I'm going to go ahead and give major props to Kent Hovind. For some reason this guy makes my skin crawl. He has this slimy, deceptive type of style that makes him extra dangerous. Others like Ken Hamm are more honest in their dogma and seem to defend creationism from their dumb little hearts. Kent here is selling creation like he's earning commission. And he charms his audience into laughing at anything he says (There's at least one scene where his audience is just wildly laughing at pictures of peoples faces photoshopped on to the body of chimpanzees. This guy is extra slimy, and for that I give him my YE creationist award for innovative persuasion techniques in the field of deception, and trickery.

Apologies if this is posted under the wrong sub-forum, I'm  newb.

Just found out that this guy has been in prison for three different counts of tax evasion. At one point claiming that he doesn't owe taxes because everything he owns belongs to god.

Religion is nothing but a high pressure sales pitch.
I identify my favorite YEC's as those I never find a reason to ever have occasion to run into.
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

Religion has no product, so production costs could be very low. But the showmanship required to "pitch" the nonexistent product requires that the hucksters be flashy. Self-delusion does the rest.

Years ago I worked for a telemarketing company promising to fix people's shitty credit. We actually had a better product.  Of course it was 100% bullshit and the company owner went to prison for 7 years,  but at least the "customers" got a bill.
All hail my new signature!

I apparently don't keep close enough track of these guys.  I wouldn't have enough knowledge to pick a favorite.

Way of the Master. They have a nice little style of threatening Evolutionists with a nice little trip to Hell for their troubles.

Favorite? In what sense?

Sleaziest? Ken Ham.
Nicest? Ray Comfort.
Stupidest? NephilimFree.

Ken Ham is the worst of all. He's in it purely for the money, and he knows it. Most creationists actually believe the shit they spew, but I'm convinced Ham doesn't believe a word of what he peddles. A con man of the worst order.

Ray Comfort isn't very smart. He knows his arguments are weak, but continues to use them. But he's a hell of a friendly guy.

NephilimFree is the dumbest of the dumb. Not much more to say about him. Calling him an idiot is an insult to the intelligence of idiots.

I know some kid that is a YEC. He doesn't talk about it to anyone unless someone insists that he talks about it. I guess that would make him my favorite YEC.

That and he doesn't want to have kids.

An oldie but a goodie "venomfangx" on youtube.
I don't think he's active anymore, I think he quit before I even heard of him.
But man, sure was interesting to see him make a fool of himself, even years later.
And, as a bonus there's a connection to Kent Hovind, he parroted him word for word for a long time.
