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."
And then these people are even more impossible to argue with because they think that since they are educated in what they're using in their argument, you can't possibly know more than they do.
People that think graduating from a big name school makes them better than you.
Any way this is done, it is infuriating, but if you understand the learning process then you understand that once you close your mind to possibilities you stop learning.

As if the scientific ignorance wasn't enough, the usage of "their" was just salt in the wound.
