You run into the same thing when people want to discuss alternate hypothesis to the theory of evolution. As it stands now, evolution has a mountain of evidence pointing toward it being true. If you want to act like you have a legitimate alternative theory, then you need to have good contradictory evidence (not that there isn't any, it's just a requirement) or you're wasting everyone's time.
