Who's the shittiest scientist?

[Ilovelucy]

Richard Feynman! I once picked up one of his academic papers, went straight to a random paragraph in the middle. DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD OF IT!!! I thought to myself, this is just intellectual masturbation. I'm an intelligent guy, if I don't understand it , then it's obviously bollocks! Give me a real straight talking scientist any day, like Richard Hammond or Johnny Ball.

[Clinton Huxley]

Bodhitharta. Who could forget Bodhitharta's Law....? You remember Bodhitharta's Law, right?

Jude's hippie brother?

He was an RDF legend, for a time. Coined his own Law that "proved" male and female "organs" could not have evolved.

Your forgetting the important line of the equation: therefore god exists.

I miss Bod, he was the Isaac Hayes of internet creationism.

Then there was Supersport, originator of the earth-shattering hypothesis - "DNA doesn't do anything, really"

In terms of real scientists, maybe Lysenko

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Thomas Alva Edison, the biggest prick ever.

[Clinton Huxley]

That "Panspermia" chappie who thinks eveything is related to alien microbes; the flu? Alien microbes. Red rain in India? Alien microbes.

Or the aquatic ape guy from RDF. Algis? EVERY feature of human physiology explained by our ancestors getting wet occassionally.

There's no contest.
God is the clear winner, he designed every disease known to man, and he's still working on new ones.
And Jesus fuckin Christ is a close second. He knew the cure for Leprosy, but only cured three in his lifetime. And he knew how to turn water into the best wine, but never told anybody. Crucifiction was too good for him.

Thomas Midgeley Jr.

'Nuff said.

[Don't Panic]

Newton didn't like anyone and was notoriously difficult to get along with. I wouldn't really rely on his judge of character.

Newton was an alchemist, the mercury fumes probably addled his brain.


The worst scientist is Ray Comfort, his general theory of banana is utter nonsense, and the special one doesn't work if you invert it.

[JOZeldenrust]

I'd go for Noam Chomsky. His ideas about generative grammar were essential to the development of linguistics, but he's stuck to his preconceptions like a fly to bullshit even after it became obvious that his methods were useless. He could teach dogmatism to the Catholics.

[Blondie]

I'm surprised. No one has said Richard Dawkins. He's my pick. He's a good science writer, but that's all.

John Gregory Bourke, author of Scatologic Rites of Nations. One can only imagine that he must have got his hands a little dirty penning that masterpiece...

[Mysturji]

I was going to post the name of a prominent scatologist to confuse you all, but in looking for one, I found something even funnier:

For the beliefs of various religions concerning the End Times, see Eschatology.
