How do you construct a reasoned, evidence backed counter-argument to an absurd, evidence-free belief?

One answer is that you fight stupid with stupid. See for example, Ali G winning an argument with a creationist by asking him, "OK, has you ever eaten a banana?"

But, on HN, ignore and downvote. Stupid isn't welcome.
