(Kent Hovind) Creation Seminar 1 - Age of the Earth Part 16

[RJL738]

It is essentually the responsibility of every sentient being to not olny make their life productive and be efficent but to msot importantly find out what is the truth even the truth of where everything came from. Our society has advanced by us not ebing satisfied by what makes things work it is an all too humans need to find out what makes something tick and how to applie it to life.

[RJL738]

Metaphysicaly we don't know if we will be alive the nest few seconds although that is a whole feild of probibility, this is true even from a secular standpoint let alone eternity we should make the most of not only our time hear on Earth but of the next few years, we just don't know what could happen. This is something we should all live by.

[RJL738]

It is an ironic fact that even if 90% of the human population was exterminated total it would take a few centuries at most for humans to repopulate themselve back up to their former self. You would actually need a minimum of 3 to 4 thousand or so individuals all or most within reproductive age with at least some representation of each ethnicty half and half male/female with no firtility inhibitions to repopulate the entire humans species, assuming they are all enar each other.

[jasa159]

i have watched this whole video ................... I find it very dumb. what if Evolution is the way of how. Maybe God used evolution to turn us into what we are.

One question ok it said in the bible Adam & Eve had sons and there sons brought up wives. Ok where did the wives come from. Dont say Adam and Eve had daughters because then thats incest. Isnt that unholy too.

[spidertraceur15]

About 1000 years ago, scientists knew that the earth was at the center of the galaxy. About 600 years ago, scientists knew that the earth was flat.

About 500 years ago, scientists knew that bigger rocks fell faster than smaller rocks.

Today people believe that that they came from apes.

Scientists don't know shit.

[gregrutz]

@spidertraceur15 Scientist know a lot more than you think. They know we are apes, DNA proves it. Any high school kid can prove kent is lying about science.

[gregrutz]

@spidertraceur15 The men who wrote the bible though the earth was flat and the center of the universe. Science has corrected the mistakes.

Humans are Apes.

[gregrutz]

@spidertraceur15 2000 years ago the men who wrote the bible thought the earth was the center of everything, the first scientist Galileo proved them wrong. That is not going to change.

Isaiah 40 : 22-24

“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers.”

The bible says the earth is flat, circles are flat, I can draw one on a flat piece of paper. Wrong again.

Today DNA shows we are Apes, that is not going to change either.

[djfantom205]

@spidertraceur15 Science is parallel to creation. The bible even talks about how Jesus used science himself.

I think the problem today is not science, but what scientists CALL science. There is a fine line between science and scientific theory. For years scientists have been trying to push they're theory(s) over this line and call it science. One possible reason why may be that scientists who make so-called "major discoveries" get a pretty pay check and a remediable title throughout history...

[spurnthemuse]

Jesus died for the sins of the children of Israel, which means of Jacob. He was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. House of Israel is the priesthood to the other nations, or bloodlines. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[gregrutz]

@spurnthemuse Israel? What about the rest of the world? And other peoples religious stories.

[spurnthemuse]

@rationalanarchy You goin to chide someone for answerin a question, that he was asked? Sounds like your mind is in another conversation, and pretendin to be in this one.  SPURN THE MUSE!!

[spurnthemuse]

I am grateful for, and appreciate the scientific facts. I am on 3rd listenin to this series, and the other series of videos.

Another matter:  When Kent prays, its seems as though he's doin it for the audience; I mean he keeps tellin God thins that God already knows, as though he's not really talkin to God, but to the audience. If you're talkin to God, talk to God. If you're talkin to the audience, talk to the audience. Don't pretend to do one, while doin the other. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[gregrutz]

@spurnthemuse Try searching kent hovind debunked to see how he lies about evolution and dinosaurs.

[crazybuttful]

@gregrutz you are a liar i don't care how many lies you say, the truth always wins and that bothers you doesn't it?

[gregrutz]

@crazybuttful Science is a liar? No, Kent is a liar, he is in jail for lying about his taxes.

Kent lies when he says the earth is 6000 years old. Chinese history goes back that far and they didn't all die in a flood.

[gregrutz]

@crazybuttful The truth is evolution is studied in every major university. The truth is evolution has been accepted as happening.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

Someone said "I wish Carl Sagan would come back to life and kill this man!"

FOR WHAT?!

