Personally I don't laugh at creationists because I find them creepy and appalling, but YouTube maestro Thunderf00t is laughing at them by producing a series of superb, crystal-clear videos that highlight the frightening stupidity of creationist claims.Here are three particularly impressive episodes:
"Fun facts" about the evolution of the solar system.

Scary that people believe in this stuff. More scarier still to me remains the number of people at A* who ask:
"Do you believe in evolution"
ME:"WTFISTBOFFSBBQ. Is the sky blue?"
We've got a guy here that believes genetic algorithms aren't a valid computational technique because they're based on evolution, which is "just a theory".
He also believes that algorithms from evolutionary robotics should be tossed out in favour of intelligently designed ones.
I kid you not.
Really? Holy crap, that's class. You just can't make that sort of stuff up!
"just a theory"
It would all be so amazingly amusing if only it wasn't so serious.
To AH:
Yup. And that's likely an under-representation since there are closet creationists who won't express their views publicly. Quite worrying...
To Lab Rat:
Wow, evolutionary robotics sounds cool. Do we have such a research group in Singapore?
There's a group in NUS ECE working on this. I'm guessing DSTA/DSO might also have a few hush-hush projects in this area, since evolutionary robotics is a pretty cool and viable technique for designing autonomous vehicle controllers.
