An interesting discussion between Creationists

[Vance]

Most here have heard of the AIG (Answers in Genesis, the leading Creatino Science group) "don't use" list of Creationist arguments they believe are not supportable. Kent Hovind responded to this list and then AIG responded to that, and the link to that page is below (it includes the list, all of Hovind's rebuttal and their response). I find it fasciniating reading:

Hmmm... Hovind/"Dr. Dino"... or Answers in Genesis... which one...

I've read most of that list of "don't use" and it's pretty solid. Trust me from experience, lol, I've used some of those from the "don't use" list, and they're right.

I'll check the link.

@Vance: Thanks for that link - it's really amusing to see that Hovind tries to cheat *everyone* using the same tactics. He misrepresents AIG's points (he doesn't directly quote them, but only posts short excerpts, quite often completely incongruent with AIG's argumentations), ignores evidence and tries to pass of his ad-hoc hypotheses as valid, simply because he chooses to ignore refutations to these, etc...

Is there an award for "cook of the century"?

Hovind is quite the dishonest person in my opinion. I've heard a few of his debates and he refuses to admit when he's wrong about anything, even when it's pointed out to him (such as the debate he had on Infidel Guy's radio show, where a guy named white-IIRC-pointed out to a specific claim of his, a text book claim, that Hovind had fabricated).

From the link:

We would therefore suggest that one of the greatest strengths of any creationist organization or individual would be a willingness to keep up with new information, and to discard or modify one’s favorite arguments in the interests of the highest standards of integrity and accuracy.

My irony meter is about to explode. I thought creationism was God's Word and it never changed. Unlike those heathen evilutionists who constantly change their theory to fit the real world. Which just goes to show how deeply evolutionary theory is in crisis.