For legitimately introducing people to evidence that they are never shown in pro-New World Order schools?!

[andy16666]

How is it possible that this guy doesn't understand the meaning of death? It means you stop living. Why would you waste your life thinking about what's going to happen to you when you're dead?

[rmaynard626]

@andy16666 Because we (Christians) follow the Bible, which is the Word of God. The Bible clearly states that our (Christians) treasures are stored in heaven. Our redemption (who is Chist Jesus our Lord), will receive their recompense in full. We believe that this life is not the life that we look forward to, even though this life is a blessing, but the life to come.

[rmaynard626]

Awesome teaching!!!! We as Christians need to work harder for the Lord. I thank you Lord God, for Kent Hovind's ministry, as he dispells the works of satan, and his lies, by using the Word of God.

[Drregaleagle]

@rmaynard626,

He doesn't use the Word of God! He uses the words of scientists.

You cannot scientifically corroborate the Bible!

1 Timothy 6:20:

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

[gregrutz]

@Drregaleagle

You mean he mis-uses the words of scientists.  He lies!

[gregrutz]

@rmaynard626

And that is why he got the first Golden Crocoduck Award !

His friend Ray won the second year.

[obdami]

You're a fucktard, aren't you Kent?

[DickGhostmoon]

Free Kent Hovind!

[gregrutz]

@DickGhostmoon

HA HA HA your lying hero is in jail.

[walter0bz]

i agree with the depopulation chart - we need to restrict to 2billion max

[NegativeBeef]

We can depopulate the world by getting rid of all the creatards.

[Gorteenminogue]

Not even 10 seconds in andI'm yawning. Where will I go when I die? Well, if he means the thinking part of me, I won't go anywhere. The hint is in the question: I'll be dead. Can't go anywhere. Snuffed it. Shuffled off this mortal coil. Ceased to be!

If he means the bodily part of me, who cares?

[ghanamuscle2000]

Have you considered, 1Bryan, that Rubixxcube et al. (including me) are refuting the crap which Hoving spouts not because we secretly believe in an Iron Age version of Christianity, but rather because we do not wish anti-intellectual, anti-Enlightenment, irrational, and viciously authoritarian religious fundamentalism (of any religion, not just Christianity) from dragging our civilisation back into the Dark Ages? We do this to avoid medieval faith-based totalitarianism from ever returning again.

[negsurbansports1234]

ha thats funny cause the only athiest im a friend with is a strong believer in totalitarianism. Ya there are poeple who beleive tons of different things in any religion like Athiesm (yes its a religion)

[ghanamuscle2000]

@negsurbansports1234 - So your entire perception of the atheist philosophy is determined by ONE friend? Take a look at your logic. "I know one atheist who is totalitarian, therefore all atheists are totalitarian". Interesting conclusion. Well, let me try one. I have a Christian friend who is a strong advocate of minimum wage, universal healthcare, and demilitarisation. Therefore, by the same logic, all Christians are card-carrying commies. Now do you still adhere to that logic?

[Darverses]

He didn't say that... he said there are people in all religions who have different philosophies.

[geodashamayim]

Believe God FIRST until you have another infallibable truth.

[rubixxcube]

apparently god didnt work on his tax evasion...

[rubixxcube]

all he is doing is scare tatics!!!!

[NoneBeforeNoneAfter]

Why would you want to take from your friend there FREE WILL? Would you take a beer out of there hand and say I dont want youto have that? I really believe that if God gave them 10,000 more years there Free Will would remain the same choice. I dont thenk God would take them where they really never want to be. So Jesus says Come unto me. THey say NO I am not ready. Sooner or later Judgment comes GOD knows what they have chose and what they would choose if they lived longer.

[Trzcinka77]

Ok small question to Christians, asume you go to Heaven to live in eternal happiness, how will you feel knowing your loving person family/partner is in hell ?

[renewd1966]

Not good at all, no rejoicing over someones agony for sure! But, we are all, each one of us, given free choice. Just like I can choose to stop, or not to stop, at a stop sign. And if I choose not...guess what, the penalty not nice probably. And would I like that as a family member of someone who didn't stop. No, bad choice indeed.

[dirtydkb24fan]

You wouldn't know. You wouldn't think about it. There is no sorrow in Heaven.

