What's your favorite Hovind quote?

[warispeace]

Really? I did email him once about where he taught (since he claims to have 15 years teaching experience). I'd be surprised if he read it on the air since it wasn't much of a question.

Yep. That was the question. I can pm you the link, if he's still got the MP3 up on his site.

I just thought of another one. He was frustrated that everyone keeps saying that there's not enough water for a total flood. So he claimed that a single drop of water would be enough to cover the earth if the ground was flat enough.

A single freaking drop.

 

[Logic]

That's probably false even if you go down to the atomic level.

I'm bloody sure it is!

You couldn't make this stuff up, could you?

Any of you with l33t math $killz want to do the calculations? Say we give a generous 15 ml drop of water, multiply by the moles/ml to get the total number of H2O molecules, then spread them out over a perfectly even 25,000 mile in circumferance sphere. If it wouldn't cover (which I think it won't) what would the density of the molecules be?

 

[Non-Sequitur]

Edit: Sorry, I misread the question.

 

[Logic]

15 ml water ~ 15 grams (special condition for water)



molar mass of water = 18.015 g/mole



(15 g) / (18.015 g/mol) ~ .83 / mol^-1 = .83 mols



.83 mol * nA ~ 5.0 E 23 molecules.



A water molecule has an area of ~ 10 A^2



10 A^2 = 10^-19 m^2



5.0 E 23 molecules * 10^-19 m^2 = 50,000 m^2 in 15 mL of water.



SA of Earth ~ 510,066,000 km^2 = 5.1066 E 14 m^2



Hovind is way off!



5.10066 E 14 / 50,000 = (1.02 E 10 times as much water is needed)



Hovind was off by a factor of 10213200000.

 

[Logic]

Someone should probably check my work though, it could be wrong.

Sure, that'd be cool.

I'm sorry but hovind is correct. A single drop can flood the Earth.





But boy howdy what a big drop it is.

I like his saying:

"I have 700 anti-Hovind websites... I'm so proud of myself".

I'm glad he has opposition. I must admit - if he didn't have any opposition - I would be worried.

Mark 13:13
" And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

 

[Arikay]

So you support Hovind?

 

[Jet Black]

true. if everyone agreed with him, science would go right up the spout. Hovin'd science is on a par with TimeCube man.

It's on par with the timecube, but it feels like That-website-that-thankfully-is-blocked-here. .

 

[PhantomLlama]

I still get the most laughs out of the one in my sig. It's so...stupid.

 

[scrawny]

Yes I do support Hovind. He certainly has the blessing of God on his ministry and most of his teachings are very biblical.

Although, I was a bit dumbstruck when I saw him on the TV show - "Ali G in da house".

Oh well...


John 3:20 - 21
"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

 

[Mistermystery]

It's okay to lie, if you are lieing for God. It's okay to murder, if you murder for God. It's okay to steal, if you are stealing for God. Wow this is quite easy.

Anyways, welcome to the forums new guy. I hope you learn something here. I seriously hope you do.

I'm in the habit of listening to 'Dr.' Hovind's Creation Science Hour radio program. It's something of a guilty pleasure. Mostly for comic relief. He says so many dumb things every show that I lose track of them. I was listening to him today refuting the fact that some of the earliest human civilizations, the Egyptians, etc., should have pre-dated the flood. His argument was that the people of Noah were so smart that advanced, densely-populated cities would pop up overnight. And then, later, he claimed that cyanide was a cure for cancer, and the only reason people don't know about it is that there's a global conspiracy to keep it a secret. I laughed so hard I choked.

What's your favorite dumb/humorous/forehead-slappingly ignorant Hovind quote or argument?

The humans that lived with dinosaurs one? did he say that? Totally dumb. I cant beleive this guy was a science teacher!! I read a website of his the other day. It said his mission was to bring people to God via the theory of creationism. I would have ran the other way. And whats all that rubbish about the flood itself? I guess God blesses these sorta people too :shrug:

Hey,

I was a bit dumbstruck when I saw him on the TV show - "Ali G in da house".

Had to unlurk to respond to this. When did Hovind appear on Ali G?

Thanks,

*relurks*

hey,he can make millions off the backs of people who buy his lies.... infact I'd might want to give this a shot as well..
