• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have no clue who Kent Howord is.

I do know Einstein though. His two theories of relativity may have been inspired by other geniuses, but he added the proverbial two and two together. To this day Newton classic laws of physics are taught. And if you read 'between' the lines of The Principia by Newton it could be said that Einstein 'stole' from Newton. LOL

Can someone explain how this Kent guy is connected to Einstein ?!?

Hovind is to Einstein as Jack the Ripper is to Dr. Christian Barnard.

 They are related only in that Einstein WAS a scientist and Hovind PRETENDS to be one.

  Bad Nick! Naughty Nick! You started another thread on this topic, without ever addressing these objections by DialecticMaterialist.

  Indeed, not only did you start another thread on the same topic, instead of addressing these objections, you also phrased the plagerism accusation as a known fact, and not a highly disputed claim.

  Why, if I didn't know better, I'd claim you couldn't answer Dialectic's refutation, and merely repeated your claim once his objection once that thread was safely off the page.

Here's Dialectic's post (the quotes are the claim of your 'supporting' link):



The guy is merely translating one guy's wroding into Einstein and saying since their phrases "seem similiar" Einstein obviously copied the guy.



That for me did it. The guy obviously hasn't a clue as to what he's talking about. Locke, Liebniz and Berekley were all theists, only someone who is totally ignorant of philosophy could ever believe these people were relativists. I rule out lying, of course, because anyone capable of it( they would have to know a bit about Locke, Liebniz and Berekley), would see how obviously wrong such a statement was. i.e. only pure ignorance could lead someone to make such a comment. This whole thing is either the work of a boob or a hoax. In either case it hardly warrants the 2 mins I spent on it.  

Naughty Nick!

In my opinion, neither Einstein's nor Hovind's life outside of their works really need be mentioned in addressing the validity of their works. The genius and sheer idiocy of said works, respectively, speaks plenty loud enough.

Amen Brother!

The world's going to hell.

John 8:44 Says that satan is the father of all lies. Does this mean that if Hovind is lying that he's leading the world to hell?

Chris :(
