Kent Hovind's Age of the Earth Rebutted - HD version

Another HD version of an older video, this one rebutting Kent Hovind's Age of the Earth seminar (except for parts that have been rebutted elsewhere; check my videos, and those of cdk007 and Thunderf00t).

Good video.

[wes5020]

I love how you start these creation videos: "This video is rebutting something stupid."

I hope Hovind gets assraped in prison. Lol not really. But I am delighted hes in there. Best place for people like him.

[baxtar1963]

My name is Kent Hovind. I used to lie to the masses of ignorant church goers and now I just lie to the other prisoners.

[Saber0003]

Why bother explaining the population increase, when you could just point out the fact NO ONE who believes in evolution thinks man has been around 3 MILLION YEARS. LMAO, why didn't you call him on that, its fucking hilarious.

good work shane - keep up the fight!

@flamifer1 I'd say not only possible, but pretty darn certain!

@johnrainrules

I too believe, that Joshua's story is ficticious. Thank heavens, the world did not stop to rotate. But for people back then the sun was just a hot light attached to the sky, that could be stopped by god without much consequence. We have to ask oursevelves: Did our ancestors like to "enhance" the stories of their heroes in order to make them even more god-like? Is it possible, that all miracles in the bible were added later on by people eagerly promoting the new religion?

@shanedk

He possibly read it on one of the countless creationist websites in the internet.

[johnrainrules]

@shanedk I assume this guys friend just read part of a passage off a website. Like people who use Ecclesiastes 1:6 to claim the bible talks about weather patterns when if you read the entire poem it claims the sun goes around the Earth and other nonsense in a depressing poem that could also double as communist propaganda.

[johnrainrules]

@flamifer1 I agree that what it wanted to say was that Joshua not only wanted, but did gain time. Unfortunately in so doing it betrayed that the author didn't know how the solar system really worked. For the passage to be literally true. that would require a lot of crazy things from a physics stand point. Shane brings up the possibility in one of his posts that they could be trying to explain a hallucination from taking shrooms, personally I think the story is just fictitious.

[shanedk]

@flamifer1 Exactly: the sun stood still FOR 24 HOURS so they could have more time, then started back up again. He can't POSSIBLY have read the passage if he said that!

[flamifer1]

@johnrainrules

Thank you for your comment on Joshua 10:12. A friend of mine, who is creationist mentioned it as proof, that the bible already knew, that the sun was in the center of the solar system: "the sun stood still".

I think, in the bible passage rather means to say, that Joshua wanted to gain time instead of telling us about astronomical facts.

[johnrainrules]

@flamifer1 My opinion is that the statement in Joshua 10:12 has an assumption that the world is stationary. Because if the "sun stood still" that means the Earth stopped spinning. Unless Shane is correct and hallucinogens merely changed their perception of time.

@PinheadOrPatriot

I have been thinking of the "Supreme Being" idea, creating universes and controlling everything. Doesn't intelligence require the existence of a brain? And doesn't a brain require matter to exist? What, if the "Supreme Being" was just another word for knowledge? Could God simply be pure knowledge?

Knowledge is the only thing that is all powerful, everywhere at the same time and naturally knows everything. That way we had god and science united.

[shanedk]

@bebop7c2 Couldn't agree more.

[bebop7c2]

@shanedk If the Bibles correct then everying simi-historically accurate must be true if it was written down, and what do we do about this God that tells people to rape women and stone people? I say we don't worship him.

It's important to believe things that are true my friend.

[flamifer1]

@shanedk

That is exactly my idea, of how the ancient Hebrews saw the world. The bible says, that the earth is a disk:

Isaiah 40:22: "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers"

[shanedk]

@bebop7c2 "The people who wrote the bible put in current and old event and places into it, thats why it's historical and archeological."

Yes, the same way Margaret Mitchell put Atlanta, slaves, and the Civil War into Gone With the Wind. I wonder if Pinhead would be saying that this means Rhett and Scarlet really existed if he lived 2000 years from now?

And yeah, all that and he couldn't even do the cups-and-balls?

[shanedk]

@flamifer1 Noah's flood as well.

[shanedk]

@flamifer1 That is ABSOLUTELY what the passage means. That fits completely with ancient Hebrew cosmology: a disc-shaped Earth surrounded by a firmament, on which were stuck the sun, moon, and stars. The Earth was mounted on pillars and surrounded by a vast ocean. You need to do a LOT of fanboy retcons to make the Bible comply with actual cosmology; you need to do nothing whatsoever to make it match what the ancient Hebrews believed.

[bebop7c2]

@PinheadOrPatriot The people who wrote the bible put in current and old event and places into it, thats why it's historical and archeological.

As far as eyewitness accounts, I don't care who sees a man make water into whine, create bret and fish, and walk on water; it's still not true or a good magic trick.

Even if it was true; who would worship someone who kills kids with bears, who says stoning people is ok, and who kills whole city's but lets the women and girls live to be raped later.

[flamifer1]

@johnrainrules

True. But that is not the issue here. PinheadOrPatriot, the person, my posting was addressed to, statet Joshua 10:12: "The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go down about a whole day!"

He believes, that this bible passage meant to tell us, that the sun stands still and the earth revolves around it (as it does). I am having a hard time to believe, that this is, what Joshua 10:12 means. What is your opinion?

[flamifer1]

@shanedk

That makes sense. Several parts of the old testament, like Adam & Eve and Noah are definitively taken from slightly altered far older mesopotamian legends. 

[johnrainrules]

@shanedk True, but that probably wouldn't give you more time to murder people. It might make you more likely to do it though.
