About once a year I remember that a site you’ll swear up and down is a parody exists, and I have a look around to see what ol’ Ikester has done with the place. The site is called YEC Headquarters, and although I cannot vouch for whether it serves any official or unofficial administrative role in creationist machinations (though I have a good guess), what I know for sure is that I have never seen a domain that so beautifully captures every Bible-whacky canard, misinterpretation, myth, misunderstanding, lie, and desperate attempt at fact-evasion as this one.
Where to begin? Well, there’s the front page, where Ike tells us that:
- Someone named “Eugene Scott” (possibly a relative of NCSE director Eugenie Scott) is spreading lies about the bold and valiant envoy for truth named Ben Stein, the main figure behind the admirably dishinest and worthless Christo-prop film Expelled. And you just thought Stein was prevaricating pissbag! Nope, behind those signature Coke-bottle glasses resting just above signature jowls is a true visionary who, according to Ike (who apparently doesn’t read the papers), is “laughing all the way to the bank” thanks to the success [sic] of Expelled.
- WorldNut Daily again has the real scoop on the widespread persecution of Christians in America.
. - Evolutionary biology is not an endeavor springing from scientific inquiry and supported by limitless amounts of incontrovertible evidence that does, in fact, argue against the already laughable fables in the Bible, but a movement specifically created to not only suppress but ultimately wipe out Christians and Christianity by dint of genocide and worse.
- Not content to stick with ruining the faithful using bad science, “evolutionist-atheists” expend vast amounts of energy sodomizing Christianity with pornography.
- Darwin’s theory is responsible for school shootings and Haeckel’s drawings for the rise of Hitler, although the respective effects of these two causes can presumably be interchanged and each cause also blamed for pornography, atheism, the true persecution of people based on their religious affiliation, and the existence of alternate sects — none of which were known to humankind before the 19th century, or so creationists appear to believe.
- The stability of coelocanths over hundreds of millions of years (which goofy scientists attribute to a comparative dearth of environmental selection pressures) not only disproves evolution itself but exposes evolutionists as frauds.
Normally, when you see such a comprehensively ignorant and addled groundswell of horseshit — especially one communicated through the one typical, barely readable creationist dialects derived from English — it’s tempting to assume that a parodist is behind the production. That is not the case here; Ikester has been embarrassing himself for years. He’s poop-smearing nuts, and not in the charming way of, say, a guy who keeps human heads in his freezer and subsists on a diet of placentas and Sterno, but in a sad, confused, and angry way.

This is my WTF moment of the day.
None of which occurred before the 19th century? I know it’s not worth pointing out the glaringly obvious dumbfuckery by example here, but….damn.

Coelecanths got nothin’ on solifuges, which are worldwide in distribution but which all clearly descended from one common ancestor — before the continents split apart. Why are they still around? Because they’re spectacularly successful, all tings being equal.
Too bad that bit of news won’t make it to YEC HQ. One wonders how much hay they’d make of it. (Or maybe they already knew about it, but find solifuges too creepy to write about.)

I have to say that I wonder, as well, how to sodomize a Christian with pornography. I figure a rolled-up magazine would work, but what about a DVD or VHS tape? Isn’t that extremely hard – I have heard rumors but I don’t think most people are that….elastic. What about computer porn? I have an iMac – do I need to use the whole computer, or would a dvd work for that?