[Acuraintegraman1]

The Bible says there will be no sorrow in heaven and God will wipe away every tear.

[donkostagrk]

there is a different state of being and living in haven. the Bible teaches that there wont be any sorrow in haven, no cry, no pain. so i assume, and i might be wrong, that by somehow (and that somehow i am pretty positive is Gods love and grace on us) we wont know about those friends/family. they will be forgoten i think

[ShrapnelSong]

What kind of god sends to burn in eternal agony for not religously sucking him off?

[akkafietje]

Shrap..If you have complains to your creator, you will really get the chance to tell Him

[ShrapnelSong]

Do you promise to infinitely burn YOUR children if they dont worship you? And why would a perfect being create people for any reason? If its perfect then people are clearly unnecessary. And it seems like a perfect being wouldnt do unnecessary things.

[akkafietje]

shrap..Do you promise to infinitely burn YOUR children if they dont worship you?

?? people will never worship man, but God. God did not need people, He made them to love them. He did not create robots, but beings with a own "will".

So they were able to love, or to hate their creator

[ShrapnelSong]

I would be much more willing to love my supposed Creator if it wasnt an obligatory thing. If He wasnt going to burn people in Hell for not doing it, Im sure a lot more people would be willing to. God forbid that a Creator should set some sort of example.

[akkafietje]

Shrap..Christians do not love there creator because other wise they go to hell. About hell is seldom spoken in Christian groups

I love my creator because I am thankful for my life and His blessings to me.

Additional I am great full to Him that He promised me a resurrection.

Now I have a purpose in life : love God and my neighbors

[ShrapnelSong]

So you loved God in the first place for the blessings he given you, and protection from eternal agonizing Hellfire didnt factor into that decision? It seems that a Creator wouldnt focus all the attention on Himself, and that his creations would have some sort of value, which is negligable, because he tosses them in Hell for not worshiping Him. Why would an non worshiper deserve the same punishment as say, a rapist? It seems a little odd. Maybe not worshiping is as evil as forced sex. Hm?

[akkafietje]

Shrap.. Exact, I hope you can compare it with your parents as a kid, you are grateful to them, and love them.

The reason of being not to naughty is not to prevent a punishment. (but I don't know exactly the relation ship between parents and children in a atheistic family)

If you ever have been in a church, you will observe that very very seldom the sermon is concerning hell.

It is a place far away from God, thats probably what you like

[ShrapnelSong]

Except that parents dont pick a possibly random point in their childs life to decide if they will be eternally punished or rewarded, depending entirely on their status at that time. Whereas God will off people at certain points in there lives and depending on their Yahweh worship status at that time, will either be eternally rewarded or tortured. How do Christians feel looking around them and thinking that the vast majority of those people will eventually be burning in eternal agony?

[akkafietje]

Shrap.. If you construct some thing for example a robot, and it does not work the way you design it. You will modify it several times, but finally it arrives the dirt container.

Humans get around 70-80 years the chance to act to their design.

Christians are feeling very sorry for the nonbelievers, and try their best to correct them, special it it are nice guys.

But finally it's every bodies own choice to accept Him or not

[ShrapnelSong]

Except that robots dont have free will, a choice based on free will isnt something God should want to modify for His own selfish reasons, and being deactivated and thrown away is NOTHING like burning in eternal, agonizing Hellfire. Would you like take another shot at forming a coherrant argument?

[akkafietje]

Shrap..Some text say hell is a lake of fire, other its a place of darkness.

Fire gives light so it sounds contra version.

Any way it is a (terrible) place far away from God.

That is what some people choose

[ShrapnelSong]

Except for the fact that that doesnt explain WHY God needs to torture people who dont worship him, then you're doing just fine at defending your beliefs.

[akkafietje]

shrap..I guess that what you call "torture" , is to be far away from God in a terrible place

Or do you expect that God allows souls in his heaven who ignore or hate Him, during the earthly "test".

[ShrapnelSong]

That sounds perfectly reasonable. I was just thinking about the last time I damned someone who ignored or hated me. Wait, aw crap, that never happened. Come to think of it, I dont think I know anyone who sends people off to be tormented for ignoring or hating him. Ok, maybe a few psychotic dictators, but we cant compare Yahweh to them now can we?

