Anyone else familiar with Kent Hovind?
A friend of my husbands and mine just told us about his videos and website this past weekend. We've been dowloading and watching the videos and they are very exciting. |

Hehe, oh, man, that's a good one.
Thing is, it's Hovind who refuses to debate, unless in front of an audience. Why don't you ask him why he doesn't engage in written debates? |

Anyway, Kent Hovind seems to be very intellectually dishonest and uses many anti-evolution arguments that have been seriously debunked beyond recognition, even when debunked he still uses them (psst false witness!)! He even uses the moon dust theory...Or was that anotha Kreationist? |

I don't believe I missed that. ****. Edited to add: Wait a minute, **** is censored? I can understand ****, or even ****, but ****?

Reps: 100 (power: 0) | | Hm, I think most people here have been introduced to Mr. Hovind. His videos might be exiting to watch (I haven't seen any of then personally) but I would take their "scientific" content with more than a medium sized grain of salt. My advice would be to not get too attached to people like Hovind. It can be quite traumatic to find out that people you might have trusted to tell you the truth have lied to you. Have a look at what a former YEC have to say about it here:
www-glenn-morton-btinternet-co-uk/transform-htm
(since I'm not allowed to post URL's yet, please replave the '-' with '.')
Here's a little excerpt: Being through with creationism, I was almost through with Christianity. I was thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that if the earth were not young and the flood not global, then the Bible was false. I was on the very verge of becoming an atheist. During that time, I re-read a book I had reviewed prior to its publication. It was Alan Hayward's Creation/Evolution (Triangle, 1985). Although I had reviewed it prior to its publication in 1985, I hadn't been ready for the views he expressed. He presented a wonderful "Days of Proclamation" view which pulled me back from the edge of atheism. Although I believe Alan applied it to the earth in an unworkable fashion, applied differently, his view had the power to unite the data with the Scripture. That is what I have done with my views. Without that I would now be an atheist. There is much in Alan's book I agree with and disagree with, but his book was very important in keeping me in the faith. While his book may not have changed the debate totally, it did change my life.
It was my lack of knowledge that allowed me to go along willingly and become a young-earth creationist. It was isolation from contradictory data, a fear of contradictory data and a strong belief in the young-earth interpretation that kept me there for a long time. The biggest lesson I have learned in this journey is to read the works of those with whom you disagree. God is not afraid of the data.
Other people haven't been as "lucky" as Glenn Morton after finding out they been lied to.
