It's a little deeper than "you're an idiot", "no, you're an idiot". Again this is lazy, false equivalence. If you feel both sides are exactly the same, on equal footing, explain the reasoning. If you are unwilling to do so, if you are unwilling to defend your reasoning, if in fact you're metaphorically plugging your fingers in your ears in response to arguments that are out there, and STILL holding onto your false equivalence, there is an issue. The issue isn't with people trying to explain to you why evolution holds water and creationism doesn't. The issue is with you. That when you misuse the word theory, and someone explains to you what it really means - that's a BASIC fact that anyone can look up - and your only recourse is to state "cool story, bro".
There's an intellectual cowardice around that.
We have two competing explanations for the same facts and just because YOU'RE unwilling to actually explore which is more likely to be true, doesn't mean they are both the same.
Essentially,
It's JUST like saying that flat earth and round earth have equal footing.
The bible literalist Dr. Parallax refused to listen to the evidence. I have as little respect for the person that says "pfft, flat earth? Round earth? They're both the same!" as the person that insists its flat, both positions are showing willful ignorance and an unwillingness to examine the evidence. It's lazy.
When scientists can point to human chromosome 2, and show that its fused from 2 ape chromosomes, explain how that doesn't hold water for you.
When something as precisely understood as Einstein's theory of relativity and the work of astronomy over the last 100 years help explain the age of the universe, explain how that doesn't hold water for you.
That isn't me saying "you're an idiot". That's me pointing out evidence, and asking you to explain how it doesn't hold water. Go for it.
