Nope.
If you and I and a few others want to debate which computer is best, or
which political model works best or many other such things then we can.
There is a strong possibility that someone's premise will actually convince
the others that they were wrong.
But when it comes to faith you're on a loosing wicket. (Much like the
Aussies today!) If someone is prepared to believe the superstitious
mumbjo-jumbo and deluded hogwash of deities, intelligent beings etc. and
this person bases their way of life on ancient writings about such stuff,
then the only way you will get them to agree with say, evolution, is for
them to reject the very tenet their life revolves around. They have to
reject the religious beliefs and that isn't going to happen.
So arguing with them is futile. In the end, as they have unquestioning
faith, the ultimate answer is "because my deity made it so and I have
unquestioning faith in my beliefs".
You cannot reason with unreasoning faith.
As Yoda would say: "futile it is!"
