Andy Holland Darwin to Jesus There's nothing about Dinosaurs existing and being alive today that would disprove evolution. We know that there was no Noachian Flood. Not primarily through science but through mythology as we know that the Bible stole the story from other traditions.
SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu I remember those things from over 40 years ago. And if I recall correctly, "Big Daddy" is basically a snuff comic. Truly vile.
SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Good news: they're low in transubstantiated fats!
SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson Professor Flynn π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu The "Dr." Kent Hovind as the source pundit always gives me a chuckle.
Rulon James Downard SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu It immediately reminds me of the funniest line I've ever heard, from his "dissertation": "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind."
Professor Flynn SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu From a methods aspect they are highly revealing: hyperbolic extremist theocratic ideology, grounded on the thin air of the likes of "Dr." Kent Hovind. Hovind never fact checked what he repeated, nor did Chick, nor do people who could take such things seriously.
Professor Flynn SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu I regard my 2018 debate with Kent youtube.com/watch?v=g1JRnnβ¦ as a feather in my methods cap, as I derailed him from his usual powerpoint patter
Rulon James Downard SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu I don't think I've seen that one! Off I go to give it a look.
Professor Flynn SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Hovind ALWAYS ends his debates with an appeal to come to Jesus ... but not in this debate with me, as I lured him into the quicksand of source issues :) Serendipitously I was aware of how Hovind had just previously cribbed wholesale a Harun Yahya post youtube.com/watch?v=oCDaESβ¦
SciP(h)er Professor Flynn J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Maybe he was copying Carl Baugh's dissertion format ...
SciP(h)er Rulon James Downard J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu I've supervised some dissertations in my day. They're always sent to at least one external reader, and none of them include a salutation from the author. Pure amateur hour.
SciP(h)er Craig Swanson Professor Flynn π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Man, I missed that one apparently. But that's silly. The Food Pyramid was build by aliens, not Big Cereal.
SciP(h)er Rulon James Downard J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu One big problem is that people like Kent have no incentive to do anything new because their audience is comprised of people like Craig who will lap up every bit of his palaver without a second thought.
SciP(h)er Professor Flynn J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Indeed. Most of Kent is cribbing old Walt Brown apologetics, which made his more recent stealing of Oktar's stuff on bird evolution stand out. Particularly hilarious was how Kent clearly hadn't read closely what he copied, or think to look up terms or how words were pronounced.
Professor Flynn SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Kent Hovind is the Donald Trump of creationism (or Trump is the Hovind of politics ... an isomorphic characterization).
SciP(h)er Rulon James Downard J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu "Academic Justification for Voluntary Inclusion of Scientific Creation in Public Classroom Curricula, Supported by Evidence that Man and dinosaurs were Contemporary" But oh my god, did Hovind copy that "hello" business from Baugh too?!
Professor Flynn SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes Craig Swanson π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Here was last week's Evo Hour installment youtube.com/watch?v=lv943tβ¦ so people can see (and that Patreon link and ones for the books all in the description ... hint hint) The Luskin bit is plowing through one by one ALL of their monster "Junk DNA is functional" list btw.
Craig Swanson Rulon James Downard SciP(h)er π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu I realize this is futile. Nevertheless... livescience.com/human-behaviorβ¦
Craig Swanson Professor Flynn SciP(h)er π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu Interesting data, how did you arrive at that? No YECer I'm aware of offers that, and that would be around 250 years earlier than the date Ussher/AiG would favor. In a short 6K time frame that wiggle room is rather big.
Craig Swanson Rulon James Downard SciP(h)er J. Williams, Boiler of Globes π¨π¦ SkepticalCanuck π¨π¦ Allister Wilbo Baggins nuu No one is saying that the Bible is a sales pitch; RJ is saying that Kent Hovind is doing one in his presentations.
