Tear Up Kent Hovind

[Lord_Xerxes]

There is no point in tearing up Hovind's arguements. This is because they are so mind boggling stupid.

Attacking all of Hovind's worthless arguements would be like shipping an entire armor division half way around the world just to run over a grass hut.

I had posteda thread about this guy about a month back suggesting that he had a bigger wall of ignorance than Darkstar. That he actually made Darkstar look mild in comparison of idiocy. And the general consensus here? He does!

I can find the official documentation for you, but basically the story goes like this. Old "Dr." Dino found out that the tenant he was renting an apartment to had a live-in boyfriend. When an angry argument broke out, the tenant shut the door in Hovind's face. He angrily barged in through the locked door, and attacked her boyfriend. The fight was on, and the girl called the police. Hovind was arrested and charged.

He apparently thought that, because it was his apartment, he could barge in whenever he pleased.

I look forward to him telling the judge that he only recognizes God's law, not American law.

Unlikely, DW. He will, however, undoubtedly argue that it's not a law -- it's "Only a theeeeory!" ROFLMAO!!!

Then he'd probably offer a $250,000 challenge to anyone who could find absolute proof that assault is a crime.

As for Patriot University, you probably don't "earn" a degree. You take one from a giant roll of toilet paper with the degree printed on the sheet. After all, suspicous credentials are a must among Creationists.

Not really. He is control of the process. It isn't like there is an impartial jury judging it. You think he's going to let himself lose a quarter million?

WTF is that all about, then? He offers it, but only in such a way that the challenge can't possibly be met? How can he get away with that?

Nobody really takes it seriously.

Its called a ruse. he makes it look like its a guenuine offer, but he and his cohorts get to decide what is and is not evidence. And the only real evidence he'll accept seems to be, "directly observe everything that's theorized to have happened over the last few billion years." Since no one can claim it, he uses to trot around saying that evolition is unsupported.

[Superman]

His entire "contest" is a strawman. You have to "prove" evolution under his definition of the word "evolution." Just another creationist cretin.

I think he is trying to copy Jim Randi's million dollar offer for demonstrating paranormal claims.
