Of all the dishonest claims made by creationists, which is your favorite?

There are circular claims, unfounded and insupportable claims, and blatant lies, I'm just asking about the lies, which is your favorite lie?

I think mine is that DNA "proves" Adam and Eve.

    "Darwin himself that the evolution of the eye is absurd in the highest degree!" I love when someone posts this because they get 30 immediate answers and they always end up deleting the question out of embarrassment.

    In general, I am quite fond of the 2nd Law nonsense and the blatant cherry-picking they do to make it sound like Darwin or some other scientist was a creationnit, but my very, very favorite of all time was the impassioned claim I once saw by a creationnit who was anxious to clear Adam and Eve of any hint of scandal by claiming that the incest practiced by Adam and Eve's children was really OK because, as they were born shortly after humans were created, there really wasn't time for a lot of sin to have clogged up their DNA...because to that guy, clogged-up DNA is apparently all makes incest wrong.

    Dinosaurs were on the ark but died out later.

    Especially seeing as how no more than two Argentinasauruses would have fit on the ark leaving no room for any other animals. I've heard them argue that they were still in the eggs ... but the bible says each animal "and its mate" implying they are of reproductive age. Animals in eggs don't have mates.

    Yeah, I'll go with 2nd law of thermodynamics too. It's hard enough to understand it properly without all the intentional misrepresentation.

    Mostly I think it's the culture of indoctrination and willful ignorance that gets to me the most.

    That they actually care followed by the fact that most of them are closer to Apes than Humans like Ashton Kutcher.

    I don't know if I would call it "dishonest" or even say they're lying, because they are saying what they believe to be true.

    But it kind of tickles my pickle when they say the Bible is evidence of creation.

    I think it is the clam that the Second Law of Thermodynamics disproves evolution, though I do agree with Vexed that it is not necessarily through dishonesty.

    That the earth is only 6,000 years old (ignoring the 4,900 year old first Chinese dynasty and the fact that the Jewish year is number 5773).

    I'm partial to "why are there still monkeys?" The crocoduck is also close to my heart. It's just so darn cute.

    The earth is only 6000 years old.
