You are going to an Al Gore lover for your accessment.

The points made by this lady are regarding Hovinds speculation of how the Bible fits the evidence, and nothing to do with the evidence he presents that disputes evolution.

Hovind has repeatedly presented "evidence" so preposterous, that (as you saw yesterday), leading creationist organizations (AiG) have distanced themselves from him.

I have "evidence" of a masters from an accredited university. He doesn't, and then he tries to "Clinton" his way around the issue.

I have "evidence" for paying my taxes. He doesn't, therefore he's in trouble.

Scientists the world over have evidence supporting evolution. Hovind has a few catch phrases and a cultish following that turns a blind eye to his many frauds, lies, and scams.

The day Hovind presents some "evidence" for any one of his views, he'll be vindicated and lauded. I won't hold my breath. (the dude believes humans and dinosaurs walked side by side. Isn't that enough to discredit him right there?)

No, I'm not. The assessment of Hovind's "thesis" is quite clear and stands on its own merits, regardless of who wrote it. Anyone can check the facts and anyone who wants to defend Hovind can get a copy of the thesis and dispute the facts. Perhaps you don't have the time or funds to do it, but there a lot of organizations who would do it if there were anything to be gained.

the other source of information on Hovind's credibility and character is AIG. Their presentation is also clear and to the point. Unless you have facts to prove them liars, I suggest you read what they have to say.

As you might have noticed, I have little patience with people who misquote and misrepresent other people's work. Prove to me that AIG is distorting the truth or lying, and I will gladly apologise. Prove to me that the analysis of Hovind's thesis is factually untrue and I will apologise.

Not only will I apologise, but I will attempt to get these people to correct themselves, and I will point them out as unreliable in future threads.
