The Darwin Creationist Award 2013 - Nominations

Announcing the coveted Darwin Creationist Award 2013!

Stand by for another summer of glorious moronitude as creationists struggle to put a coherent thought into words or wrestle with the intricacies of basic science, logic and joined-up thinking, as they try to convince the world that their ignorant stupidity and Bronze-Age superstition trumps anything which science has to offer.

The Darwin Creationist Award, like its illustrious bigger brother, the Darwin Award, which is awarded annually to the person who, by their utter inept stupidity has contributed positively to human evolution by removing their genes from the gene-pool, is awarded to the Creationist who similarly has done most to remove the meme of creationism from the human meme-pool. Self-sacrifice is not required for this award. All it takes is a tweet, blog, Facebook or other on-line comment, illustrating the utter moronic stupidity it takes to be fooled by professional Creationist charlatans and frauds, so making people think twice before falling for it themselves.

This year I've opened it up to the whole Internet, not restricting it to Twitter tweets, though I expect them to feature still. Candidate tweet, comment, blog, etc must be from this year (2013), ideally contemporaneous. Multiple submissions are allowed (encouraged!)

The winner will be chosen by popular vote from amongst candidates submitted to this blog.

Voting will begin early in October.

Submit your candidates as a comment below or by a tweet to me at @RosaResurrected. I'll post it here in due course.

Please supply:
  • Your name, Twitter user name or on-line id
  • Name, username or id of the candidate
  • Date entry posted (if available)
  • Tweet, post or link to blog/comment
  • A sentence or two in support of your submission (optional).
  • Or as much of the above as you can.
Due to the prestigious nature of this award, self-submissions and submissions from obvious trolls will not be permitted. The closing date for entries is 30 September. Voting will take place in early October with a second round runoff in the event of a first round tie.

Last year's candidates can be seen here. Not surprisingly a number of them seem to have deleted their accounts.

If tweets in the right-hand column do not appear in all their glory it could be that you have been blocked by the candidate. Many Creationists use blocking as a strategy for avoiding the cognitive dissonance caused by seeing facts and counter-arguments which might cause them to question or doubt their unshakeable faith. The Creationist meme can only function fully in an ignorant or dysfunctional mind.

Enjoy!

Full quote:
It says your ancestors was once a monkey, so everybody came monkeys, not Jesus or God. There's more evidence to prove that than some guy spawning two people with a magic tree. That's part of the Big Bang theory in which I don't agree with because I don't believe that I evolved from a huge explosion with particles of space and magically appeared as a human

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: The sheer ignorance of the science, which, with so much information now freely available must be either willful or feigned, and which is never-the-less rejected out of hand, is sadly typical of a Creationist but still makes this an outstanding candidate.

How f..king boring, insecure and lacking any imagination you need to be to believe that man evolved from animals? #atheism

— Alexander Nekrassov (@StirringTrouble)

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: The ease with which an entire body of science, together with the huge amount of supporting data, can be dismissed by someone who clearly knows nothing about the subject, other than that it doesn't meet his requirement for how humans came to be here, makes this a worthy candidate, in my humble opinion. A classic example of the argument from arrogant ignorance and personal incredulity.

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: The candidate clearly knows nothing of plant physiology and simple bio-feedback systems which are integral parts of biochemical pathways, yet feels able to draw conclusions from half-understood ideas, so is prey to any charlatan who feeds him what he wants to read. A classic Dunning-Kruger Syndrome where ignorance is not felt to be a barrier to understanding and learning and fact-checking are deemed to be unnecessary.

Evolution is atheism. It's not science, but an impossible, unrealistic, unbiological, invented process in order to remove God from equation.

— Joe Cienkowski (@JoeCienkowski)

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: I believe this is Dopey Joe Cienkowski's first nomination for this coveted award. For those who haven't met Joe, he is a great admirer of Kent Hovind's persuasive arguments, especially the size of his bank balance, and the fact that, like Joe, he has done time in a state penitentiary for criminal activities.

I've never seen an animal or a micro organism become a human. So that evolution shit is out the window for me.

@AgAthUK does everything have to be proven? Why do we think and have cognitive perception? Because we evolved? I doubt it.

— ⚡Kid Flash⚡ (@xCoveredInGoldx)

@AgAthUK where did animals come from? Where did insects come from? You mean to tell me a bug started the same way I did? No

@AgAthUK you mean to tell me some species still lay eggs and produce offspring and one day they will give birth like humans? I think not

— ⚡Kid Flash⚡ (@xCoveredInGoldx)

Submitted by: @WillChrisHughes

Citation: Difficult to pick the best from a veritable blizzard of pure gold Dunning-Kruger arrogant stupidity from this excellent candidate. Once again we see the traditional disregard for factuality and the assumption that the Universe has no option but to be exactly as they think it should be. No point in learning anything or checking any facts when knowledge can be plucked out of thin air or declared by fiat as and when the need arises - and how dare anyone be so impertinent as to disagree.

When their pastors see the product of the superstition and pride in ignorance that they have inculcated these poor people with, they must be so proud of their achievements - and their income stream.

@numbdave yes but human change from monkey to man would be large changes adding up to huge changes, and that hasnt happned to anything else

— Hunter (@Hunter_2732)

@numbdave because the believed times that it happened between where short in terms of evolution speed of everything else.

— Hunter (@Hunter_2732)

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: Witness the Creationist mind trying to cope with the complex idea of lots of small changes adding up to one large one in contrast to the idea of magic. Presumably, the idea of walking from one place to another one step at a time would be equally difficult to grasp.

