Thanks for your work there.

"you mean like his "theory" that the grand canyon was created in a 30 minute flashflood?"

Thirty minutes, perhaps. It could have taken several hours. The waters from the deep (Genesis chs. 6 and 7) completely deluged the earth in 40 days.

You do not even desire that God speak to you, do you? The same God that cut the Grand Canyon in 30 to 180 minutes wants you to know Him.

Something taking place in a 30 to 180 minute time span within 10,000 years ago...God. Not difficult to comprehend.

Something happening in a 10 million year period, billions and billions of years ago...Darwinian evolutionist. Wild guesses.

Actually, I was not addressing his tax returns when I mentioned the strawmen that creationists like to make, so your reply to me is nonsensical. Next time try not making things up. :)

For all we know it could be Hovind himself with a dozen different screen names.

If you checked his schedule, you'd know where he was and what he was doing almost 24/7.

And he wouldn't waste time arguing with a bunch of evo's who are too chicken to debate him in person while all they can do is copy and paste from internet sites.

" Oh, you mean like this one... see posts leading up to 180.."

The origins of life are not a part of the theory of evolution, no matter how many times you say it.

[b_sharp]

The problem with Hovind's offer is that he gets to choose the judges and includes his 'six forms of evolution' most of which have nothing to do with biological evolution. Simply put, his challenge is rigged.

We want him to participate in a written debate where his sound bites and appeals to emotion will hold no sway and where the debate follows the evidence.

[sirchtruth]

The ToE does not say that any organism from one Class would ever evolve into an organism from another Class in one generation.

Right, I don't think you fully grasped my point. Evolution has to be a belief, it has to be a theory in even laymans terms because science can not show it happening, they can not demonstrate it, nor recreate it in a labratory...You can not say we have a theory that man evolved from a fish and call that fact without obsevervable proof, like say gravity, that works everytime it's tested. Evolution at best, is ONLY speculation.

You're the one creating a strawman by ignoring the fact that evolution is NOT fact, but only a guess. Yeah, evolution collects what evidence from different fields? Maybe a PIG BONE and points to it as evidence of a man's? You mean surefire evidence like that?

And let me add, Evolution is not only speculative, it's an illogical conclusion to most of the evidence.

[Gumlegs]

The responses of the "evolutionists" also employ much better spelling.

Be fair. It could be an artifact of having a working "s" key.

Are you going to answer my post #559. I am really curious.

[Full Court]

has been found by the IRS to take $ 1 million + per annum

Man Peyton, you are a huge liar!!!

The IRS complained that SINCE 1997 his ministry, which includes voluntary offerings taken at churches, sales from the books and other materials he writes and produces and income from his Dino Land have earned $1 million. That's in 8 years time. And of course there is no mention of the funds spent paying Staff, and plowed back into the ministry.

Why would you lie about the guy so bad????

[eleni121]

No need to review ... "religious folk" clearly know where the hate lies.

More to the point is that the monopoly that evolution holds over academia warps the research that should be going on.

Evo theory has cornered the market so to speak on new ways of looking at life on earth. Further, the gaps, illogical leaps, outright lies in the field of evolution has undermined what real science - a science not cahined to secularism - could be doing. Evos have decided that undermining Christian origin beliefs is their primary mission. Very sad that science has deteriorated to this low point.

[b_sharp]

"I have no problem with people believing in evolution, but not at the expence of them touting it as fact. Also, Hovind gives just as logical explanation for life as any evolutinist I've ever heard...The problem is evo's can't stand the compitition.

Hovind distorts, bends, ignores and abuses the laws of physics to develop his 'science'. He shows an incredible lack of understanding of the basics. His science is anything but science.

[Baraonda]

"Its understood just fine"

Of course it's understood. The footnote has nothing to do with the offer itself. The terms of the public offer are very specific and it deals with evolution, despite the evolutionsts denying it. The footnote(s) were added by the person attacking the offer and offeror.

It is also understood just fine that my quote at #201 was a quote and not my own writing, which I shall report here, despite all my innumerable links to the original. The quote and the precedent text to it, announcing what follow is a quote - ie, "reads" is in its entirety. The quotes lacks of the end quote, and it was attributed to me, which, as is now well known, it's not. No other text follows the quote.

Post #201 follows:

The offer reads in part: "Creationist Kent Hovind has widely publicized his "standing offer" to pay $250,000 for scientific evidence of evolution. He argues that the "failure" of anyone to claim the prize is evidence that the "hypothesis" of evolution is not scientific but religious in nature. What is the real meaning of Hovind's challenge?

Ah, you pinged me twice with a reply to the same statement I made about creationist strawmen.

"If you want to dance, ask someone else."

Not with you I don't. :)

"I was just asking for consistency and you and your ilk give me spin. The MSM would be proud."

We gave you consistency, but you can't handle it. :)

600?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

He didn't give details on how the creation was made. And frankly, if the evidence of the physical creation contradicts Genesis, I'll believe the physical creation.
