Time to vote for this year's Darwin Creationist Award winner! A little later than planned due to unforeseen censorship of a Twittorial nature, but better late than never.Just a reminder: the Darwin Creationist Award goes to a person who, by a creationist tweet, website or blog so unutterably cretinous has done most to improve the human memepool by helping to remove creationism from it. I appreciate this is often a difficult task as so many creationist tweets and articles are excellent candidates, as can be seen from over 100 nominations this year.
To simplify the task, I have autocratically selected just a small sample of what I consider to be the best. Congratulations to all those who failed to make the final shortlist but I should point out that you were all nominated by me, so your exclusion is more to do with my altruism than with your moronitude. Don't lose heart. Better luck next year.
The original list of nominations is still here to be enjoyed.
To vote, just state the number of your preference in the comments below. Voting will close at the end of October unless a playoff is called for.

| 2 | Candidate: @wimberlyOneTIME June 27, 2013 3:13 AM Stop believing stupid shit that people tell you with a straight face June 27, 2013 3:15 AMYou to old to believe in evolution. If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys. are they the stupid that couldn't evolve? — Deezus (@wimberlyOneTIME)Submitted by: @WillChrisHughes Citation: The stupidity of these two tweets next to each other is hilarious (thanks to @BobbyOven for pointing it out): pic.twitter.com/RmVelGQshM |

| 3 | Candidate: @AtThyWord777 (Also posts as @ErrolSmythe777 April 18, 2013 7:15 AM @chriswalsh709 You are RIGHT. Evolution is a FAIRY TALE. -- Charles Perrault wrote about MICE turning into HORSES ; LIZARDS to Humans etc — BrotherErrolSmythe (@AtThyWord777)Submitted by: @chriswalsh709 Citation: Errol Smythe has apparently mistaken Cinderella, a fantasy fairy-tale written by Charles Perrault some 200 years before Darwin, and the theme of a popular children's pantomime, for a textbook on evolution. |

| 4 | Candidate: @Mikexxxx1 June 27, 2013 6:08 PM @thenotimer Put 2 canines on an Island and come back after a few centuries U'll find all kinds of canines, but no cats — Mikexxxx (@Mikexxxx1)Submitted by: @thenotimer Citation: @Mikexxxx1 was so pleased with the brilliance of this insight that he RT'ed it himself a few minutes later. |

| 6 | Candidate: @TheSunriseMusic June 29, 2013 8:01 AM @OfficialKBunton @RobzGalaxy So you got your conscience from salamanders and slime? — The Sunrise (@TheSunriseMusic)Submitted by: @RosaResurrected Citation: Again the classic Dunning-Kruger Syndrome - confident dismissal of an entire body of science from a position of complete ignorance and no need to bother with any learning or fact-checking. |
|
| 7 | Candidate: @JoeCienkowski June 30, 2013 01:05 PM 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. |

| 8 | Candidate: @xCoveredInGoldx June 30, 2013 I've never seen an animal or a micro organism become a human. So that evolution shit is out the window for me. — ⚡Kid Flash⚡ (@xCoveredInGoldx)@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 — ⚡Kid Flash⚡ (@xCoveredInGoldx)@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)@theoyouknow smh, I mean it's dumb to think evolution is possible. Certain species lay eggs and have healthy offspring. — ⚡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. |

That takes a very special type of Dunning-Kruger moronitude. |

| 11 | Candidate: @justinn_way July 2, 2013 8:31 AM @GodfreyATheist @MatthiasBradfor @KelsTheSecular I'm supposed to believe because Darwin found some ape skull that dinosaurs "evolved" into — Justin. (@justinn_way)Submitted by: @AtomicDaytona Citation: Don't believe something? Not sure why? Just make something up! Isn't that what normal people do? Who needs education? |

| 12 | Candidate: @riverEu July 5, 2013 5:22 AM @RosaRubicondior the stupidity of atheism demonstrated: http://t.co/Yc0uXxglm8 - therefore no one invented or played the game. — jodi lauphlyn (@riverEu)July 5, 2013 3:27 AM @mhibrahimksa @RosaRubicondior a very intellectual view point and from one who beliefs are equally fucking ridiculous. darwin bear2whale lol — jodi lauphlyn (@riverEu)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. |

And the question is... — lydia apel (@LydiaApel)July 6, 2013 5:58 AM Why is there still monkeys, you dumb mother fucker you. Is these the retarded monkeys? They didn't turn into people yet? #kattwilliams — lydia apel (@LydiaApel)Submitted by: @RosaResurrected Citation: Well that's convinced me! We need more of these foul-mouthed, semi-literate Christians to tell us how the world works, I say. Who needs books and science and all that stuff when we have people who just know things? Thank God for Dunning & Kruger, I say! |

| 15 | Candidate: @JoeCienkowski @AtrumAtheist @TomEcho6 evolution- a cell came to life; magically grows arms, legs, brain, blood, penis and vagina through 'natural' process — Joe Cienkowski (@JoeCienkowski) July 9, 2013 2:07 PMSubmitted by: @RosaResurrected Citation: The second entry for this outstanding candidate. Many people have assumed that Joe, the 'conviction' Christian whose idol is the millionaire Creationist fraudster Kent Hovind, must be a parody or a fraud trying to imitate his idol, but it seems he really does believe he is attacking the scientific Theory of Evolution, which is whatever he says it is. He proudly boasts of having never read a science book so his inerrant knowledge doesn't get contaminated. |

