Holy crud! TV show on now promoting Creationism

[platzapS]

Oh my gosh

A show is on now (eastern US time 5:00 PM--7:00 PM)
On my channel 19, WLCB.

Kent Hovinds $250,000 offer.
"Evolution is not a theory, it's a model. It can't be tested"
"The myth of evolution..."

 

[Late_Cretaceous]

First off, evolution is a theory - we all know that. And models CAN be tested. Just ask any engineer - thats what they do for a living.

 

[Risen Tree]

Do they have a call-in number for somebody to claim the prize?

 

[Arikay]

What is the shows name?

 

[platzapS]

NOTE: I am an evolutionist, but this show is entertaining. All of the fallacies in post #1 were presented in the first 20 minutes of this two-hour special!

 

[platzapS]

The name of the show is simply "Evolution vs. Creation".

 

[PaladinValer]

It is probably public tv, which is open to all.

Secondly, that dude is indeed off his rocker.

Thirdly, don't expect him to hand out any money; nothing will change his mind. Its nothing more than a childish, immature ploy of his.

 

[platzapS]

It is probably public tv, which is open to all.

Actually, it's a Christian TV channel. At least it's not some actual Science/Discovery Channel.

 

[platzapS]

"Cat's don't become dogs, and apes don't become humans."

 

[platzapS]

"'Truth' #1:
Evolution is a model based on blind faith and hoaxes."

 

[platzapS]

"The problem is, no intermediate fossil has ever been found."

Let me guess...TBN?

So is creation....
One thing that is proven though is that the earth is constanly changing and evolvong...it never stops and never will, thats a fact
The only thing about evolution that is not fact is how the universe and earth came to be and where humans came from cuz no one ever actually saw this, so it is only a theory and "myth, and the same goes for creation.

Duane Gish...Ken Ham...coelocanth...John Morris (was he the guy with Whitcomb on the Flood justification?)..."In the last 10 years, many of the pillars on which evolution has stood have collapsed"..."based on blind faith"...misrepresentation of ToE by implying that humans came from apes...

 

[platzapS]

"Try an experiment to prove the Big Bang theory: Take all elements that comprise a car (rubber, metal, glass, leather) out of your garage. Wait 10...20...10...10,000... 250,000,000...etc. years to see if a Mercedes Benz will appear."

 

[platzapS]

"spontaneous generation = abiogenesis"

 

[Arikay]

Nothing like sounding crazy (the sad thing is, i bet a large majority watching are nodding their heads in agreement with them), to make people want to believe your religion.

"Human and dinosaur footprints in the same layer."
A Wernher von Braun quote. (No offense to the genius von Braun, it's just that he was a rocket scientist, not a biologist.)

This kind of show is only popular in the US, right? *glances to Aussies, Brits, and others hopefully*

Yes. *phew

It will probably come up on New Zealand's ShineTV some time in the near future.

Luckily, ShineTV is relegated to Channel 99 - the highest channel I ever went to is 67 (Pay-per-view channels 60-67), usually only up to 56 (CNN), and most often on 40 (Disney Channel ).

Unluckily, ShineTV's programme information keeps interrupting sometimes when I try to bring up the programme information. So for example, when I press the "?" button while watching the National Geographic Channel (51), instead of getting "The Mummy Roadshow" in the programme box, I get a long pause, then it comes up with "The 700 Club" instead.

Sky's Christian conspiracy to convert watching non-believers, perhaps?

Anyway, there was one programme on ShineTV that I found very refreshing, that "Devine Cusine" show. I mean, how much more complete programming can you get than that? A little food, a bit of music from that black dude with a guitar, and a few verses from the Bible all rolled into one 30-minute time slot. Talk about completeness.
