For those who do not know,the Dunning-Kruger Effect is a psychological effect where those of very low competence and knowledge of a subject think they know much because of their low competence. Basically, they don't know what they don't know because they know so little. Look it up on Wikipedia for more details.
Case in point:

This was a question posed to creationists about how all the animals would fit into Noah's Ark. Several responded that Noah's Ark was really big. With such a response they reveal that that know so little about biology to realize that even taking into account the supposed dimensions of the mythical ark, the number of animals would not fit by orders of magnitude.
Professional creationists know this; that is why they have concocted such absurdities as "superevolution within the barymins".
So it would seem that these people who are creationists don't even know much about creationism, let alone real biology. It seems to me that the entire enterprise is a black hole of incompetence, hence creationism is the Dunning-Kruger Effect writ large. Do you think so too?
Rockaday: according to 3 different dictionaries, I am using the phrase exactly as it should be used.

See, you don't even know enough to realize how wrong you are - that you are using a logical fallacy (argument from consequences) and that there are countless transitional fossils. Thanks for proving my point.