[akkafietje]

Shrap.. any way I am glad that you think about it. Who knows in futures you will love your creator to, and get a purpose in your life

[akkafietje]

Kent is correct, but there is no body innocent even not in Heroshima

[BohemianBlasphemy]

How about the unborn fetuses?

[akkafietje]

Boh..Since when are atheists concerned about unborn fetuses ??

Even human has no value for evolutionists, it's only a coincidentally product of time !!

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Human life is precious. You have a very strange idea about atheists.

But you are avoiding the point: You said "no body innocent even not in Heroshima". That includes the unborn fetuses that died on the nuclear attack?

[akkafietje]

Boh ..The parents are responsible for the (unborn) children. If the parents are atheists, also the fetuses will not be saved. They inhered the sin of the parents.

Like the millions of fetuses who have been aborted, during the last generation.

[akkafietje]

Boh.. Atheists are the inventors of abortion

I can easily imagine, if I was a evolutionist (atheist), I would do the same.

First place how do you distinguish animals from humans ??

If there are thousands of links between animal and human.

If you believe that the only purpose of life is : multiply and die, why should you pay so much attention to a living being

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Are you saying that you would abort every fetus on the womb of atheist women?

[akkafietje]

Boh.. As I already said: your fantasy is unlimited ! Christians do not commit abortion, we are even learned to love our enemies

[BohemianBlasphemy]

"Christians do not commit abortion"

And when Christian soldiers bomb cities and kill civilians?

Pregnant women don't die during the attacks?

[chachee99]

According to Hovind there is a chance that Hitler can be in Heaven just because he got on his knees and beg for forgiveness. Where an innocent good hearted person who was bombed in Heroshima has to burn in hell.

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

Get it straight. If Hitler truthfully asked Jesus to forgive him and believed that Jesus died for our sins and was risen then Hitler or anyone else would go to heaven. You cannot just beg for it. You have to believe it in your heart. As for Hiroshima the same goes. Most of the people bombed in the two cities were actually Christian. As for Buddhists there is no hope to believe in dogma and works instead of truth. These are the descendants of people who denied God and carry that burden.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

You guys know this guy is a con artist and a charlatan, right?

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

Why? Because he stood up against the thieves known as the IRS. We all should stand up against them. Are you happy being a slave? Do you think your really free? Kent Hovind is a great man that should be honored not ridiculed.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Well, partially. But also, he claims to have dedicated 15 years of his life to teach high school science, and that is false. He claims to be a doctor, and that is false.

He can't even say his own name without lying: "DR" Kent Hovind! lol. Even on the telephone book he listed himself as "Dr Kent Hovind", and not even real doctors do that.

He knows NOTHING about science, he lies about his credentials and his life. A total charlatan.

[akkafietje]

Boh.. in all your comments, you are attacking persons and the bible.

Are you not capable to defend that theory of evolution. show links between cats and dogs, dino's and birds. Animals with 1 eye or 4 eye's, or 3 legs !!!

[BohemianBlasphemy]

"Are you not capable to defend that theory of evolution. show links between cats and dogs, dino's and birds. Animals with 1 eye or 4 eye's, or 3 legs !!!"

Links between cats and dogs?

Animals with 1 eye or 4 eye's, or 3 legs?

The fact that you think those are appropriate questions shows that you know nothing about evolution or biology. The theory of evolution doesn't require such findings.

"dino's and birds"

On the other hand, dinosaurs to birds are required. Here's a good one: Archaeopteryx.

[akkafietje]

Boh The theory of evolution doesn't require such findings.

I knew, as long as the "scientifics" it believe it already o.k. they are payed for it.

As long we don't have to believe in a creator, every theory is acceptable

Archaeopteryx is a bird. Show me a link between dino's and "archaep..

[jemaries77]

l think there is great info against certain theories. I think there is too much faith in science. But it bothers me that this guy doesn't seem to realize that the bible was not written by god. I wonder if he realizes that the New Testament was created by selecting gosspels that only implied the Jesus was divine and that it happened hundreds of years after the crucifixtion.

People, do you really think we'd need a Satan to blame for the negatives if we didn't have a God to feel let down by?

[klank67]

Im so glad this retard is in jail ..... I hope they don't ever let him out.

