The Creation Science Hall of Fame is proud to show the first ever Creation Science Trophy, the Gish-Morris-Whitcomb Award . It will be awarded to a Creationist who has made outstanding contributions to Creation Science in a given year. He will display his award for one year and then pass it along to next years’ winner. It could be awarded to a creation club, organization or an individual. The winner for the year 2013 is Ray Comfort from Living Waters Ministry for directing his film, Evolution vs. God.

Well, at least this shows the sophistication (or more like the lack of it) of the creationism crowd...
... At least paint the damn thing!!!
What no award ceremony? How can he give a tear filled speech thanking everyone especially God without whom none of this would be possible.
Also he only gets to keep it for a year. How tightfisted is that. I mean you don't have to hand an Oscar back after a year. Can't they afford to make another one.
What contributions to Creation Science can you do? Isn't it all "Goddidit", end of story?
Is that movie as bland and laughable as Expelled?
Evolution vs. God?
Billions of fossils vs. One poorly translated and contradictory book
Solid evidence vs. Ancient anecdotes
Never been disproven vs. Can't even be falsified
Indisputable winner vs. Forfeit due to no-show
Comfort didn't make any contribution to "creation science". He merely made an ignorant attack on the theory of evolution, a subject on which he knows very little. The last "contribution" was made decades ago by Henry Morris, who effectively defined the subject. Since then, creation science has consisted of parroting Morris and saying "evolution is wrong, so creationism must be right" - the classic "argument from ignorance" fallacy.
As if the Freudian nature of the trophy wasn't subtle enough, they put a picture of it next to a ruler. (Classy, btw.)
Honestly, I've seen porno trophies less phallic than this thing.
This doesn't look very much intelligently designed to me; it looks more like a spoof tribute to John Holmes and Ron Jeremy, both of whom would have turned it down. What is represented by the etching, veins? Maybe if they paint it pink, I don't know. If it fits perfectly in Ray's hand it could be a worthy weapon at Bob's Wee Nippy on a Saturday night.

@ tyler (below)
idgi how do you make contributions to a pseudo-field that has literally not changed or made any sort of advances in decades
Decades? Try millennia.
"Height: 21 inches.
The base represents a star to remind us that God created the universe. The secondary base houses a brass plate with the inscription, “Gish-Morris-Whitcomb Award” and “Contributions to Creation Science”
The stem is a 6 sided (hexagon) Each side depicts an engraving representing each day of creation.
The globe on top represents a water covered earth."
And these are the same people who bitch about obelisks.
"The winner for the year 2013 is Ray Comfort from Living Waters Ministry for directing his film, Evolution vs. God"
...which is what the host of this year's Razzies will be saying after reading out the nominations for the Worst Documentary category.
I bet the rating Ray Cumfart's 'film' receives from Rotten Tomatoes will be just as bad as that for "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed": 12% rotten (as opposed to, say... "Jesus Camp"'s 87% Fresh rating).
It will be awarded to a Creationist who has made outstanding contributions to making people less knowledgeable in science in a given year.
FIFY
And will such "contributions" will be determinated by the most ingenious use of sophisms and fallacies ?
Why it is almost as if that award was perfectly and intelligently designed to fit right up Comfort's rear window.
Although I will be dammed if I can figure out where he will pull his ideas out of with that absurd looking thing plugging it up...
Looks like something a kid slapped together, leaves itself open to ridicule and provides absolutely no benefit to anyone.
I can't think of a better symbol for creationism. Can you?
So in recognition of taking an approach to science and logic that amounts to shoving utterly indefensible junk up everyone else's asses you present a trophy that bears a striking resemblance to a crude, oversized dildo?
Really now, do you think there will be room for that with your head already stuck in there?
I just had a look at the movie's entry on IMDB. It runs all of 38 minutes and consists primarily of Comfort walking up to scientists and students on the street and demanding on-the-spot observable evidence for evolution. On the occasions that said persons are, in spite of Comfort's spontaneous ambushing, able to provide a response, the "interviews" are heavily edited.
It would take me all of three hours to pop over to university and whip up the exact same flick with my mobile. Where's my award?
Ray proudly displays his Propaganda Penis with his Crockaduck award.
Hey Ray, time for another vid, your Propaganda Penis award has several folds on it that match your hands for ease of use and a curve ball shape that fits into your mouth naturally, it's obvious to anyone that it was surely (but barely) designed.
oh boy does that looks shoddy.
onto the quote:
LOL at them awarding it to banana man, evolution vs god was so full of lies i could barely tell if there was any truth to it at all. holy balls, these people are didiots.

Maybe a bit unfair here though, award designs at best just all seem ill-concieved.
The FA Cup:

The ultimate prize in English football. Aesthetic beauty & tradition personified.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy:

Symbolising the solidity of not only the sport of American Football, but of it's namesake, Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi; his solidity, and progressive attitude to the sport (and of life itself, via his philosophy; example: 'Winners never quit, and quitters never win'). It's futuristic look represents how the NFL is forward-thinking, and of what American Football represents, especially to the rest of the world (those fast -selling regular season games in the UK's Wembley Stadium proves that).
That 'commissioned' by the Cre(a)ti(o)n Hall of Shame is the ultimate example of Un Intelligent Design.
"Yessir, it surely is a wooden dily-doh...whutuvit? I'm right prouda it. I done won it fur mah work on 'splainin' how GAWD made men out of clay an' such. It were one of them thar bio-chem-eee-kul whoozits. You know, processeses. That's the word, I reckon. Well, shitfire."

You poor guy
Personally, I'm delighted to discover that there is such a thing as the Creation Science Hall of Fame. I imagine that it's the passageway between the Creation Science Front Door of Incredulity and the Creation Science Kitchenette of Goddidit. It's exactly 6,000 inches long and contains all of the evidence against evolution that they refuse to share with the rest of us.*
