Who is the most ridiculous of the "Creation scientists"?

Kent Hovind.
If there had been room, I would have included Jerry Farewell, since he is Chancellor of "Liberty University," which requires each student to take one semester of "Creation biology." |

What, no Ham? No Gish? No Johnson or Wells or Dembski? Morris? ReMine?
This could be a long list. The problem is that every creationist is a loopy little ding-dong. |

Mr. "Dr." Carl Baugh.
His theories are so nutty, even creationists reject them. Yet his following is big enough that he has recently built a Noah's Ark-shaped museum in Glen Rose, TX. And he's not afraid to let physics stand in the way of a "good" theory. Twice in the past three months, I have heard him say on his show (Yes, he has his own show!) that before the Flood, the Earth was smaller and thus more dense, therefore the Earth's gravity was greater ( a necessary criteria to hold his vapor canopy theory in place). If that moron understood the flaw in what he just said, he'd have to come up with another theory. Dr.? He doesn't even demonstrate a basic high school education. Hovind has appeard on Baugh's show a few times. Those two make a fine pair, don't you think? |

I voted for Hovind, mainly because the general populace (which includes dumbass legislators in Arkansas) actually thinks the sonofabitch is an authority.
Jack Chick would be a good one to add, IMNSHO KC |

Eternal > Hovind.
Also Rom831 from RaptureReady, who believes in literal 'storehouses of snow' (Job) instead of clouds and meteorology. |

It is not fault of the editor that some people thousands of years later took the results literally. (And of course it was not Moses as anyone who actually reads the first five books of the Old Testiment can tell you.) |

I would like to nominate Behe as an honorary ridiculous creationist. He may not agree with them completely, but he doesn't mind sitting on their side of the debate table.
