We're actually very good at it, but we insist on doing it wrong a lot. You're not going to rationally logically reason someone out of a position they got into via completely irrational illogical unreasoning belief. Now you might replace their irrational illogical unreasoning belief with another like faith healing or anything an actor in a tv commercial wearing a doctors white coat says is true. As an analogy, in the history of mankind I don't think any Christian Creationist has ever been converted to evolution by throwing scientific journal papers at him. You'd have better luck setting him on fire or being torn apart by lions in a Colosseum and even that mostly doesn't work. But Christian Creationists DO convert to other religions every day, all the time, plenty of currently Buddhists or Hindus or Pagans or Satanists or whatever.