[Joshua040103]

Are there any actual scientist that look at this page who are in any real position to make any solid statements about evolution?

[Joshua040103]

Seriously, someone tell me how we got living material out of dead material, animate out of inanimate, What evolved first, the immune system, the respritory system, or the reproductive system? Not all could have happened at once through evolution, nor can any living thing survive without all of these systems.

[klank67]

The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins will clear up some of your questions

[revan235]

do u know any site where i can get it?

[klank67]

what are you looking for exactly?

[revan235]

"klank67 (2 months ago) Show Hide

The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins will clear up some of your questions"

sry for not being clear xD

Im looking for "the Blind Watchmaker" im guessing its a book from richard dawkins but i dont have any library near me or money so i hope theres a site where i can read it

[klank67]

Im not sure it will be available online or not to be honest. Here's a few titles to search out by Dawkins that you might find: The God Delusion, Unweaving a Rainbow, Selfish Gene. They all have a common theme and will shed some light on this subject.

Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Dan Dennett are all equally good in case they're more available than Dawkins.

Cheers and good reading

[Mongoelg]

A retarded 5 year old with google at his disposal could make a more coherent scientific pesentation than this ass clown of epic proportions, in fact, he would be more of an "actual scientist" than Kent Hovind.

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

Shows how little you know. Are you 5 or are you just an ass clown?  Wake up. The truth is staring you right in the face. Hovind has hit the nail on the head.

[ninjabob42]

There is no truth to anything he said

Show me any actual evidence of anything that he said

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

The evidence is quite simple. There is no evidence for proving God or evolution. That fact in itself should cause anyone to question why evolution is being so aggressively taught. We Christians use the word of God to give us direction in our lives. Evolutionist use evolutionary theory to try and prove evolution. The other point of evidence that I would point out is this. Gods word has not changed. Evolution is constantly changing. The bible has not been proven wrong. Evolution has.

[infowarrior007]

will you make up your damn mind about evolution or creation?you said there is no evidence for both you must be on drugs you can't have it both ways wake get a life. and don some research. dumb ass.

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

How am I suppose to prove to you that God exists? All I can say is that you already know God exists in your heart. You are the only one who can prove that to yourself. I cannot do that for you. As for evolution. It cannot be proven to either yourself or others. It is a simple fact that there is no evidence for evolution whatsoever. If you don't like that then I guess you need to move on. I know that you are no match for what I understand about this world just by reading your ignorant comment.

[stalwartatheist]

"It is a simple fact that there is no evidence for evolution whatsoever"

That's not a simple fact at all. It's simple falsehood. There is plenty of evidence. You people really need to stop lying about this. I realise it presents difficulties with your religious beliefs, but saying there's no evidence for evolution is simply ignorant.

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

Get real. There is no evidence for evolution. There is evidence however that what is written in the bible is not only historically accurate but what is written about our future is becoming accurate as each day goes by. Evolution is a lie. God is the truth. I think you better wake up and smell the coffee because what you believe is a joke compared to what Jesus teaches us about this world we live in. If you don't like that then that is your problem.

[stalwartatheist]

"Evolution is a lie. God is the truth"

Ok. Whatever makes you happy.

[ofreshartist]

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt,they have done adminable works,there is none that doeth good. -Psalm 14:1

[Subher0]

Man would I like to debate him, me on the side of evolution, about that million dollars in court and then let the judge decide the winner... boy I'd be a rich man...

[thecommonsenseguy]

If anyone here is honestly interested in what science has to say about an old earth, i can tell snyone first hand why this planet is old and why there was no great flood, this is a take it or leave it opportunity. There is a reason 99% of scientists believe in an old earth, if you honestly are curious why, just send me a private message and ill give you information im sure you never considerred or even knew existed. I can tell you all you need to know and more, that is all.

[bigjerre]

This guy is really smart; it's a shame that he's in prison right now... ten years for tax fraud (if I'm not mistaken). This guy deserves a second chance...

[kDest]

"This guy is really smart; it's a shame that he's in prison right now... ten years for tax fraud (if I'm not mistaken). This guy deserves a second chance..."

I say good riddens. He does nothing to prove his case, and makes the most absurd and overtly false claims. He's poisoning minds that are too ignorant to know better.

