To all athiests out there: bring it on

Perhaps at first, but now he says he wouldn't answer any "ridiculous" questions.

And apparantly, any question which he can't answer is "ridiculous."

Well, one thing's for certain: he's familiar with Hovind.

 

[Doubting Thomas II]

Alright, tacoman528, let's get a few things straight. Before leaving the thread earlier today, you made a couple of specific claims (or, I should say, you lifted a couple of Hovind's claims) regarding moon dust and lunar recession. Those claims were refuted. Instead of acknowledging the posts written in response to your arguments and either retracting your statements or defending them, you have chosen to act as if nothing happened.

Now you've given us another laundry list of Hovind howlers. Bad form, young man, bad form.

You should be getting an inkling by now (fourteen pages and counting) how tedious most of us find Hovind. You could easily run a search on every one of his talking points and find out for yourself how wrong he is about virtually everything he tries to talk about. But I don't get the impression that you are that honest or ambitious. So you are going to mindlessly spew Hovind's arguments in page after excrutiating page and then declare victory if the rest of us don't chase our tails, doing your work for you. Pretty pathetic, kid.

If you want to get taken seriously, quit acting like a deluded YEC Christbot and take your science education more seriously than Hovind does. Otherwise, don't be surprised if the gloves come off. You won't be able to hide behind Hovind or your age if willful idiocy becomes the issue.

To notto's other question,
hahaha that's funny, Hovind couldn't have said that because I've definetly heard him publicly oppose it. It actually makes him quite mad, that subject I mean. And AIDS has been scientifically proven to have originated in Africa when the natives ate uncooked ape meat. I'm sorry to say that that source is invalid.

"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."

Something worth checking out tacoman528:

AIG is a creationist organization that has differences with Hovind. Since these people are christians and creationists you might want to read what they have to say about Hovind.

Okay, I had got to page four and hadn't seen much for Biblical evidence. Where are all the Christians.....where is the original poster with his evidence and reasonable explanations. Except for willowwolf comments on page four(keep in mind I haven't read further), I haven't heard anything solid. So even though I am an amateur in the area of "Bible vs. Science", I'll wing it. Don't get me wrong, I have done quite a bit of study on these things, but theology and escatology are my forte' and with those areas I write my own studies. So with that in mind, even though I done the study, I have nothing original to bring to the table. So you'll have to deal with web addresses to the comments of others.

I'll start with the last comments I read about Noah's ark not being a scientifically feasible situation.

For an answer to most all such comments see here...

I will have to come back later and continue with rebuttals to the other comments I've seen, but for now it's sleep time......zzzzz

Accepting everything in the above article for the sake of argument, what did the carnivores eat? If we assume that they had enough to eat for the time on the ark, what did they eat at the end of that time?

What population of herbivores is needed to support 1 carnivore? Most carnivore groups (say a pack of 8 lions) make a kill once every 3 days in the wild. If we say that each carnivore needed to kill once every 24 days (this asumes the meat all keeps fresh enough to eat, obviously) then there must have been a huge number of extinctions of 'kinds' as any killing of one animal would have ended that kind (only 1 male and 1 female). The only possible way round this would be if animals only every killed the male after he had impregnated the female and went around killing males of different kinds rather than returning to feed on the female or her young. I do not have the maths for it, but I am pretty sure someone can do an analysis on showing how infeasible even such a ridiculous scenario as that would be.

To Annabel Lee,
The fact that you don't believe is okay, you are entitled to your own opinion. I just don't really understand why.
The question of whether your a christian or not is not determined by whether you believe in evolution or not.

Why thank you.

Its whether you believe that Jesus Christ is God and that he came to earth and died for your sins so you could go to heaven. Once you've acknowledged that and made that prayer of inviting him into your life, you're part of the family. That is the most important thing. Once you have done that, It is my, and people who believe like me, job to show you (I'm sorry for sounding intolerant) the truth.

Dear child, I already have the truth. You assume way too much. I will leave you to your self importance.
God Bless you

After a brief search, African wild dog packs (of betwen 4 and 12) feed once a day, so that makes it even tougher for our herbivores fresh off the ark...

That article answers none of the questions so far (well, maybe Humanista's).

What about my Flood questions from post #28 (I even clarified in post #38).

Still waiting for answers...

 

[adam332]

Couldn't leave just yet I saw some comments on AIDS that caught my eye. And I will have to say that actually tacoman's comments come from the University of Alabama's theory, that AIDS was first contracted when some humans ate ape meat. Actually there is no evidence of that being the source at all. It seems that HIV in Humans is nearly identical to some which have been found in apes(SIV) but there is NO reason to assume that's where it began. This is because apes got it too, in other words we could have gave it to them as much as they did us. This is one of many species that can transfer some diseases to some other species. The question isn't who had it first or who gave it too who, the question is who gave it to either of us. Supposing apes contracted it first and tranfered it to humans, well.... who was the ape case zero and where did he get it what exactly transferred it to him. Many scientists believe that humans and apes have been tranferring HIV back and forth for at least 5 decades.

Here's another question about the Flood and animals from Noah's Ark.

How did such a limited selection of animals (only 2 of every "kind") overcome the problems of inbreeding (not to mention other all the other detrimental factors, environmental and otherwise) to produce the healthy, diverse populations we observe today?

Goddidit.

To Nathan,
I't sure is nice to have you around scoffing at everything tacoman says without laying down ANYTHING! Of your own

Yes, it is rather amusing.

Seriously, there isn't that much to add, except that it's an old ventriloquist act that we've all seen many times before. Tacoman's lips are moving, but Kent Hovind's words are coming out. And refuting Hovind's arguments with logic and scientific evidence would be like knocking down a sand castle with a H-bomb.
Besides, it's already been done to death.

As soon as tacoman comes up with an original idea that has not already been dismantled on these boards, I will be happy to give it whatever attention it deserves.
Which, by the way, is what I've been doing with his/Hovind's ideas this whole time: Giving them what they deserve.

 

[What is a Darwin?]

To Annabel,
I'm sure you are usually a very err... interesting person.

 

[What is a Darwin?]

To Nathan,
O I C, I guess the pro scoffer is just to smart and intelligent like to even backup his own statements against the youngin.. the way to bold little upstart. At least tacoman has some sources, where are yours?

 

[ocean]

Hovind does not count as a source.

 

[ocean]

WIAD,

You're only 16. I don't think you're ready to debate here on this forum.

 

[What is a Darwin?]

to ocean,
just as much as things these other people come up with

Yeah that is completely correct it is very weird that there is people that act as if he is a scientist.

Hovind is just another CrackPot.
