  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Kind = genus

And I don't plan on changing my perspective on that anytime soon.

"Family" is too broad and "species" is too narrow.

"Genus" seems to be just right.


So a member of Homo ergaster is of the "Human kind"?

ETA: And ring species still presents a problem that you cannot explain. They are both the same "kind" and not the same "kind" according to your definition.

Any of these other guys ... like Cro-magnon or Neanderthal or whatever, I have already explained as having been victims of God's "wonderful plagues."

Deuteronomy 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Even King David seems to have died of one of these bone-altering plagues (Psalm 38).

If it doesn't fit those two criteria I mentioned, then it's either an exception, or the species is mislabeled.

As I said before, "family" is too broad and "species" is too narrow.

You are perfectly entitled to your views, and I wish you well with them, honestly.

But this thread is about Kent Hovind's debate with Aron Ra.

(Edited for accuracy)
Has Hovind something left in jail to return there? Why? Why is he so brave?

Hovind didn't go to jail for debating Aron Ra.

He was railroaded by academia.

His bravery is a product of his committment to the Great Commission.

He was railroaded? So he didn't really skip out on paying taxes? He wasn't actually caught trying to hide assets? What, exactly, was false about the allegations for which he was convicted?

Didn't you find suspicious, that such extremely active and brave Christian was put into jail? Have you ever heard about persecutions?

No, because I listened to the jailhouse call recording of him giving instructions to hide assets.

I also did not find it suspicious, because of the many dishonest (and I don't use that word lightly) claims he makes in his presentations. Did not surprise me a bit about the unpaid taxes.

I also note that you failed to answer the question. What were the false allegations?

But remember my word: the moment Kent will defeat the Ra, he will again "cheat on taxes". LOL.
Nonsense.

You'll notice that Ray Comfort and Ken Hamm are also prominant creationists who profit from their religious ministry. People don't like them for their dishonest debating techniques and in Hamm's case dodgy use of public funds... but they aren't theives.

Kent Hovind is a criminal because of his crimes and not his religion.

Jesus Christ was murdered by Roman Authorities. Is Jesus a criminal? If yes, then Kent is also not a criminal, because they dare to accuse the God.

So Kent Hovind is Christ? Or can no Christian ever be a criminal?

Is Dennis Rader not a criminal?

1. Martyr Kent Hovind is like Holy Martyr Jesus Christ, but Kent is not Jesus. Do you copy that?
2. Christian never sins. The moment Christian has sinned, he is no longer Christian, until he goes to Church Confession.

Kent is not a martyr, he is a convicted liar and tax cheat.

And in number two you claimed that he is not even a Christian. Of course by your standards it appears that no one is a Christian. I think you definition may need a bit of work.

How cane he defeat Aron Ra? He was already thoroughly spanked. I am sorry but the man is a complete idiot. Either that or he is the worst liar the world has ever seen. More likely a mixture of both.

Jesus Christ, Godmather Mary, 12 apostles, 12 sons of Israel, Ilia, Adam, Eve, and many more are saints, not sinners.

But Adam and Eve never existed. You lose when you put fictitious people in your argument. Worse yet all of those people are "sinners" in the Bible with the possible exceptions of Mary and Jesus.

Wasn't arrested for his Christian beliefs, he was arrested for lying about his income and tax avoidance.

No human avoids sin to the Christian standard. Even coveting something that isn't yours or hating someone is a sin.

Jesus Christ, Godmather Mary, 12 apostles, 12 sons of Israel, Ilia, Adam, Eve, and many more are saints, not sinners.
...really? Adam and Eve... they are the most significant sinners in the Bible. If you take them as literal people then they obviously disobey direct orders from God and then lie about it.

(And even if you take them as allegory for the human race, then they represent human sin nature.)
