What are you trying to do then?

I thought I made that clear already. "I post articles to get reactions".

The reaction is very telling. It speaks volumes. :)

Go to biker bars and slap people in the face. You'll find the reaction very telling. :)

The correct translation would be 'organize'.
I wonder if he would work on my inventory a while.

Mike, my buddy, you must realize I have never suggested I support either the old or young earth theories. If you ever read my posts you would know I have also never stated the Bible must be taken literally or not.

I post articles to get reactions. When I post an article it doesn't mean I agree with it in whole or even in part, unless I say I agree with this part or that part.

See how that works, you read what I say I believe rather that making assumptions... It works better that way. :)


Jeeze are you a piece of work.

go the fuck away you forum trolling prick. :eek:

How very christian of you, deary.

Oh, was that a metaphor? You think you are driving trucks over people in the forum? You do tend to overestimate yourself. I think "irritating mosquito" might be more apt, no?

What's even funnier than that... Is that Dr. Kent Hovind, leader in the field of Creation Science Evangelism, thinkts that T-Rex's were so weak that any person could just walk up to it and pull off one of the small arms. He claimed people did this "all the time" leading to their death/extinction. :eek:

Briana Dawson


Huh....?
Please tell me this Hovind guy is satirical :eek:

I'm trying to dream up a motive for widespred T-Rex arm ripping. The predecessor of cow tipping? The original hot wings? Boomerangs? Back scratchers? Something one hung on the rearview mirror of their Flintstone car?

Even in a fantasyland where t-rex and humans coexisted, wouldn't people have trouble reaching the arms? Did they use a ladder? Trick the dino into bending down by luring him with a carrot or a veggie-brachiosaurus burger?

Oh, he has an entire video dedicated to the topic. He includes T-Rex's and Dragon's in the same category as being driven extinct by man.

See, not all T-Rex's are giant. He has a theory on "reptiles", which basically states something like this:

Reptiles never stop growing as they age, therefore in the time of Noah when people lived hundreds of years (like 600-900 years), well so did the animals. And since reptiles never stop growing, they would grow to these colossal sizes, i.e. T-Rex's. And now since god made it so the things on Earth don't live as long as they used to, we never get to see reptiles of these colossal sizes because they have such miniscule lifespans in comparison now.

The world according to Dr. Kent Hovind.

You did say it. You didn't quote an article, you stated that the Bible was the literal word of God. And I responded by showing it couldn't be, because it contradicted itself. It was in one of those long threads where you were bashing Catholics. Not that that's terribly specific, though.

Oh right. That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You have so many posts.

You said it Kevn. I remember. I am sure others remember as well.

But you know what.. You probably know that you said it and are asking for the quote just to continue the little forum troll game you play.

"Our purpose is to strengthen people's faith in the Creator and His Word.
By faith in what God has revealed through His Holy scriptures, we believe that God created the world in six 24-hour days about 6000 years ago and that science supports this claim. We believe that the Creator is Jesus Christ and we desire that all men come to know Him."

Scientists base their beliefs on the evidence they find around them. They don't search for evidence to give support for the pre-conceived beliefs.

These "experts" are not scientists.

what I find funny about all this, Jesus is not God and isn't the "Creator" Jesus was God's son. so thier own beliefs are out of touch.

Daily Journal




BY CHARITY GORDON


Daily Journal


STARKVILLE - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," and 6,000 years later, according to a society at Mississippi State University, scientists will gather to prove it.


The Society for the Advancement of Creation Science, whose purpose is "to strengthen people's faith in the Creator and his Word," will hold its first lecture series July 17-20 at Dorman Hall Auditorium on MSU's campus. Worship starts at 6:30 each evening, and the lectures will begin at 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public.


Dr. John Sanford, who will present the July 17 lecture, is the primary inventor of the gene gun process. His research has been used to engineer most of the world's transgenic crops.


"My talk will be for non-specialists," Sanford said. "I will show that evolutionary theory - mutation plus natural selection equals evolution - can be conclusively shown to be false."


In his lecture, Sanford will show that if the evolutionary theory were true, then humans would be degenerating, not evolving, as a species.


"Mutations cause genetic degeneration, and selection can slow, but cannot stop, this degenerative process," he said.


Sanford says as a Christian and a scientist he had dodged the question of evolution for a long time.


"I just avoided the issue in my head and imagined God created through evolution," he said.


Sanford says as he later considered the non-evolutionary perspective, examining the scientific evidence for creationism, he was impressed.


"Since then, I have seen rapidly growing evidence supporting the biblical view," he said. "Unfortunately, this evidence is largely suppressed through the media and schools so only the determined seekers find it."


Dr. Mark Horstemeyer, who holds a chair position in mechanical engineering at MSU, hopes the lecture series will help raise the next generation of Christian faculty members.


Upcoming scientists "can do research with a biblical frame of reference," Horstemeyer said, "in the same spirit as the great scientists Pascal, Kelvin, Faraday and Newton. A rational God created a rational universe. We've gotten away from that over the last 100 years or so."


The other lectures include "Thousands, Not Billions - Radioisotope Evidence for a Young World" July 18 by Dr. Russell Humphreys, a retired nuclear physicist; "Tectonic Catastrophe and the Geologic Record" July 19 by Dr. John Baumgardner, a retired Los Alamos geophysicist; and "Evidences for Recent Geological Catastrophe" July 20 by Dr. Steve Austin, a professor of geology at the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, Calif.

Well you do know that experts who testify at trials and hearing are paid to assert positions consistent with those of thier employers. For $5000 a day, or more, I can find you an expert who will say that we do not know the moon is not made of green cheese.

I've enjoyed watching ALL of the Kent Hovind videos. I really have never laughed so hard (since the first season of the Chapelle show).

I know I should have let this thread rest in peace, but I just stumbled over this article concerning Mr. Hovind.... it's just too funny to not share it :D

http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060718/NEWS01/607180319/1006

Looks like the man is charged with 58 federal offences. :eek:
