If only it were satire, part 1

A (lengthy) response to coughlan666's new video, in which he eviscerates Kent Hovind's doctoral "thesis." I approached it from an academic viewpoint at first, but the horror of the 'arguments' and 'statements' he makes proved to be too much, so obscenities abound. (Nb: I have no doctorate, I don't know everything, I'm not a Biblical Scholar, and I'm not claiming to. But I can string a coherent sentence together, and that makes me more qualified than Kent Hovind to comment on his own thesis)

I just briefly skimmed the rest of his 'thesis,' and not surprisingly, I saw NOT A SINGLE CITATION IN THE ENTIRE EFFING THING. Check and see for yourself:

http://88.80.16.63/leak/kent-hovind-doctoral-dissertation.pdf

Instead he listed PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS, in a DOCTORAL THESIS, as "EVIDENCE" of his "claims." At one point he actually stated: "There is no empirical evidence to support evolution." HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF YOU NEVER CRACKED OPEN A SINGLE BOOK TO SUPPORT THAT CLAIM? He doesn't even ATTEMPT to discount a SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE (and yes, it does exist) for evolution. Why not cite/read/examine books ABOUT evolution? Articles? Documentaries? Oh, that's right, you 'preach' unto others, therefore you know ALL. I forgot, sorry.

Pardon the 'blasphemy,' but Jesus Tap Dancing Christ. The profundity and depth of this man's willful ignorance would make Mary Magdalene gag.

@bunnygotfree I know this vid was made a long time ago, but I wanted to ask a question. I can't seem to find a site that is still hosting Hovind's doctoral "thesis" and was wondering if you saved the copy that you downloaded. If not, it's no problem. The only site the blogs link to is WikiLeaks, and they are locked up right now because of the whole Iraq War documents thing.

@bane117 - I had a copy on my computer, but I had to reinstall my OS so it may have been deleted. I'll ask around, and see what I can find! It's fucking hysterical, you'll be in tears laughing just at the introductory 'paragraph.'

[bane117]

@bane117 Thanks for checking. I just want to have a copy to show teachers who give me bad paper grades. I want to justify my writing, by comparison.

[bunnygotfree]

@bane117 - Bwahahaha. He starts it with "Hello my name is Kent Hovind," and it just goes down from there...

I do believe people have analyzed his "writing" style and it reveals that he writes at an eigth grade level. I'd feel sorry for him if he weren't spouting the evil shit he does. You could vomit on a paper and get an A in comparison to his schmeg. It really is that bad, lol

Lol. Empirical and science. If you want science, become a neurologist. That's the real science behind psychology.

[bunnygotfree]

@JoelsufBass - There's science to counseling and backing up therapy as well. CBT in particular. One of my professors is a cognitive neuroscientist. He builds artificial neural networks simulating language acquisition. Fascinating stuff!

@snowjamz - Your god is a pathetic, miserable, evil, detestable deity, and your bible is so rampantly full of contradictions, it's hilarious that you'd dare to tell me that you've read it if you are asking that in any serious manner. How did Judas die? Did your "god" create animals before or after "man"? Is it ok to judge others? Is there an unforgivable sin? All of these have different conflicting answers WITHIN your own "holy" book. It is disgusting and vile.

[darkhyena]

lol, I think I just might show it to my degree supervisors. Screw all the student booklets on plagiarism and referencing, just give people "Hello my name is Kent Hovind..." and watch them stare blankly.

Bloody hell, I think even primary school teachers could use it for the same purpose.

Thank you, and good luck with yours :)

Guess your 1st Video and his 1st dissertation have a lot in common, Yawn. Gasp a little less next video.

[wideosvatcher]

you are great!

[asshiqm]

@bunnygotfree ... Leave it every thing but you are so beautiful if you would to have a friendship with me, I will be very glad. I love you in avery first sight. ;)

@Jonstern1983 It was a joke to equate Hovind's work to The Cat in the Hat, not to be as a serious insult to Dr. Seuss.

[Jonstern1983]

@jisaid08 That's not true, Dr. Seuss did get an honorary doctorate from Dartmouth. Hovind got his "doctorate" from a correspondence course after graduating from a non-accredited university. Dr. Seuss got his after years of humanitarian work and writing some of the most beloved books of at least the 20th century. Hovind got his after filling out an application. Seuss was way more of a legitimate doctor than Hovind.