[bigjerre]

"I say good riddens. He does nothing to prove his case, and makes the most absurd and overtly false claims. He's poisoning minds that are too ignorant to know better"

See, I can quote somebody excessively and make quick one-liners, too.

[k87jury]

I have watched this guys video and he is beyond stupid. He is a conspiracy nut that rants about the Loch Ness monster and tries to use that to prove the bible. Oh and by the way, when are you going to take me up on that challenge.

[hcatbu]

There is NO evidence that anything happens when we die.

[meinaim]

well, no there´s not. But how about the other way round?

IF you want to get to know God honestly, he promised to reveal himself, ASK him ith honesty in your heart, pray and tell him about what moves you and he WILL SURELY answer. HE wants YOU.

[zigzagzoo12]

Excellent presentation and set of facts. If only evolutionists had this kind of evidence, they may win me back. haha

[wiinux]

haha. i wish atheists would do something like this... i'd really be interested to watch something like that...

[kDest]

"Excellent presentation and set of facts. If only evolutionists had this kind of evidence, they may win me back. haha"

You mean like genetics, fossil records, protein clock theory, radioisotope dating, DNA sequencing, comparative anatomy, cellular anatomy?

Take a biology course, then say the same thing with a straight face.

[zigzagzoo12]

Take a biology course? Are you a moron? First of all, radioisotope dating, fossil records and comparative anatomy are not taught in biology. Second, I took college level biology, geology and anatomy--all taught by evolutionists! Not to mention the non-science courses taught by Atheists/evolutions—yes they preach in other courses as well. Do you want to talk logical now or do you want to continue looking stupid with your derogatory remarks?

[kDest]

"First of all, radioisotope dating, fossil records and comparative anatomy are not taught in biology."

Wrong. The course I took had both and they were important parts of evolution.

"Second, I took college level biology geology and anatomy-all taught by evolutionists!"

I can wager you flunked them. Only an fool uses words like "evolutionists" seriously. It is as ignorant as calling a physicist a "gravitationalist."

"yes they preach in other courses as well."

They aren't religions. Try again.

[kDest]

[zigzagzoo12]

"I can wager you flunked them. Only an fool uses words like "evolutionists" seriously. It is as ignorant as calling a physicist a "gravitationalist.""

Sure, be an idiot and let's wager...how about a million dollars? You give evolution more credit than you should hence it's a religion for you. Not all biologists believe in evolution; however, all physicists believe in gravity. Period. Now, get lost!

[kDest]

"Sure, be an idiot and let's wager...how about a million dollars? You give evolution more credit than you should hence it's a religion for you."

Here we go, you make a typical definition error. A religion is not something you adhere to based solely on evidence. A religion is a belief in the supernatural, or something unprovable, usually involving a god, hence it is a "faith."

I can test evolution, and see evidence of it daily. No "faith" for me.

[artem1002]

pls PLS show me one single shred of proof for evolution, there is none, zero, nada....and if u go back to the fossil records or the rock layers u might wanna check again, because they are not millions of years old...and a religion is something u believe in, not something u have proof of, u believe that evolution happened, u have no proof, therefore, it's a religion

[kDest]

You don't know what you're talking about. Proof is mathematical and logical only, it doesn't apply to the observable, like science. Religion is unquestioned dogma that involves the supernatural and ritual. Evolution is observable fact and testable theory.

Before you try and refute that, I want to point out that a leading creationist, Ken Ham, of answers in genesis has stated on his website that any observation that contradicts the bible is wrong.

You are getting your views from people like that.

[sdmf1982]

It makes me laugh that Hovind labels himself a scientist yet consistantly fails to provide any empirical evidence about his theories. Faith cannot support any scientific theory yet he always comes back to "it's written in the bible, therefore true." What evidence is this opinion based on? There have been several different translations of the bible over time with NO way to verify the veracity of ANY of it!!!! LOL. To have this as the backbone of a scientific theory is beyond laughable :)

[S0vereignty]

artem is obviously a prepubescent mental asylum patient.

[k87jury]

Humans still contain the gene to lay eggs from a reptilian ancestor. We also have genetic proof as well. We have all the evidence.

[1badfokker]

Where is this evidence?

