Kem Ham: "I am not a moron"

While The Discovery Institute is one of my favorite targets, another that I probably do not spend enough time laughing at is Ken Ham, or AnswersInGenesis and the Creation Museum of Kentucky fame. Here is part of a scathing commentary back to him because apparently little Kennie Ham thinks evolutionists pick on him:

You said that unicorns are real. You claim that the Beowulf story is evidence of human cohabitation with dinosaurs. You say that sometimes religious genocide is OK. You think that the government is training people to talk to aliens. You believe that evolution is a random process, a process of blind chance, which is just factually wrong. You target children because they can't defend themselves and trust you (talk about a cowardly act). You believe if a 2-year old understands it, it must be cutting edge science. You believe that observation and measurement cannot trump "common sense." You believe you do the type of science that you need "faith" to understand instead of, you know, "understanding" to understand. You believe...whatever the fuck this is. You employ the nanny-nanny boo-boo defense. Your ilk does not even try to publish outside of its little circle, and you set up a bogus journal to pretend that you were scholars, THEREBY AVOIDING THE DEBATE YOU CLAIM TO CRAVE. You stare at evolution, describe evolution, and then say, "It's not evolution."

And yet you wonder why someone with an education and responsibilities and a reputation would not talk to you? Despite this record of shame (I could have gone on and on just looking at my website alone), you have the balls to claim that you won something by being so catastrophically ignorant as to be not worth speaking to?

KEN, WE ARE TIRED OF TRYING TO TALK TO YOU. WE HAVE MOVED ON TO RIDICULE. THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE, YOU PIG-IGNORANT SLAVE.

The links are all back to other blog posts. It's pretty much a no-holds-barred commentary. It's actually a lot of fun to read. But I'm not sure I could add anything to any description of kennie and his two annoying enterprises. I'm sure one of these days I will go to the Creation Museum myself. But not until I think I can make it through the whole thing without losing my lunch and maintaining a straight face. Right now I really believe I will get kicked out the first time I see a homo-sapien riding on the back of a dinosaur toward Noah's ark.

I picked up the trail for this piece on Pyaryngula. The link is right here.
