The encyclopedia (http://americanloons.blogspot.com/) is an entertaining source on peculiarly American loons on all subjects, including the creationist and intelligent designer spotter luminaries.
Here are some of the entries, all continued at the links.
Stephen Meyer, http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=stephen+meyer
"Stephen C. Meyer is a philosopher and one of the hotshots of the Discovery Institute. And like some philosophers and all Discovery Institute people, he likes to make grand claims about scientific fields about which he must be counted as an illiterate."
Casey Luskin, http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=casey+luskin
"a.k.a. the Baghdad Bob of creationism
Casey Luskin is a lawyer (and not a scientist, although he seems to be a little confused about what such credentials do or don't mean) and one of the primary spokespeople for the Discovery Institute."
Michael Behe, http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=michael+Behe
"Our next loon, Michael Behe, is a prime example of what can happen when loonery disguises itself as real science. Behe is one of the most ardent and influential creationist out there"
Ann Gauger, http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=Ann+Gauger
"Gauger has a PhD in zoology and is a signatory of Discovery Institute’s 2005 petition “Scientific Dissent from Darwinism”. She’s currently associated with the Discovery affiliated creationist think-tank the Biologic Institute whose goal is to perform real research on ID and which has yet to produce a single publication supporting ID creationism despite big budgets and numerous employed “scientists”."
William Dembski, http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2010/11/103-william-bill-dembski.html
"Possibly the most influential and cited (though scarcely in peer reviewed publications – though he actually have a couple of those in mathematics) among America’s Intelligent Design creationists – and one of the most tireless, self-aggrandizing and seriously deluded."
And many more. Enjoy! :)
