Stupid Creationist!

I was hanging out with some friends, and a friend of a friend of a friend who is apparently a creationist was claiming that we should not listen to science because everything science claims now they will disagree with in 50 years, and that science used to claim that the world was flat. When I attempted to point out the error and mention that the scientific method was used in Greek times to show that the world was round and approximate it's circumference he shouted over the top of me that "You just got on to me for making a generalization and now you are making a generalization". Every time I tried to explain what I was actually saying or later excuse myself was met with him cutting me off and shouting over the top of me.

I was about to the point where I was going to inflict physical harm on him (I am overly sensitive about anything that I persieve (spelling?) as censorship do to the continuous trauma inflicted on me in elementary school (Related to a speech impediment I had and resulted in me trying to kill myself in second grade on multiple ocassions). Fortunately the person I have previous refereed to as Mr. Nice rescued me (he knows of my sensitivity to this).

I find the people I debate on youtube to be more sensible and courteous than the guy I argued with. Sure they might insult you, but at least you get to finish your sentence.
