The information you seek can be found in any public library or by using any decent search engine. You can easily access the information (3-5 minutes), if you really want to learn the facts. I don't know if it will matter, you seem to have your mind made-up.

This is not a valid debate tactic.
"You go look it up, you idiot" doesn't do any good. Why don't you take 3 minutes to find some verifiable information and prove him wrong?

I didn't call him an idiot. I simply responded that the "proof" he wanted was easily accessible. But, there is really no point, because he believes what he wants to believe. Nothing I could offer him would change that. I only pointed out the obvious, so that others reading the posting wouldn't think his argument had merit, when it has already long since been discredited.
Finally, I only debate with people who are open-minded, searching for the truth, and willing to accept the truth based on the value of the preponderance of the evidence; even at the expense of their existing beliefs.
Religious and political zealots do not fit my criteria.