[k87jury]

Video I made about it and the link to the article.

watch?v=pxnzN_u_OP0

[kDest]

"Not all biologists believe in evolution;"

Wrong again. Evolution is uncontested by biologists because it links everything in biology, and is not contradictory with what can be observed. It is used daily in taxonomy, medicine, and even aircraft design. Only rogue scientists, a handful compared to hundreds of thousands, question it, and usually because they're paid off or religious.

[EnigmaHood]

Yea, if a biologist doesn't accept evolution, then he isn't a biologist.

[spurnthemuse]

@EnigmaHood You have no scientific proof of that statement. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[EnigmaHood]

@spurnthemuse You're an idiot.

[Soupthemighty]

"Excellent presentation and set of facts. If only evolutionists had this kind of evidence, they may win me back."

You mean if we spouted nonsense like Hovind does here? Seriously, I don't think I could preach anything even remotely as stupid as his water canopy not-theory

Hovind uses charisma to convince the weak minded that nonsense is reality. Apparently it has worked on you.

[Wububub]

Even though the possibilities are a billion to one, when taken into consideration that there are in fact hundreds of billions of planets, the possibility of perfect conditions is likely on at least one of them. As far as we know there could be hundreds of other planets that have conditions that are almost, but not quite perfect. Even so, the chance that Someone created those perfect conditions for a reason remains.

[DaveJonesBSNews]

He didn't give any good arguements. If the bible contradicts science, then the bible needs to be updated becusae it is wrong.

This guy is either an idiot or a liar.

[robecva]

You either had the sound tured down when you watched or you simply didn't pay any attention to him. Who here is closed minded?

[DaveJonesBSNews]

I had the sound turned up loud enough to hear lie after lie. Kent has been called on most of these, yet still spreads them. That makes him a willing liar.

I'm not closed minded by the way. I place value on evidence. Kent and the bible have very little evidence.

[Wububub]

Science and religion are independent from each other for a reason.

[pelagic6]

Actually, religion has had the explanation for science for millenia, and God is the master scientist.

[paologeminiani]

So you call rational the argument that life came about to be because somehow ,somewhere the necessary components happened to be at the right time in the right place under the perfect climatical circustances and "OHPS HERE IS LIFE" That´s rational? I don´t care who says it and how many doctorates he might have, If a thing can´t be proved and goes against the second law of thermodynamic is still illogigal.

[Cupit29]

If you actually took the time to study and understand evolution you'd realize how stupid you sound when you say that. Life didn't simply APPEAR out of nothing. There were conditions. Perfect conditions.

[Cupit29]

Please, please get out of your bible belt mentality and start thinking for yourself. I understand that this is difficult for someone scared to be punished for all eternity. Genius. It really is.

[Cupit29]

A perfectly ingenius fail-safe to completely block free thought and the independance your ancestors fought so hard for.

[robecva]

Perfect conditions? By coincidence? I'm sorry but you really have been brainwashed.

[DaveJonesBSNews]

It's incredably probable. Take the number of billions of planets. More than just one are going to be in the Goldilocks zone. We live on one, and it's very probable that there will be other planets in the Goldilocks zone that have life.

[Wububub]

Exactly!! If those perfect conditions hadn't applied, life wouldn't have been born. They came to apply here, nowhere else.

[Cupit29]

"They came to apply here, nowhere else." How do you know that?

[Wububub]

Touché. I meant of course that OUR conditions came to apply here. There is the possibility of life on other planets which I personally don't believe myself.

[Chaffinch4]

An unqualified teacher from a hick town in the USA; with a bogus doctorate and 10 year jail sentence ... taking on 200 years of history and the world's scientists. He believes the Universe is 6000 years old. That t-rex was a vegetarian living alongside man, the Loch Ness monster, dragons and giants. Also that Noah's wooden ark contained 2 of every creature (inc the dinos) and survived a global flood. Good luck Kent mate, you'll need it!!

[Joshua271987]

If you would like to see how well Kent Hovind stands against Evolution I recommend watching his debate series.

[Chaffinch4]

I might just do that ... but I'll be expecting rational, scientific arguments.

[robecva]

That's all the man has done. What is your definition empirical, rational, scientific arguments?

[DeadSeaPedestrians]

As a precursor to the video I think it's only right to point out that Mr Hovind is doing 10yrs in the pen for tax ivasion

[roxas2092]

no ones perfect.
