This is great stuff. Once a kook is identified, it's consistently entertaining to find out what other hot-button kook issues they may be hiding and get them started. And they nearly always do; people holding fringe ideas in one area of scientific inquiry tend to be fundamentally anti-rational and therefore receptive to all sorts of stuff.

Crop circles are made by aliens, aliens mutilate cattle, UFO's are frat-boy aliens, we have secret bases on Mars, the Moon landings were faked, modern medicine is a hoax, there's a Face on Mars, gravity was less in the old days, Earth orbited Saturn, Venus popped out of Jupiter, the Electric Universe, the Time Cube, giants roamed the earth, people lived 900 years, fruit from a tree imparted the knowledge of good and evil, the various resurrections of Mithra/Horus/Appolonius/Jesus/et al,

The list of outright insanity goes on and on and on and on ...

Maybe we'll have a poll on adding those items to science class. The results may be the same as for creationism.

Thanks for pointing out the average character of evolution-true-believers: Un-believers.
