Except that one of us walks the other through the established science while the other goes 'quick! over there!' and points to yet another long-discredited idea that 20 seconds googling could've sorted them out on.

Pooley, I do take your point mate, but if somebody says 'I don't think evolution really happened' I'll walk them through it. If they keep coming back with the same points, or tired, disproven twaddle from nutter Christians I'm going to treat their poor thinking as deliberate and subject it to the disdain it deserves.

This is not like arguing about moral issues where there's a need to maintain respect of position, but about continual denial of things that are verifiable and indeed the ability to reason clearly itself. If that doesn't merit belittling (alongside solid factual refutation), i don't know what does.
