While creationists like Ken Ham train the kiddies to behave like disruptors:
"Boys and girls," Ham said. If a teacher so much as mentions evolution, or the Big Bang, or an era when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, "you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?".

I couldn't care less if the clerk in the nearby shoestore (or my neighbor) doesn't believe in evolution.
Why do the anti-evolutionist care what scientists believe? A lot of these creationists are as annoying as the professional atheists who sue the local government to take down the Ten Commandments.
I suspect they have the same motivation as teenagers who do drive-by mooning of adults.

Ken Ham, and any parent who inculcates such ignorance in children should be locked up. It's child abuse, plain and simple.

I don't think Ham realizes it, but his views on reality and history is very close to what is taught in uber-left wing liberal arts departments around this country.

The popular view these days among liberal academics is that the only legitimate way to view history is through one's own experiences, and that the viewpoint of an illiterate laborer is just as valuable in the historic record as, say, Abraham Lincoln's.
