This is why the classic debate format doesn't work with creationists. They are allowed to lie without being called out on it.

And that is why many creationists still use the Gish Gallop.

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.


I thought kent hovind was in prison? Is he still preaching?

Unfortunately, yes. He's conned some people into donating some land and pay for a Dinoland 2.0, opening soon.
The fleecing continues.

I wonder if he'll pay his taxes this time...

Ra makes a heroic attempt to prevent Hovind from tap-dancing around the actual argument. Hovind resorts to blatant lying, e.g. claiming that Ra said that we are descended from pine trees.

Gabe at Here is the Evolution was inspired by that particular "discussion" to create a meme to help out confused Creationists like Kent.

He was released from prison not that long ago.

But Hovind Jr made sure "the business" didn't die while daddy was in jail.
Actually, Eric took his daddy’s business and Hovind’s wife Mary Jo, divorced him and kicked him out. Hovind was given some land in Alabama, and has started another scam business there. He is completely estranged from his family, and has remarried and divorced since he’s been out of jail.

Ow, didn't know that.
I stand corrected.

"appears" being the operative word here. And I'll also add that it just appears like that TO YOU, because you have some (rather silly) "image" in your head of what a satanist looks like.

Most of them these days look like this:

I still wonder how Aron Ra could debate this guy with a straight face. I like some of the creationists out there but this guy never impressed me. I've tried to listen to some of his stuff but it's hard to do without fighting sleep.

Not sure I want to watch this. I wouldn't watch a 12 rounds bout between Mayweather and a toddler, either..
Now in my minds eye I'm trying to imagine what a toddler would look like after 12 rounds :D

I have to disagree. I listened to about two hours of it and found Hovind did far more than simply held his own. Ra was condescending and foolish sounding.
Hovind came off like the science illiterate he is . He’s an embarrassment.

Then you know as little of the sciences as Kent does. He made a fool of himself and he knew it.

He always does, there are times when he is pretty good on the facts but it only lasts so long. His animosity toward creationism is personal somehow.
