Kent Hovind as a speaker is excellent (charisma, speaking ability, etc), but his science isn't always too good. He tends to believe/state things without checking into them very well, make assertions without enough evidence to back them up, etc. AIG has had qualms in the past about many things he has said.LynneClomina said:creationists, what do you think of the ministry and science of Kent Hovind? (Creation Science Evangelism; drdino.(com?).)
has anyone watched the whole 16 or so hours of the creation science seminar?
i know of a lot of ppl who have had their faith in God renewed by watching them.
Some pointers:LynneClomina said:like what?
i like his humility.Vance said:Not to butt into the conversation, but just to add some additional facts to be considered.
A series of quotes from Hovind (which can be found at the site linked on the bottom). You be the judge of whether the man is trustworthy:
I may not always be right, but if I am saying it in my seminar then I don't know it to be false.
A simple trick you can do. Suppose someone is getting married and going off on their honeymoon, you can pull out the coil wire [of the car engine]. Stick a door bell wire under there, pull it back, bring the door bell wire through the fire wall, and weave it through the fabric of the seat. They get in there all excited going on their honeymoon, you know, hit the key. Bam!! Ohh, ahh. Ha, ha, ha. I can give you lots more ideas but we
yes? what about it? i remember it in it's context and thought it was pretty funny.ll stop there.
yes, he is a definate conspiracy theorist, but so? we all have some flaky opinions about some things, and that particual speech i dont agree with, so i don't abide by it. y'know, sift the wheat from the chaff? but also, dont throw out the baby witht hte bathwater and all that.Oklahoma City bombing was done on purpose. Did you know the Federal Government blew up their own building to blame it on the militias and to get rid of some people that weren't cooperating with the system?
What do HIV, West Nile Fever, Gulf war syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's disease, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's have in common? These plagues were all developed as a joint effort by the money masters and governments of the world under the guise of biowarfare research. The bad guys who would like to have a one world government have learned a simple technique - you create a crisis and then the people will call for you to come solve the crisis. That
s why the Oklahoma City Bombing took place. They wanted to get the anti-terrorist bill passed through Congress. [ ..] Whenever there is a crisis like the Twin Towers getting blown up, you had just better look behind the scenes to see what is really happening. Why is this going on? Theres a reason for it, okay, its all part of a plan. [ ..] [American] Civil War was intentionally done, World War Two, the Great Depression, all these things are planned ahead of time and they are orchestrated to [
i could believe it, but i dont hold to that myself much. again, i dont throw out the baby with the bathwater...] cause a particular response amongst the people.
notice the first words here? "My take"....it's his opinion, and he very often states "this is what i believe, i dont know" etc often. he is entitle to have opinions!My take on what happened with the moon landing was [......] they suspect [sic] that on impact that the cameras would be damaged because back in 1969 cameras weren't, you know, like they are today, as good. So they had a studio set up at CBS to mimic the moon landing. And sure enough the cameras broke and so they flipped, you know, the CBS studio on. And what you saw of the footage of the '69 moon landing was actually at CBS studio.
and the last words of that sentence are......?Stanley Deyo, a Christian, is a genius who wrote the book [The Cosmic Conspiracy]. Way over my head. Deyo says that there are two kinds of UFOs. First, there are US government owned and operated UFOs. That really got my attention. The US government has UFOs? He said that the second kind is the satanically owned and operated UFOs. He says that Satan has always used that mode of transportation to get around because the devil [sic] can only be at one place at one time, whereas God is all places at all times. That may be far fetched, so please do not accuse me of saying this is true. I do not know if it is true, but it is an interesting theory.
this one i have not heard, but i'd sure like to see it in context. i never trust quotes taken out of their wider context.The globalist, the Council of the Committee of Three Hundred, has as one of their goals to reduce the world population from six billion to one-half billion people. There are too many people here that cannot be controlled; so get rid of them. That's why AIDS was purposefully developed in a Maryland laboratory to wipe out population.
again, what's the context? he's just saying it seems weirdly coincidental, and he is allowed to have his own opinions.On August 6, a grand jury hears former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, reported to testify that she and President carried on a sexual affair. On August 7 two U.S. Embassies in Africa are bombed, steering the news headlines away from the Lewinsky affair. The attacks are later blamed on Osama bin Laden. Why would bin Laden time these attacks to divert attention away from the Clinton affair? This has never been explained.
what's wrong with that? if a 4 legged animal is going to evolve wings out of two of its legs, they will be pretty unusable for a few millenia, no? unless one subscribes to that theory where God made evolution do some quick jumps from one to another real quick.... i find that takes more faith than believing Genesis.[All] Dinosaurs have four perfectly good [quadruped] legs and birds have two legs and two wings. So if hes going to turn into a bird his front legs are going to have to turn into wings [ .] Somewhere along the line theyre going to be half leg and half wing. Which means now he cant walk anymore and cant fly yet.
what about it? what's the problem with this?Hey, did you know the word 'universe' comes from two Latin words? Uni means single and verse means a spoken sentence.
Those who have been in the [Noah
s] Ark, and many have been in the last couple hundred years
ok, so just what is the context here? this is so obviously plucked out of context as to be laughable. sad.
light IS variable. they've done it in labs. this is feeding off peoples ignorance of that fact to try to make hovind look like a fool. sad.Einstein's theory was that the speed of light is a constant. Time is the variable. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe time is the constant and light is the variable.
i dont think humans built that either. there are alot of egyptian built things from back then that we couldnt build NOW, even with all our technology. i'm not going into that right now though.I believe the Great Pyramid was built to be the Bible in stone. The Egyptians did not build it.
context?Therefore, there may not be any other stars in the solar system that have planets around them.
that is SO his sense of humour.
Obviously, several different colors of people exist on the earth that have distinctive characteristics, but they are the same race. [.....] One theory says that Adam and Eve were medium-brown, possibly because they were made from the earth.
To use one of Hovind's favorite phrases, "You got to learn to eat the meat and spit out the bones."LynneClomina said:yes, he is a definate conspiracy theorist, but so? we all have some flaky opinions about some things, and that particual speech i dont agree with, so i don't abide by it. y'know, sift the wheat from the chaff? but also, dont throw out the baby witht hte bathwater and all that.
