Last night, Creationist Ken Ham tweeted this remarkably misguided message:

KenHamTweet

Sadly many people mock us but often they’ve never read our material! Visit http://answersingenesis.org for over 10,000 articles and resources.

What he forgets is that many more people mock him because we’ve read his material.

We don’t criticize Creationists out of spite. It’s not because their existence poses some threat to us. It’s because we see exactly what they’re saying, understand how irrational and ill-considered it really is, and want to prevent them from brainwashing kids with misinformation.

And if Ken Ham ever read anything besides the Bible, he might figure that out.
