Here's a commentary on climate change discussions, but seems like it might have application to other arguments like the never-ending evolution discussions.

"Don't ignore climate skeptics - talk to them differently

More scientific data won't convince doubters of climate change. But reframing the debate as one about values could make a difference.

The American debate over climate change turns on two main themes. One is the science of the problem; the other is government measures to fix it. Many believe these themes cover the entire debate. They're wrong." <snip>
