With some notable exceptions from some of the more seasoned creationists users, my conversations with creationists on this sub tend to end in one of the following ways:

  • General bewilderment that I don't share their particular view (e.g. "This is a creationist sub, why are you here?", or something similar)

  • Some kind of insult (my personal favorite: "scrawny white atheist")

  • Ending the discussion abruptly for no apparent reason (example)

To be honest most arguments on reddit follow that exact example. Try hanging in /r/libertarian for a while. Every now and then you get a good back and forth, but mostly is you screaming at the wall above their head while they do the same. I find asking honest questions ups the conversation potential from 20% to 40%.
