Dinosaurs and Evangelism

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones...

At 2 hr 37 min 36 sec that clip is far too long. Looking at the associated website, Creation Science Evangelism, I see that Dr. Dino will be spreading misinformation in my neck of the woods next week.

And get a load of this: Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings Volume 1

Quote:

Follow the journey of secret societies from England to the New World and learn of their "ancient hope" of establishing a democratic commonwealth that would one day extend to all nations. In the 16th century, Sir Francis Bacon was at the helm of such societies as the leader of the Rosicrucians and the first Grand Master of modern Freemasonry. As such, he is considered by some to be the true founder of America.

Listening to him say "National Pornographic" was kind of funny. The next five minutes were just "Wow", and I just stopped there.

I liked the "Noah brought baby T-rexes on the Ark" part.

I managed 8 minutes 32 seconds before my brain imploded.

Didn’t the Daily Show play a clip from the guy making some kind of argument about how we don’t see anyone make a watch and we didn’t see god create us, therefore god must have created us?

I was watching the video and simultaneously writing a post here. I asked those that have seen it, as a joke, if he said that dinosaurs got extinct because they couldn't fit in the arc.

And then it happened.

I think I got a good 15 minutes in...what website do I go to to get that time back in my life??

A mere 3 minutes 3 seconds here. You have a Brain Of Steel.

You have to give it to him though. He says:

1)Lizzards grow bigger during their whole life.
2)Pre-flood, everybody lived 900 years.
3)So, pre-flood, there were lizzards that grew for 900 years: Dinosaurs!
4)During the flood, Noah managed to get only the small lizzards, which we have today, and not the big ones.

From a formalistic-yet-completely-stupid point of view, it's kind of impressive.

I once isolated my pinky toe in a time-warp nexus, and I watched it age in hyperspeed from fleshy digit to crumbling ash. 900 years later (9 minutes in real-time) it evolved into a small star.

This guy owned the evolutionist wackos.

Atheists don’t even know how many animals were brought on the arc or how big the Ark was! LOL! How can they say there were to many animals!
Ownage!

There was no Oxygen, but the rocks absorbed it!
Ownage!

Everyone used to live for 900 years and Reptiles keep growing.
Ownage!

Poking around google, it appears that Lewis Black has some choice things to say about Hovind: Evolution, Shmevolution, Part III

I also found this clip,

">Ali G versus Creationists, featuring Hovind, which should be funny.

Um, yeah, Ali G takes the conversation in strange directions. [lol]

14 minutes, before my conscience told me to close it; here is the transcript.

Thevenin: Hi Thevenin
Me: Hi!
Thevenin: Your big bang theory sucks more then my God theory.
Me: Who says I believe in the big bang theory?
Thevenin: Your an athiest...
Me: So...
Thevenin: So... Kent Hovind says since your an athiest you believe in the big bang!
Me: Kent Hovind is an idiot.
Thevenin: Why are you watching his show then?
Me: Good point.

Once I saw the name Kent Hovind, I resolved to never watch that video in the course of my natural life. I've heard this guy ramble on all too much in my time -- unfortunately, my father is a fan of good 'ole Kent, and I used to be mercilessly subjected to these lectures.

Bummer! According to Examining "Dr. Dino", It should be noted that many of his fellow young-earthers consider him to be an embarrasment and that many of his arguments can be found in Arguments we think creationists should NOT use published by the young-earth creationist organization Answers in Genesis.

Well it's interesting and surprisingly well thought out. He does take some liberties with the facts (but who doesn't). Interesting take on dinosaurs and dragons.

2 hours of that is way too long though.

@Sandman, Fruny, Mattman, and Thevenin: 40 minutes and 45 seconds.

I love the fact that he argues that the National Geographic writer didn't ask every person who ever lived before stating that no one has ever seen a dinosaur, then proceeds to state the fact that only 3% of the Earth is inhabitable. This sounds like it could be true, but by the man's own logic, he'd better get some boots and a backpack and start surveying every square inch of this planet before he can be sure.

Using an "empirical data only" epistemology puts you at the level of an infant whose world disappears when they close their eyes. For a grown man to do that is just dumb or hilarious, but for a "doctor" to use it as a double standard against dissenters shows you just how desperate this man is to retain his beliefs.

As you can see, I only made it a few minutes in before stopping. I keep hoping that the Creationism side of the debate will come up with some real arguments one of these days, but I continue to be disappointed.

Actually by the that logic, the good Doctor has effectively annhiliated every religion and respective Deity in Earth's history. Guess why.

I did some research a while ago. Hovind is a nutjob who makes Jack Thompson look sane.
