I just went to the PU website. Founded 1979. Holy moly! My local podunk community colleges in my area (which actually provide excellent educations) were founded before then.
Wow! I never knew most doctorates (in both sciences and humanities) begin their introductions with their personal biographies.
1m10s Say no more after "Patriot" University. WTF? I'm gonna google that in 2 seconds to see if its real. If it is, that title alone tells you the kind of fanatical conservaturd agenda taught there.
Fucking HILARIOUSLY stupid. It's unbelievably, DISTURBINGLY stupid. Thanks a ton for putting this up mate, I've been looking forward to seeing this for a long time.
I have just started this series. I am looking forward to the trip. I wanted to do this from a layman POV . It does seem promising already. Glad I found you.
Hovind is a pathetic idiot and Patriot is a diploma mill recognized or accredited by no legitimate educational body. There's really nothing to prove after that. This is beating a dead retarded horse. Being too smug about such an obvious jackass really is shooting fish in a barrel.
From wikipedia: "Hovind's doctoral dissertation is evidence of the poor requirements at Patriot ... Hovind lacks knowledge of basic science....Hovind's dissertation is incomplete (it contains four chapters totaling 101 pages, but the introduction claims 250 pages with 16 chapters), of low academic quality, with poor writing, poor spelling, and poor grammatical style...asserts that pages are repeated, references are absent, and it is not an original work with original ideas.
What are you trying to prove. you have nothing to do with your life so you must live Kent Hovind's life, that's miserable. I don't know why Hovind shouldn't speak in a public about creation/evolution topic. He has right to speak about anything without any qualifications at all. He has actually acaemic qualification, he has a PhD. I bet that if he would argue with you about evolution, you'd totally lose as everyone lost. He's right, you're wrong, that's the whole issue, that's why you're mad.
@janto58 I don't understand what you mean. What "this" you read, i don't know if you mean that dissertation or my comment. I don't know what you want to say. Anyway, one man doesn't make whole nation stupid when that nation is stupid already.
To argue that your level of education on a subject...and therefore your qualification to be taken seriously on that subject is an ad hominum attack is pure fantasy...
A dissertation reviewed by one person...with misspellings, factual errors, no content page, no sources and with bad grammer and in theology...not paleontology or biology is worthless when commenting on evolution....
You wouldn't ask your dentist if he can fix your ipod would you? And a dentist has a phd! a real one!
"Doctor" Hovind? What a joke. Hovind's "PhD", as well as his "Master's Degree" came from Patriot University. Google "Patriot University", and see the Wiki article. There is a discussion there about Hovind's degree, too. Patriot U. is a trailer out in the sagebrush. No teachers, no classes, just a photocopier and a cashier. Hovind the scientist. Oh, hahahahaha!!!!
You could have stopped there. That alone proves his dissertation has no scientific value, except maybe if kept in an archive under "creationist fucktard".
Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity. As an engine of power, it serves the purpose of despotism, and as a means of wealth, the avarice of priests, but so far as respects the good of man in general it leads to nothing here or hereafter. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
OK I got through the first 38 pages (yeah I do have a headache) I love how he weaves the History of evolution back to Satan.
Also can someone please explain this Theistic belief that athiests are so they can have no morals? Saying there is no god doesn't make it so (just like saying there is one makes it so).
This is analogous to a man standing on the railroad tracks who thinks by saying there is no train, no train will come and hit him.
=This is analogous to a man standing on the railroad tracks who thinks by saying there is no train, no train will come and hit him.=
Except that in this case, nobody has ever seen an actual train pass over these particular tracks, in fact there are even questions as to whether or not there are any tracks. With the kind of proof there is for GOD its easy to conclude there is none.
The reverse of that questions is more telling. Atheists are good because they are good...they need a GOD to be good
Dude I fucking died. I know essays and theses and dissertations have introductions, but I never thought Kent really thought he should "introduce" himelf.
@paulchartley I'm from Florida also; ironically, anything South of the panhandle region is more like the upper midwest/northeast in terms of culture. We're like south of the South, at least where I live.
I started doing a vid like this - I ended up rambling off, I got 2 pages down and felt like I was being sucked into a vortex, but so far you have said everything I thought about INCL the blame it on his wifey!
LMAO
And that was the bit I went off on the tangent, he named his son after himslef. My dad did that to me - In fact the prick did it to my sister as well and when the song Jack, Jack, Jackie came out, all i wanted to do was punch that singer in the head!
Its probably most likely my diction that puts a pause in where I know it should not have one.
Kent Andrew is a strange name, certainly to be known by both your first and second name rather than Kent Jnr or just Kent or Andrew, It throws you off when you are reading it so it comes out as 4 not 3.
Kent's punctuation and paragraph structure is appalling and you can have so much fun with inferred meaning from it when you know full well he actually means something else
I think one of his kid's names is "Kent Andrew." At least, that's what his "dissertation" indicates. It's a bit difficult to tell because of his ambiguous grammar and punctuation.
Thank you for this Mr. Chartley. I could not stomach what you are doing right now. Far too painful. Your commentary, however, is making reviewing Hovind's garbage possible.
You have no idea just how hard it is to go through this crap.
Its like reading a school kids science essay. Its completely all over the place.
Stay tuned though, Episode three is on the way. I did expect it to be as boring as hell as it is in fact effectively a table of contents but there is a twist you would never expect.
Its encoding as I type and will be online in about 90 minutes
I can't believe you only have 20 subscribers...including me.
I'd be shocked if that number hasn't jumped up to several thousand by the end of the month...
I don't envy you the job, but I must agree with rnistuk - you make it bearable. I managed to read the first page and a half of his "dissertation" and then I had to go and have a shower to get rid of the stupid.
I had six subs this morning so I suspect you could be correct.
I have been on youtube for years but never made videos until a couple of months ago. I used to comb the comments sections on fundie channels spreading enlightenment and scientific reason - always being polite of course - to see how long it took them to disable comments or block me because my input differed from their world view.
I have 3 subs (NO idea why), but I haven't made a video in the whole time I've been a YouTube member. I'd embarrass myself if I tried.
I'm less polite from time to time I must admit...
I just get so frustrated when people can't accept a simple idea - like "You can't apply the principles of causality to the big bang, because "before the big bang" is meaningless."
Sometimes I really do feel sorry for our species. That we could even create this problem in the first place is simply astounding.
I have no idea how I've not seen this series yet...it's fucking awesome. :)
