How about an award for most thoroughly accusing our theory with having the fatal flaws in their "hypothesis"? I know this could come under "projection", but there is something about calling evolution a "fairy tale" or a "religion", or saying that we just believe that "evolution did it" that seems (to me) to call for a separate category.
UD has vast tracts of stupid posts trying to claim that evolution is what "takes faith", or that believes in "miracles". Again, yes, it's projection, but it's projection of a particular kind, one that depends upon their misconceptions of the world in order to misunderstand a good model of the world, evolution. And what is really weird is that they (most of them--probably all in unguarded moments) explicitly state that they believe in miracles and in the Biblical fairy tales (well, a few might genuinely not believe the Bible fairy tales, but most at UD do).
So we need an award category that recognizes how they misconstrue evolution to be a religion, and how they fault it for being like their own religion(s). After all, the real problem for them has always been that evolution competes with their myths, and unfortunately for them, it does not require faith (though they strenuously assert that it does).
I do like how they fault their own mode of "reasoning" whenever it is projected onto us.
