Sure 'nuff. And neither are P & J, or any of us, in the same category as Jesus Christ - in His unique Person as Eternal Creator God along with His Father, since eternity past and into eternity future.Kent Hovind is no way in the same category as Peter and John.

So, hey, does this mean you're gonna seek and confer Chief Authority status upon Jesus, and what He says?
We are talking superior credentials, right? You respect those fellows filled with His Spirit, so you must be ready to respect our Shepherd. Woo hoo!
Luke 15:10 NKJV
"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

The same challenge goes to you as given to Hans, give already with the rebuttal to his argument.Wow. What a load of codswallop to ignore the legitimate fact that Kent Hovind isn't a real doctor of any stripe.

Now having left you with yet another challenge, as in all of our dances on every other thread, I invite you to lobby another devasting irrelevant enjoinder as usual, oh king of the last word. I'll ignore as usual. Make it a real zinger! *big smile*

Weak...Commentary about faith in God has nothing to do with the fact that A) you can't do anything to support the claim that the Bible shows something like the Fibonacci sequence in it at all, and B) that Kent Hovind is a certified quack.
Those are the real challenges for you.
Weak...
Doh! Ok, you're turn again! Isn't this fun?
Curious, anything to say about his example of the trinity in creation relating to the Trinity in Holy Scripture?
Ach du lieber! Science... Scripture.
Now W, [tap, tap], you said there was no such reference in the vid. Don't tell me you're lobbing your usual without actually watching the vid... again?
Whazza matter, too intimidated to debate a quack?
I wouldn't call you a quack in the slightest, though your posting style leaves a lot to be desired.
And no, I'm not debating Kent Hovind, since one can't debate a video, and I can only debate you.
But as always, this is nothing more than a case of all telling and no showing. You can't show that the Bible shows anything akin to the Fibonacci sequence in it, and you can't show anything that shows why anyone should take Hovind seriously since the man is a quack, and a crank too.
So... on your bike, lad.
In this is case the "Doctorate" was purchased for $50 from a place called Patriot University in Colorado.Generally one with a doctorate is conferred upon the privilege of identifying as a Dr.
Let him present a "devastating" argument which "defies logical rebuttal" and we'll see.If the argument is devastating and defies logical rebuttal, what does a title mean anyway?
A carpenter and a few fishermen from ~ 2000 years ago come to mind. Hmm...
Yep, you guessed it. Whose stories are found right here: biblegateway.com
I think that mathematical patterns and the fine tuning of the Universe are interesting evidence for an intelligent creator, but I do not think they are "absolute proof". Because they need to be interpreted to mean this or that.
And I do not see how they lead specifically to "the God of the Bible".
An individual interpretation does not establish "the absolute proof".And God has given you, and all of us, that ability to interpret. We are endowed by His own gift to observe, evaluate, and perceive not just an Intelligent Creator, but the basics of His nature...
I have no idea what you are trying to say. Try to make your point in one thought-through sentence.The ability to see only comes through *seeking* to know God more fully - with ALL of our faculties - in prayer to His Spirit, in His creation, and in His Word. This is the Father drawing us to faith in His Son - through Whose Spirit alone He reveals the Father to us.
It is then when Scripture truly comes alive - and the accuracy of His Word becomes progressively clearer in relation to ALL things - including, but certainly not limited to, science, nature, and matters of the heart.
Sitting back and dissecting God with emotional detachment, as if He were a specimen in a lab, with no desire to know Him, doesn't cut it. He is not, and will not be, fully known only through the intellect.
One who persists in willfully resisting His call to seek Him in mind, body and spirit - will remain willfully blind and deaf. And responsible for rejecting His astoundingly costly offer of grace.
He didn't lay out the universe, and all that is in it, to just entertain us, but to woo us like a suitor.
We are separated from Him by sin, and He wants us back - by invitation, not by force. Even the most stoic intellectual knows that freedom to choose is elemental to the true meaning of love.
What good does it do to finally arrive at fully defining Him on paper, if we have no desire to be with Him in Person?
Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Did he pay for it with got-it-wrong, the-father-of-evolution, Charles "The Preservation of Favoured Races" Darwin's bank note?
The one with Darwin's face on it?
Before he died and was buried in a prominent cemetery?
An individual interpretation does not establish "the absolute proof".
I believe you understand exactly what I'm saying - and are proving out the point that I made. Prove me wrong by seeking to know Him, trophy.I have no idea what you are trying to say. Try to make your point in one thought-through sentence.
Since evolution can be described mathematically...
Here's a copy of the "Home Game" you can see for yourself. Just a basic intro, but pretty sound.Bzzzz! And here's Don Pardo with a copy of the home game as a consolation prize!
