Aron Ra destroys Hovind

[HitchSlap]

Discussion between Aron Ra and Hovind on the topic of kinds vs. cladistics. This is one of the best eviscerations of a creationist I have ever seen. Worth the time.

Just going to note that two hours is a big time commitment, even for people who are into YouTube debates.

Aron Ra’s videos are well worth listening to . I’ve watch his evolution and phylogeny videos as I always learn something new and I’ve got a biology degree. His videos correct common and erroneous creationist memes. And his science information is accurate.

I kinda want to watch the full video, but on the other hand listening to Hovind spout his creo-nonsense again is painful.

Indeed. Unfortunately Aron Ra had to repeatedly define terms and how Hovind was making up his own definitions and drawing false conclusions (standard creo/hovind faire). Aron Ra’s phylogeny challenge absolutely squashes creationism, and when hovind was pinned down on definitions and forced to answer questions, the absurdity of creationism is fully exposed, and Hovind had nowhere to hide. I almost felt bad for Hovind... almost.

I have seen a couple of Aron Ra's debates. Is his appearance because he is a satanist or is it just a poor choice? (actual question)

Is having long hair a sign that a person is a satanist?

He’s a satanist who eats babies covered in Siracha.

Good ole Aron Ra, he was a pretty good guy. It's hard to believe he would take on Hovind of all people. Not really interested in watching it but sure it was a hoot.

It's shtick. Also he doesn't grow facial hair other than what you see. I had dinner with him and his wife and he was admiring my mustache.

Aron Ra is an atheist who just happens to be good at biology . (Sriracha really lol )

Is there anyone you haven't met?

I'm starting to think you're one of the orchestrators behind this Atheistic Conspiracy TM we keep hearing about.

Seems like a metal-fan-biker kind of style?
What of it?

Carl Sagan. Southern Methodist University. 1995 IIRC. I had my chance and an original hardcover edition of Cosmos, but I went out drinking that night instead.

He looks less like a cartoon satan and more like a biker there. Is he a biker?

I guess it depends on the type of metal, he definitely looks like a biker in the pic though.

It looks like the name his Mormon parents gave him was Aron Nelson. The surname he chose when he changed his name is the Hebrew word for evil so I'm guessing the appearance is just as intentional as the surname.

You seem quite besotted with Aron Ra’s appearance.

He must be a bad guy, the way he treats Saint Kent.
