Confronting Creationism 3 - Eric Hovind's "How Old Is The Earth"

[paramattic70]

I'm sorry creationists, there is no debate or battle between creation vs evolution. It's reasonable people presenting overwhelming and undeniable evidence vs people with no common sense who refuse to look at evidence. Creationists will never ever ever answer simple questions. They change the subject and completely ignore what they were just asked.

[paramattic70]

I've learned to avoid a shit flinging contest with believers. Creation and ID has zero scientific basis. No respectable university would or does support this nonsense. There is no skeptical peer review. There are no geologists or archeologists working in the field to prove ID. would the Discovery Institute be up for a debate at Harvard, Oxford, or MIT? Nope. Believers lack the understanding of basic principles of science. At this point I just say Wake up! Or a polite Fuck off will suffice.

[KeySour]

Please part 4 haha

[XxC0NDEMNEDxX]

I'm glad there are others like you who can expose this creationist retard and his huge logical errors. All he does is look for things that seem to be in favor of his delusion and he skips the rest of the material that completely contradicts his beliefs. I don't even think he realizes that a 6,000-year-old universe is a huge problem for the fact that it's much larger than 6,000 light years. Light from Andromeda takes 2 million years to reach us. 6,000 years my ass. He's full of shit.

[myndwork]

dude you nailed it. keep it up.

[MrSomeloser]

@AtheistAussie, well at least you make me lol, or are you going to tell me thats not a word either? its like watching something sooooo terrible and completely wrong, and your soooo good at it! congrats!! your so adorable, like a 5 sec clip some 5 year old would make just so he could be on youtube. i could tell you your so wrong over and over and you really have nothing to say, you would be great at debates!! haha, or maybe an English teacher, you seem to get that. and ya, you go GIRL. idiot

[AtheistAussie]

@MrSomeloser Here's a challenge for you - pick one part of the video and tell me why I am wrong. Make sure you back your claim up with scientific, preferably peer reviewed papers or articles published in recognised journals. Otherwise, feel free to continue trolling. kthxbai.

[MrSomeloser]

@AtheistAussie .... thats just the thing, i came to this page to learn and find info, not to see how completely stupid someone is that mainly uses wiki for all his research.... i dont need to justify for you being completely wrong.... how about you take on your own challenge... ppl seem to like your stupidity tho and that works for some ppl so have fun looking like a child :)

[AtheistAussie]

@MrSomeloser Just for the record, when you were asked for evidence you fail to produce any to support your position. Thanks, I'm done here :)

[MrSomeloser]

@AtheistAussie haha, your so silly... i love it when little children like yourself try soooo hard to look so dumb, your really good at it.. bye bye ;)

[TheChurchOfKali12357]

@MrSomeloser Fool: "You're."

[ultim4t32]

@AtheistAussie SCHOOLED!!! I love that response... "I don't need to justify for you being completely wrong". Classic.

[ultim4t32]

@MrSomeloser Your name seems to be quite accurate. What do scientists know anyway?

[MrSomeloser]

@AtheistAussie .... haha and i enjoy how my typo is how you defend yourself about being wrong.... you should really find something you enjoy and youtube about that rather than hate on someone who's obvi way more intelligent. this way when ppl click on the vid they dont feel so embarrassed for you..... or you can keep using wiki links to "prove" facts and still get views cuz, hey, everyone loves watching fools on youtube.....

[AtheistAussie]

@MrSomeloser .and I enjoy how you try to minimise your error in understanding by calling something a typographical error when it wasn't. By the way, there are links to other sites there other than Wiki, and there is no such word as 'cuz'. Tell it girlfriend uh .. uh.

[MrSomeloser]

lol i love how you use wiki and go with other non scientific facts about random stuff that proof Eric knows what he is talking about.... thanks lol

[AtheistAussie]

@MrSomeloser ..and I love how you confuse the words 'proof' and 'prove'.

[axolotl5]

Well done debunking creationist superstitions!

[Cootabux]

A very efficient job of demolishing Eric's absurd claims. It's unfortunate that some people are willing to lie and deceive their fellow believers, all in the name of religion...and money! (Too often the same thing).

As far as I can tell, tree rings samples and analysis goes back 1,500 years, and none indicate any flood disturbance, not to mention that a number of cultures lived, undisturbed, through the period of the claimed Flood.

Obviously, the truth means little, if anything, to Creationists.

[JTlovesDexter2]

Eric is proof that the turd doesn't fall far from the anus.

[OukaKisa]

NOT A CREATIONIST: Creationists believe that tree rings can have multiples per year and the "evolutionists" can't (or don't want to) admit that they can't tell that there are multiples.

Interesting... usually creationists I talk to do their math for earths population forgetting that people can die o.O

[Hillsillverr]

Earth is 4.500.000.000 years old, megaliothic monuments all around the world out date the arrival of humans!

There have been human footprints found side by side dinos!

What do we fucking know about anything!? Not much..

[Forserean]

Eric, wanna DM for us?

[1GOD1JESUS]

like father like son ;p

[DeeDemonwitch]

so wait, let me get this straight. God created this universe for us, and it's finely tuned for us. Yet the earth is slowing down and the moon is moving away?? Wouldn't it all be constant, why would it need to change if it's fine tuned already?