To think, it took 3.5 billion years to evolve and yet it still can be subverted by a psychiatric disorder caused by childhood mental abuse which itself relies on the evolved human characteristic of childhood gullibility. |

| 19 | Candidate: Adnan Oktar 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. |

| 22 | Candidate: @JoeCienkowski @numbdave you say NOTHING. You explain NOTHING. YES, YOU DO SUGGEST SINGLE CELLS HUMAN ANCESTRY, which is not possible, except to dolts. — Joe Cienkowski (@JoeCienkowski) July 17, 2013 1:25 PMSubmitted by: @RosaResurrected Citation: Another entry from Dopey Joe. Joe often shouts aggressively when he feels threatened by a fact. He seems to believe that's scientific debate. |

Disruption generates disease of one soul — Oktar Babuna (@OktarBabuna) July 17, 2013 10:23 PMNominated by: @Stooshie Citation: Dr. Babuna says he is a neurosurgeon in his Bio and in this tweet is talking about the surgical procedure "corpus callosotomy" (splitting the corpus callosum which connects the two halves of the brain). This is done in severe cases of epilepsy and seems to be quite effective. He says it causes a disease of the soul. He's a neurosurgeon!!! |

| 24 | Candidate: @TheSunriseMusic @grenangle @Brew_BBQ Did the failure of natural selection, PROVED by the continuation of the black race, prove that Darwin was wrong? YES! — The Sunrise (@TheSunriseMusic) July 17, 2013 9:03 AMSubmitted by: @RosaResurrected Citation: I wonder who fed this unfortunate candidate the idea that black people are failures of evolution. A nice example there of how ignorance is exploited for political gain by unscrupulous frauds. The irony is that it was the same Christian fascist right who perverted and misrepresented Darwinian evolution to claim it prove the slave races were inferior, and therefore slavery was justified biologically as well as biblically, who now using that lie to tell the American underclass that Darwinian evolution is wrong because it's racist, so they should vote for the fundy Christian white guy who would support the KKK if he could get away with it and still be elected. Strange how truth can change for the political convenience of the white supremacist Christian right, eh? |

For some reason Errol, like several other fundamentalists, seems to believe saying the same thing with more than one account makes it more true. Once again Errol has apparently confused the Children's fairy story of Cinderella for a textbook on biology and has written a long essay about it complete with a 'bibliography' consisting of er... the Bible and Cinderella. A very strong contender amongst many, I feel. |

| 26 | Candidate: @C0ltharted @Bye_Dogma I was raised southern baptist, I'm not a southern baptist, Jewish, catholic, whatever. But while atheism is based on scientific — Shane (@C0ltharted) July 21, 2013 11:39 PM@Bye_Dogma theories based on fact, there are many people and scientists who would argue otherwise towards these "facts" — Shane (@C0ltharted) July 21, 2013 11:39 PM@Bye_Dogma there's no way to tell if evolution really happened, or if there is a god, but what you believe in can take you farther — Shane (@C0ltharted) July 21, 2013 11:40 PMSubmitted by: @GodFreeWorld Citation: Well obviously, if atheism is based on scientific facts that's no reason to think it's factual! So, how can facts be used to prove the theory of evolution? Where did these mad scientists ever get the idea you can use facts to prove things? I mean, it's as stupid as measuring the height of a mountain and then using that to say how high the mountain is! Much better to look it up in a book written by Bronze-Age goat-herders who obviously knew everything. |

A very worthy candidate. |

| 28 | Candidate: @SWE_61 @mckinnleystokes how did science make the ocean? If we evolved from monkeys then all the monkeys should be gone — Zacn (@SWE_61) July 22, 2013 6:32 AMSubmitted by: @neiljhenry Citation: It's not so much the routine ignorance and misinformation about monkeys and evolution which makes this an outstanding candidate as the belief that evolution has something to do with ocean formation. Guaranteed to have Creationists nodding in agreement and normal people laughing out loud. |

| 29 | Candidate: @JoeCienkowski @tony_oliver @RosaRubicondior @TakeThatDarwin atheism teaches a cell grew legs, arms, penises and vaginas. In what way is this inaccurate? — Joe Cienkowski (@JoeCienkowski) July 18, 2013@UC_george @tony_oliver @RosaRubicondior @TakeThatDarwin we observe fertilized eggs becoming organisms, but ONLY with human counterparts — Joe Cienkowski (@JoeCienkowski) July 18, 2013Submitted by: @UC_george 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. |

