Ex-Con Hovind released from the pokey.

[JasonClark]

No. And yes, i find what he says believable.

Thank you kindly.

Could that possibly be because you do not understand what evolution is or what he is telling you? do you only believe him because you trust him?
I don't expect you to believe me or any of the other people here who say that Kent Hovind tells lies after all why should you?

He knows that he can tell you lies because he also knows you will not and do not check to see if what he is telling you is true,
he knows that no matter what lies he tells you you will believe them because you want to believe that what he tells you is true,
your religion is ruling your heart but not your head and he is relying on that, only believers believe him and unbelievers can see right through him,
he doesn't care because he is not trying to fool unbelievers he is only trying to fool believers because they are the ones paying him,
as far as Kent Hovind is concerned you are your own worst enemy because you want to believe him and he is playing on that fact.

 

[HitchSlap]

I've seen no reason to believe that he doesn't stand for honesty nor any reason to believe that he misrepresents science.

Thank you kindly.

Honest people don't conspire to skirt the law.

i don't necessarily trust anyone, including Kent Hovind. Why i listened (or continued to listen) is because what he said was in sync with what i surmised from the Bible.

Thank you kindly.

That is how a con artist operates. He tells you things you want to be true.

 

[brinny]

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but i do not see, from what i have read, where he was dishonest.

Thank you kindly.

That may be how you see it, and in many cases it may be true (for there are surely MANY con artists), but i am not easily conned.

Thank you kindly.

If you think Hovind has valid arguments against evolution, then you are easily conned.

 

[brinny]

You are of course entitled to your opinion. I however disagree.

Thank you kindly.

Assuming you haven't listened to the taped recordings of big Hovind and little Hovind discussing the best way to hide assets from the Feds. In fact, based on your comment, it's safe to assume you're not familiar with his trial.

No, i haven't heard any of the tapes you describe. I am somewhat familiar with the trial, however.

Thank you kindly.

Have you heard about the whopper Hovind tells about carbon dating and mammoths?

http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD011_2.html

Did you believe Hovind when he said that carbon dating doesn't work?

 

[HitchSlap]

No, i haven't heard any of the tapes you describe. I am somewhat familiar with the trial, however.

Thank you kindly.

Unless you've redefined "honest," then your boys guilty every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

i read the link. What was it i was supposed to surmise from the information there?

Thank you kindly.

if he is so guilty, why did they release him from prison?

Thank you kindly.

Hovind claims that scientists got wildly different carbon dates from two parts of the same mammoth. He uses this as an example of why carbon dating doesn't work.

The truth is that they were two pieces from different mammoths found hundreds of miles apart.

What you are supposed to surmise is that Hovind uses lies to con his audience into thinking that carbon dating doesn't work.

 

[Loudmouth]

if he is so guilty, why did they release him from prison?

Thank you kindly.

Because he had served his time from the original convictions, a sentence of 10 years. What they were considering is if they should keep him in jail after his original sentence was finished due to crimes he may have committed during his 10 year sentence.

Not sure why what he's claiming would be a lie?

Thank you kindly.

Why didn't they keep him in jail?

Thank you kindly.

 

[Loudmouth]

Hovind says that you get wildly different dates from the same mammoth. The reference he cites has dates from two different mammoths, not two dates from the same mammoth as Hovind claims.

Not sure how this can not be considered a lie.

 

[Loudmouth]

Why didn't they keep him in jail?

For the same reason that other convicted criminals are let out of jail. He had finished his sentence.
