Religious Figure

The Resume

    (January 15, 1953- )
    Founded the Creation Science Evangelism ministry (1989)
    Built the creationist theme park Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola, Florida (2001)

Why he might be annoying:

    He received his degrees from a non-accredited diploma mill.
    Fellow creationist Ken Ham criticized him for 'persistently using discredited or false arguments.'
    He claims Creationism is not taught in schools because of a 'New World Order' conspiracy involving Ted Turner, the British Royal Family, the state of Israel and the ACLU.
    He blames teaching evolution for pretty much everything evil in the world, including 'Communism, Socialism, Nazism, abortion, liberalism and the New Age movement.'
    He endorsed the anti-Semitic hoax 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'
    He claims the US government was behind 9/11, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the 1993 World Trade Center attack.
    He said 'Democracy is evil and contrary to God's will.'
    He never filed tax returns, claiming that as a minister everything he owns belongs to God.
    Not surprisingly, the IRS didn't buy that argument, and he was eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay $600,000 in back taxes and penalties (January 19, 2007).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He claims, 'I am not trying to get the evolution theory out of the schools.'
    His attempt to appeal the amount of his tax liability was denied on the technicality that he had failed to raise the issue in time.
    He appeared in the 'Science' episode of Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Da Ali G Show.' (2003)