Watch : evolution Vs The bible @ALAtheist — Republican Mom (@shemararae) August 14, 2013Submitted by: @ALAtheist Citation: The secret of good science is to ignore the evidence and keep on asserting there isn't any. Easy-peasy. Second nomination for this very worthy candidate who specialises in ignoring the evidence and calling people names for not doing the same. |

| 32 | Candidate: @TrueBibleAnswer (Errol Smythe wth a new ID) The flesh of humans is different to the flesh of fish & different to the flesh of reptiles & different to the flesh of birds. NO #Evolution — BrotherErrolSmythe (@TrueBibleAnswer) September 17, 2013Submitted by: @Stooshie (Andrew Wilson) Citation: Well, obviously, diversity can only prove one thing - diversification doesn't happen. Why can biologists never see the obvious? Why does it take a scientifically illiterate creationist to point it out? |
|
Wow, this is a tough one. I don't think I've ever seen this much stupidity concentrated in one place before (and that's saying something, since I read a lot of US Republican political websites). These people are certainly not among nature's sharpest "cretestures".
ReplyDeleteI have to give Wendy Jo Mason #1 and Magna Sofa (big couch???) #18 credit for coming up with such stunning non sequiturs, and to Sunrise Music #24 for racism. Joe Cienkowski #22 is the most confusing in that it's really impossible to figure out what point he was trying to make. Lydia Apel #14 is the funniest, apparently thinking that people hold beliefs with their asses, not their brains. Justin Way #11 is the most wrong about Darwin -- "found some ape skull". Clearly none of these people have the foggiest idea of how evolution actually works. But in the end I have to vote for Gara Dizaey #27, since what he produces doesn't bear even the faintest, vaguest resemblance to an argument for his position at all.
Such a difficult decision - there are so many worthy candidates here. I don't think any "Y MUNKEYZ" candidate deserves especial treatment (since @TakeThatDarwin discovers dozens of new ones every day) and so shall discount those. Of course, Dopey Joe is a particular favourite of mine and you've included a segment where he responded to me with a spectacularly outlandish response (the now-famous "single cells grow legs, penises, etc."), so I vote #29.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite amazing how many of them think that "if monkeys evolved into humans, why are there still monkeys?" is a compelling argument.
DeleteI agree this is a tough choice, the field has so many strong contenders. However, I was very impressed with #21 for coining the imaginative and nearly unpronounceable neologism "cretestures" and then mocking biologists for their inability to create them, because apparently that's what biologists are supposed to be about. An honourable mention to #9 for challenging secular scientists to create a replica of the earth RIGHT NOW! Because real science is indistinguishable from magic you know!
ReplyDeleteWhat Infidel said. I need to think about this one. These people could really use a biology course.
ReplyDeleteI think #7 pretty much sums up how ignorance and fear manifests itself. Nice and compact, yet thorough attempt, at aligning god with science.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to admit I was drinking serious whiskey as I read these and some of the later ones may not have gotten their due, but two of them managed to penetrate my drunken stupor/laughter induced oxygen deprivation.
ReplyDeleteFor #8, I concede that I too have never seen a micro organism do anything, But still.
And #18, as I fear my threshold of lethal alcohol poisoning is closer than the point where it makes sense virgin girls disprove evolution.
#28 for me. To build up to the old 'why are there still monkeys' from a base of the wholly original, to me, and spectacularly stupid intro of 'how did science make the ocean?' is anti-genius. This kid is like an exact inverse of Einstein and fully deserves an award for his perfectly balanced mix of classic and original ignorance.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of Pythonesque lunacy, Rosa. Although tempted by the crassness & ignorance of #14, my selection simply must be #18. The tweet appears to have all the hallmarks of the structure of a conditional question, yet defies any of my further attempts to decipher a semblance of comprehension of its meaning. It's too bizarre to positively define as a non-sequitur. It's a wonder that a mind capable of that tweet can function sufficiently to type and use the internet...
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, every time I look at Lydia Apel's name, it registers as "Lydia Ape" with an exclamation point.
DeleteI would have voted for Ray Comfort but I suppose that's like voting for the best brick in "The Best Brick" awards, so my vote definitely goes to Joe Cienkowsky, not only because of his verbal dysentery but also because I wish he was extinct.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with Joe Cienkowski, as his prolific mindless anti-science rants and inanity is probably unmatched anywhere among the crazies of creationism. I do think one was left out that was very striking; there was one where the reply was (paraphrasing here, but this was too hard NOT to remember). The person basically said this about evolution, that, "Scientist need to just stop making stuff up". I mean, it's simplicity in utter ignorance is very telling. Still though, these are great candidates!
ReplyDeleteI have tried several times now to pick the best of the worst, but it has been difficult to get through them all without going into hysterical seizures! Sorry!
ReplyDelete#8 if voting hasn't closed yet.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it has and @xCoveredInGoldx didn't make the three-way tie-breaker at Darwin Creationist Award 2013 - Tiebreaker! Voting there closes Monday 11 November.
DeleteI'm actually happy that this takes another vote, only because of the high quality of creationist thinking in this list. Still though, I still have to go with Joe Cienkowski. I mean, he's a treasure trove of complete scientific lunacy for those who want to remain ignorant. As an aside "Republican Mom" should get a special mention. I mean she's well versed in claiming that educators don't know what the hell they are talking about and demands it to be so. See, that's proof right there!
