrong, and there is a chance that it's me and a chance that it's you. I can give you a list of events that can happen or points that you can prove that will cause me to change my mind entirely and agree with you. What's your list?"
