Shem, how long have you been an atheist?

You seem to have a good handle on defending Christiandom.
About 12 years, not long after I joined this forum.

I like to think I pay attention to apologetics, not just ignore it because I don't believe.

Some people never learn. After Kent Hovind was publicly spanked in a discussion with Aron Ra. Held as a discussion so that Kent could not get away with his lies and errors, Hovind has now challenged Aron Ra to a debate. It is supposed to be a series of video exchanges. Here is Part I:


All I see is evolutionists tactic 101..... Ad-hominem attacks.... Standard tactic when all one has is Fairie Dust....

Where is the ad hominem? He never uses an ad hominem fallacy. Observing that someone, such as Hovind, is an idiot, is never used to show that he is wrong. It is the other way around. We observe Hoving being incredibly wrong time after time after time even after he has been corrected and draw the reasonable conclusion the he is either an idiot, that he is lying, or both. That is not an ad hominem attack.

I do wish that creationists would not abuse that term.

That is a false accusation. The sad fact is that Hovind works hard for any "insults" thrown his way.

Why would you embrace Hovind anyway? One has to be desperate to rely on a lying tax cheat like him. He cannot even follow his own Bible in matters unrelated to the theory of evolution.

When one must resort to insults, it shows one has nothing in which to defend oneself with but insults.....

Embrace him? He's an idiot..... But see above.....

Please, calling Kent Hovind an idiot is not an insult One does not have to resort to insults in his regard. He is beaten in every debate that he ever enters. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Tell me, when a person is a convicted rapist is it an insult to call him a rapist?

And there was nothing "above" worth seeing.

Hovind is good for a few yucks. And it is a bit humorous when creationists defend him instead of dumping his sorry rear end.

I agreed with you, he is an idiot....

What part of not defending him did you NOT understand. I'm simply pointing out that all your god Amon Ra, I mean Aron Ra could do was spout insults, which means he has no substance either.

That is clearly wrong. You did not watch the discussion between Aron Ra and Hovind where he kept calmly, at first, explaining Hovind's errors to him. Hovind was simply to dim to understand the explanations and then he called Aron an "idiot" when he was frustrated for constantly being shown to be a fool.

Do you remember your error with the claim of "ad hominem"? It was never claimed that Kent was wrong because he was an idiot. His errors were explained to him again and again and he still could not understand so they only conclusion was that he was an idiot.

AT 05:38, Ra says it's impossible for anyone to defend creationism.

He doesn't know me, does he?
Surely the two of you came up against each other at some point.

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

Dude, let me tell you something about Kent Hovind.

Kent Hovind is not special. There are plenty of creationists who do what he does and do it better and are far, far more successful. Ken Ham. Kirk Cameron. Ray Comfort. His own son, Eric Hovind.

These are all creationists who do what Kent does, make many of the same arguments, reach the same people, teach the same message. Eric in particular has expanded on his father's work while he's been in prison, far more than Kent likely would've done on his own. There are whole organizations full of these people. Ken Ham made a theme park based on this stuff, for crying out loud, and the government HELPED HIM BUILD IT. There is literally nothing that Kent Hovind does that isn't done by someone else in the creationist community, better than he does it.

And none of them are getting mysteriously locked up and thrown in prison.

The idea that Kent Hovind is being locked up to keep him quiet is utterly ridiculous.