[jmm1233]

@DeeDemonwitch answer by nephy is the water jets , lol 

[DeeDemonwitch]

@jmm1233 true story bro ;)

[TheOtherSide100]

Eric sounds like a sexy beast! Other than that, great video. I'm not a scientist, but I'm a huge fan of science... and your channel. Well done!

[1GOD1JESUS]

@TheOtherSide100 hey eric!

[LeeMcLoughlin1975]

@1GOD1JESUS

Lol

[TruthSurge]

Hovind is to our species like bovine is to feces.  well, it almost rhymed. HEHEHEHEH nice vid. Eric is totally deluded and like you say, as long as he's getting that chaching.... he won't change. Too lucrative.

[NaptownBorn]

Nice debunk.

[Webofscience]

Nice video! But to nitpick, you missed out the only reason we have continents at all, which is volcanism. And it is the formation of new crust by volcanism that is BY FAR the main reason Hovind's calculation is a load of crap. All erosion does is redistribute pre-existing crust.

[KaroKoenich]

Concise, precise, and to the point. Excellent series. Subbed.

[gatorhighlights4]

The Earth is about as young as Eric is smart.

[WildwoodClaire1]

Thank you. Good video.

[adolthitler]

Eric is such a little kent!

[SiriusMined]

Eric also forgot about uplift.

[EssentialPedagogy]

Great vid. I also watch Eric's vids for shits and giggles. 

[MacNutz2]

This guy, like his father, is a straight up liar, a political/financial con man with religious camouflage.  There comes a point when you know you are dealing with either dishonesty or willful ignorance. Neither is worth bothering with except their effect is such you have to bother with them.

In the case of these professional YECs, lying is their stock in trade, can't survive without it.

[Nverdis]

Like idiot like spawn, why would anyone sleep with Kent?

[MacNutz2]

@Nverdis money

[Nverdis]

@MacNutz2 Win, *high fives*

[MacNutz2]

@Nverdis yeah, simple truth :)

[AtheistAussie]

@MacNutz2 LOL! Excellent.

[blackwolf1200]

I can't tell from this video which demographics Eric uses for "his" population growth argument. But the ones I've seen so far from creationists all depend on the assumption that there's a 100% fertility rate - meaning nobody ever died before producing children. The only reason to speak to creationists after they've made their first and inevitably false claim is for pure entertainment.

[JabberCT]

Fuck the Hovinds. They know they are lying through their teeth . Same as ALL the televangelists. The sad part is that a lot of religitards are actually dumb enough to believe these assholes. And like you touched on, as long as they keep getting paid, they have no problems misinforming and ripping off the extremely weak-minded. They realize if youre going to attack the weak, there is no better crowd than the religious crowd. Their morals simply do not exist.

[EssentialPedagogy]

@JabberCT

But Kent has a PhD and was a science teacher for 15 years!

[Loathomar]

@EssentialPedagogy I have 450 PhDs I ordered off the internet. Yay for not caring if a "school' has accreditation.

[LiveTheWild]

@Loathomar

Oh yeah, well I have 451.

Plus, I taught a 1st grade science class for a couple of days.

:D

[saxmanchiro]

Another criminal mind in the Hovind clan. Not surprised.

[poppylevell]

Eric lol

[prodigyat9]

I call straw maning!  You are straw maning Eric. That is right you are arguing with a man who "hasn't got a brain"! Follow the yellow brick road Eric!

[anothergazman]

I'm really hope you meant to say the formation of the solar system not the "creation".

[Odashiman]

It sounds like he's using the exact same Donkey Proctology as Dear Old Dad. Perhaps he will also claim a phony doctorate and spend ten years in prison on federal tax evasion and fraud charges...

[xtro1969]

Quality, as usual.

[pilgrimpater]

The Himalayas are still rising. This is not a theory but an actual measurement. So obviously the plate activity that is causing them to rise obviously MUST be outstripping any erosion. I don't know why creotrads bother.

[prodigyat9]

@pilgrimpater

In Eric's case he makes money from it.

[AuntieDiluvian]

Wow - I thought that WAS Eric! Well done Dan. And good job AA.

[spaceman300]

Well Pwned Sir ;)

[pigwigpa]

bravo!



[bushonomics]

Great work!

[Steaphany]

I recognized your background music, I used it in a video of mine a while back - Nice format

[chthonios]

I think I just came.

Great video.

[SecularMentat]

Yep, he's converting the stupid. or possibly petting the phallus of the converter to make them feel self justified in their beliefs.

[SecularMentat]

@SecularMentat Converted rather.

[th30r3m]

I thought this video had a "Claire" type feel to it, then at the end you credit her. Awesome. Just a comment. As a former christian, Eric Hovind and others get away with their claims because almost no one inside the christian community will check their facts. Like his father, he makes assertions that prove to be vacuous under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

[johncrwarner]

Two of my favourite countries to visit Estonia and Finland are both rising and the islands off the Estonian and Finnish coasts will join the mainland in the next few centuries - I can attest that the sea is very shallow there.

In Northern Norway where I was last year the seashore carvings are now 23 metres above sea level and still rising.

[awreslr2]

Well done! Yes, people who follow and give money to Eric are really pretty under educated, easy to fleece for contributions.
