"It's possible to get through to these people if you're willing to argue in terms they understand"
No, because they would lose their feeling of superiority. On what kind of basis do you want to discuss with them? If you present a fact they will just say: "We don't believe this!"
If you present scientific evidence they will say: "We don't accept this! This is not proof! We want proof".
"Proof" is something that is not not inherent in the scientific method, requiring it shows a total lack of understanding of science.
