I've said it for quite some time
YEC IS the biggest Conspiracy theory. It (and James Bond) defy at least 6 branches of science or Lie about/twist them.
Why creationism bears all the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory
An inevitable part of the internet age, some conspiracy theories appear and then fade, but in the US particularly, creationism seems firmly embedded in religion, education and pseudoscience.

Why Creationism bears all the hallmarks of a Conspiracy theory
February 4, 2021""Many people around the world looked on aghast as they witnessed the harm done by conspiracy theories such as QAnon and the myth of the stolen US election that led to the attack on the US Capitol Building on January 6. Yet while these ideas will no doubt fade in time, there is arguably a much more enduring conspiracy theory that also pervades America in the form of young Earth creationism. And it’s one that we cannot ignore because it is dangerously opposed to science....
Creationism re-emerged in this form in reaction to the mid-20th century emphasis on science education. Its key text is the long-time best seller, The Genesis Flood, by John C Whitcomb and Henry M Morris. This provided the inspiration for Morris’s own Institute for Creation Research, and for its offshoots, Answers in Genesis and Creation Ministries International.
Ken Ham, the founder and chief executive of Answers in Genesis, is also responsible for the highly lucrative Ark Encounter theme park and Creation Museum in Kentucky. As a visit to any of these websites will show, their creationism is completely hostile to science, while paradoxically claiming to be scientific.
Demonising and discrediting
These are Common Conspiracy theory tactics at play. Creationists go to great lengths to Demonise the proponents of evolution, and to undermine the overwhelming evidence in its favour.[.....]

Why just last night James Bond accused ME and Scientific American of "Bestiality."
