2. life spontaneously arose from nonliving minerals

That is one of several theories of how life arose taught in most biology classes. I note the author forgot to mention the others. Maybe it would have given a more balanced picture to have stated all the ideas. But then of course it would have been harder to slant the article.

4. natural selection has creative power.

I'd say it does. Usually ugly people marry and have ugly children. Sorry, but the fruit does not fall far from the gene pool

The most destructive element in the human mind is fear.

Hovind is the best. Unfortunately--not good enough.

Three of four of your "evolutionary assumptions" are creationist strawmen. The only one you got right was that the universe is billions of years old.

Wow. This article is false on so many levels that I don't know where to begin.

I mean, couldn't you quote a source that at least pretends to be honest?

The theory of evolution requires a billions-of-years old universe? It requires that life arose from nonliving materials? Obviously someone who has no understanding of the theory of evolution came up with that garbage.

The oldest known historical records are less than 6000 years old. (1, p. 160)

That would be news to my cousin, who is working on an archeological dig in Eastern Serbia involving a culture that is at least 8,000 years old.

The Sahara desert is expanding. It easily could have been formed in a few thousand years. See any earth science textbook.

Dr (and I use the term loosely) Hovind has bought in to the environmentalists version of desertification. Deserts both expand and contract.

Of course the 11,000 old cresote bush must by Dr (and I use the term loosely) Hovind's analysis pre-date creation.

Let's not forget that the world was flat when the Bible was written

Hovind is certifiably crazy.
