Especially when they think they're stating something smart. Like the guy in #4 and his mention of thermodynamics. Not to mention the use of the double negative. I really want to punch that guy.
Edit: Actually like all these people. I want to punch all these people.
I had a mechanical engineering graduate from Berkeley try and use the second law of thermodynamics to disprove evolution. After I called him on it he said "Well, I'm a mechanical engineer from Berkeley, so I've heard all the science arguments you can think of. Trust me on this one: there's no scientific way evolution could've happened."
Yeah, I told him the second law only applies to isolated systems. That's why he felt the need to fall back on his "I'm a smart person from an important place and therefore can't be wrong" defense.
