However, I don't argue with them in the hope of coverting them. I argue for the sake of the others who read the file: those who don't know the distinction between science and creationism, and those who don't happen to know specific rebuttals of particular creationist fallacies of argument. It's important to help both those groups for at least two reasons: to keep them out of the creationist camp, and to enable them to effectively oppose creationist activism.