Submitted by: @TomCinmidlife

Citation: Personal incredulity is such a convincing argument for a Creationist. If an uneducated idiot can't understand how it works then no-one can - so it must have been my imaginary friend.

Link is to an article about the basic physics of hitting a baseball, by the way. Apparently, @riverEu found it too hard to understand and concluded no one could understand it therefore it proves his imaginary friend makes it work. Gods are, of course, mentioned nowhere in the explanation, which is complete without any, as are all scientific explanations of anything.

Naturally, @riverEu ignored the question put to him.

In second tweet claims Darwin said bears became whales. Illustrates how he's attacking something about which he has only the vaguest of notions. No point in wasting a whole lot of honesty and integrity when you have an imaginary thug in the sky waiting to be placated.
28Candidate: @GiveMeMyRights

Citation: A second entry by this outstanding example of the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome. He doesn't have a clue what evolution is or how the Theory of Evolution explains it, but he knows it's all wrong, and tries to convince us by making up infantile notions left, right and center and throwing stones at them. The idea that his ignorance might be the problem is just too preposterous to even consider.

Credit for discovery: @TakeThatDarwin

Citation: Our first Turkish candidate and with video support. The Google Translate version from Turkish into English probably doesn't do justice to the full majesty of the argument he puts up against Evolution. Basically, it's the devastating argument that Evolution can't be true because Allah created everything. How can science compete with that, eh?

No prizes for not giggling as you watch the video. Thankfully, it's not too long.

DARWINISM A BODY BLOW THE FIRST BOOKLET

To that end, Adnan Oktar, primarily under the influence of over a hundred years time, people living away from religious moral values ​​to them and concentrated on proving the invalidity of this deception. Oktar has revealed the true face of the so-called science of Darwinism in the name of science itself is still believed that the most effective means. With this understanding, which is a summary of extensive research and studies had a booklet entitled The Theory of Evolution. All costs of this booklet by selling property inherited from his family. Then, as it began distributing free booklet university students.

This booklet is not any scientific value and the theory of evolution is a lie that shows a comprehensive work. Mr. Adnan Oktar who reads this work and many people speak clearly understood that the scientific validity of the theory of evolution. As a result, there is no creature can not be the result of chance, Almighty Allah created the universe and all living things in science, was to prove a clear and understandable manner. Still, some students blindly devoted to materialist thought, to see a clear denial, despite the fact that clearly stated that determination.

Moreover, some of the militant students at the university, if not stop the activities of Mr. Oktar, saying openly threatened his life would be in danger. All of these pressures and threats, Mr. Oktar has increased even more determination and devotion to God. The harsh reactions and concerns of the materialist and atheist circles, the most important part of the evidence that Mr. Adnan Oktar on the right track.

Citation: Another very worthy entry from 'conviction' Creationist, Joe Cienkowski. It's typical of Dopey Joe's invented gibberish, of course. He is still trying to push his brilliant new lie about what atheists claim - that cells sprout genitalia and limbs - and refuting it with his own invention that only humans develop from fertilized eggs.

Joe tries to earn a living emulating his hero, the convicted fraudster Kent Hovind. Having dabbled in drug dealing, he now spends a great deal of his time making up things like this and claiming they're what science or evolution or Atheism say, and writing 'books' about it which he tries to hawk to anyone ignorant and credulous enough to give him money. When challenged he normally just repeats his claim, eventually becoming abusive and blocking his opponent.

He also likes tweeting things about vaginas and penises, has a 'Levitican' approach to marriage, disciplining women and a husband's rights in a marriage, and feels exempt from the biblical laws concerning adultery, false witnessing and hypocrisy, which he tells everyone else they should observe. His tweets have become increasingly bizarre over the last year or so.

Citation: What makes this candidate rather special is that, having been advised to learn before making himself look stupid, he retaliates by making himself look even more stupid, as though that somehow neutralises the first piece of stupidity. It takes a Creationist to think that's how these things work.

Citation: The standard complete ignorance of a basic scientific term together with the use of the magic caps lock and abuse to force reality to conform, earns this candidate particularly consideration.

Citation: Quite! Why would any self-respecting Creationist read a book when they are born with an in-depth understanding of everything? If they don't know it, it doesn't exist. End of!

The violence we r witnessing is the result of teaching children they r descended from monkeys and that there is no absolute right or wrong.

— Gene Lingerfelt (@genelingerfelt) July 25, 2013

Submitted by: @RosaResurrected

Citation: Why can't these scientists just see that we never had any violence before 1859 and that evolution just can't be true because Creationists who need a hand-book to look up right and wrong in would have to develop empathy and see things from other people's point of view?

I bet it was evolutionists who did away with slavery, daughter sales, killing rape victims and stoning naughty children to death too.

Citation: So that's how proper science should be done - the way it is by people who feel qualified to dismiss an entire body of it. First you show you know nothing about it and are not even sure what it is, but you just know it's all wrong. Then you say you hope someone kills anyone who disagrees.

Obviously that saves all that bother of meticulous observation to discover facts, reading around the subject to see what other experts have found, doing experiments, analysing your results, submitting your finding for peer-review and arguing your case in the court of informed scientific opinion like those mad people in white coats with propellers on their heads do.

  4. What I like about @loadsofducks tweet is first, he's using an image that has copyright protection and I suspect the journal Science, did not give him permission. Second, his argument also claimed the presence of C14 proved in the sample, proved it was a young fossil.

    Confused? We were too. It turns out he was conflating the C14 unstable isotope with the carbon in organic molecules. He just assumed that because there were organic molecules left, that meant there was C14 isotopes also.

    It was a splendid combination of dishonesty and ignorance.
