Creationism Caption Competition #1 – Results

Last week I held a competition to find the best caption for a creationist photo.I got plenty of entries, which either means people loved the concept or they didn’t mind having no prize (unless a graffitied copy of Ray Comfort’s latest book counts as a prize). I’m still open to prize suggestions that can fit in with a student budget, and I want to continue this competition as it’s great fun watching people come up with captions for creationists and their silly antics.

Anyway, here are the top 5 best captions as selected by me:

Losing… Grip… On reality!

- Bruce

Just a theory, GRAVITY is just a THEORY!

- Edward

*David Attenborough voice* And here we see the creationist in its natural environment, between a rock and a hard place. We can tell it is of the young earth breed due to the way it reaches, grasping for straws but only clasps thin air…

- BastardSheep

All right, PZ, you win! I will give you that damn iPod Touch!

- James Tracy

Things went from bad to worse when, as the bright light at the end of the tunnel cleared, Eric Hovind saw glorious Valhalla in all its splendor.

- Janus Graydon

So congratulations to Janus Graydon of extheist.net, you have won the first Creationism Caption Competition! Without further ado, here is the caption and photo put together at last:

Things went from bad to worse when, as the bright light at the end of the tunnel cleared, Eric Hovind saw glorious Valhalla in all its splendor.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new caption competition in a few weeks, and feel free to send in suggestions of captionless photos!

In my random stumbling around on the internet, I found a bunch of creationist websites that contained photos of various creationists as part of some kind of “about our team” page. Now some of these pictures are just plain and boring, but there are a few that simply cry out for a funny caption. So I’ve decided to create a caption competition in order to correct this massive lack of creationist captions, and here is the first picture.

So dear reader, what exactly is Eric Hovind reaching for? Why does he have a look of terror on his cute creationist face? Why is he clinging to that rock so desperately? The answer to those questions is up to you.

Now onto the issue of a prize. As a student I generally don’t have any money, which means I cannot promise a prize, although I do have an extra signed copy of Ray Comfort’s latest masterpiece “You can lead an atheist to evidence, but you can’t make him think”. To be quite honest, such a book would be better off as a booby prize instead, but it is all I can offer at the moment. Perhaps I could get some cheap badges made, I’m open to suggestions.

So really, it’s a double competition now: Whoever comes up with the best caption and a great idea for some cheap (but cool) prizes will win…er…one of the prizes (and a copy of Ray’s book that I will sign / doodle in). You have a week to do so; off you go!
