Which is the stupidest thing to deny?

Which of those three things, in your opinion, is the stupidest one to try and deny?

There's a couple ways to look at it.

The Holocaust has actual documentation, living survivors, etc, that prove it happened. To deny it would be ridiculous.

Denying evolution has an impact on how our kids are educated, which has a big impact on our society.

Denying global warming has a direct impact on our planet.

Global Warming is certainly the most dangerous to deny.

The Holocaust. With irrefutable evidence, denying it is comparable to thinking the Earth is still flat. (InB4TheFlatEarthSociety). It may not change the fact that it happened by denying it, but is usually associated to anti-semitism which is detrimental to today's Jews.

Denying Global Warming is a bit of a more difficult thing to say. While humans' activity has certainly risen it over the last 250 years, on a Geological timescale it has been increasing for a long time, and falls again at regular cycles (currently we are at the top of the warming cycle, so soon there will be global cooling, though it's effects may be less compared to previous cycles). I'd say it's arguable to say it's totally human-created, but it is downright retarded to say it isn't happening at all.

Denying evolution doesn't change anything. Whether someone believes it or not, the process will still happen regardless over the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of years it takes.

At this point global warming, considering it takes the most basic of basic levels of science to understand, as well as it being a serious detriment to the planet.

Evolution, then the holocaust, then global warming.

It's the stupidest to deny the Holocaust, because of the mountains of evidence.

Then I would say it's Evolution, followed by Global warming.

However in terms of the damage caused by denial, it's goes Global Warming (Fucking up the planet's future), the Holocaust (Neo-Nazis) and then Evolution because it will happen whether you want it to or not.
