I watch him on Carl Baugh and he is handsome. What a doll!
He does not have a fake doctorate. In the recent email i got from his ministry, he said there are over a thousand websites against him, which is good for him since Jesus said woe unto us when all men speak well of you.
I'm a male. Am I supposed to find him attractive to? And if I do, won't I be committing what you think is a sin? WHAT DO I DO?!

Excellent word. I'll have to make note of that for future fun. |

You who said the mind is a product of the brain, please prove that.
You're basically saying the brain came first.
There would be no need for a brain if there were not a mind.
Hunters and gatherers were we, so are you saying we hunted for a mind? Or did the mind hunt" The mind needed a home, but the brain was not necessary until there was a mind.
Saying they appeared at once is not logical since how would the brain know it needed to exist if at first the mind didn't exist which knew it needed a brain to live in?
Yeah right! We hunted for a mind, but gee I wonder what we thought with as we hunted for it.
Ummm...his "Doctorate" is not from an accredited university, so if you still find it legit. -then that is up to you. Many creationists have read that if they face resistance, it is because they are speaking the word of God, so everytime they face resistance... Hubris kicks in and they tell themselves it must be because they are speaking God's word..as we see with Mr. Hovind, this is not true.

Did the mind hunt for a brain to exist in?

Not possible for brain and mind to appear at once since baby knows nothing, must be taught. |

I do not care to "behold him"...listening to him give me a stomach ache. But you go ahead and "behold him"... Best of luck with all that..be sure to practice safe beholding.

The "mind" as you call it is a result of pre-formed and new connexions between neurons in your brain. It is all one thing. When you are "brain-dead" your brain has simply ceased to function. This is why your heart can stop without it dissappearing like a thief into the night.
You nit.
