Some may say that Twitter isn’t the best forum for debating complex scientific ideas. But former Red Sox star Curt Schilling is not that kind of guy.

The three-time world champion pitcher spent hours Wednesday night tediously arguing with Twitter detractors over whether evolution — the foundation for most modern biology — is real.

Masochistic readers can check out the (amazingly still on-going) battle over at Schilling’s Twitter timeline, but here are some of the crazier exchanges:

@CharlieRDaley Show me ONE fossil, ANWHERE in the world that is a "miss", a creature in between two creatures as it evolved? Doesn't exist. — Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) November 13, 2014

@gehrig38 @TadKosciuszko @Phylan This ends w/ "As long as we are not allowed to know our true history, the Secret Societies are in control." — Rich Bradley (@rlbradley) November 12, 2014

@rlbradley To bad it's been disproved about a thousand times. Every experiment to prove it has failed. — Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) November 12, 2014

@MauryCompson @rlbradley It isn't. We didn't evolve from another creature, never happened and no one earth can prove that it did — Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) November 12, 2014

@fknIrked @IRaiseUFacts @CharlieRDaley Hey clown, why don't apes still evolve into humans if that was the path? Why doesn't ANY.. — Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) November 13, 2014

@fknIrked @IRaiseUFacts @CharlieRDaley creature evolve into another creature entirely, if we all came from one organism? — Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) November 13, 2014
