"Because Dr. Hovind speaks over 700 times a year..."

That's from Hovind's own website, right? Amazing! Even if the good Doctor doesn't allow himself one day of rest per week, that's more than two shows a day! Who says Vaudeville is dead?

don't believe I mentioned flash flooding. Can someone raise a hand if they did?.. Anyone..

If you read the article, His first example of "a lie" was the difference in opinion on the formation of the Grand canyon. I said, thinking a "30 min." flashflood forming the canyon, was ignorant. You implied that it was entirely possible, based on what happened at Mt. St. Helens. Have you made the connection, yet?

Go back and look at the exchange. The poster claimed Hovind to be wrong without any real discussion and apparently in ignorance of the fact that Hovind does provide citation, that is why I jumped on it. Had they any first hand information on what Hovind was actually saying/presenting, they'd have known this. They did not. And it was apparent from the git go. The poster had no real argument, he merely had a slur he couldn't support and resorted to nonsensical games when pressed. It isn't my claim to support. His assertion was challenged and he couldn't back it up by debunking the citation or Hovind either one or he'd have done it. And I'm still waiting for that party to show they know the first thing about whence they speak. So far, nothing.

If you're going to be dishonest, I'm going to point it out to others. And that was just plain dishonest. If you got a problem with that - tough. If you're going to slander the guy, back it up. If you can't, shut up.

Havoc did respond to you then and will now as well. The topic was dating something using "ice rings". The examples grabbed for were used as commonly referenced errors in dating. Any number exist so it's not as though my entire opinion on the matter is lost on either or both of the examples. There are plenty to go around as any honest person would admit. The examples merely highlight the point - that all the dates are arived at by assumption - not by technical know how. The assumption is the weakest link. And the assumption is usually that there is a constant involved - be it 14C accumulation, or radioactive decay rate, etc. With "ice rings" the matter of assumption is the time period represented by the layers of ice. The specific point being that in absence of accumulation data there is absolutely no possible way to KNOW what the layers represent. And the opposition did their level best to cloud that point. They don't want it made. As for lying, well, I'll leave that to you.

There's a lot of anti-Bush websites out there too - making all sort of claims. Hmm...

I've read comments from some of the banned on other forums and they paint a very differenct picture of how events leading up to the banning took place.

Take it up with Jim Robinson. You're on his website.

I see the reference to the fountains of the deep. I think it's a misreading to see this as anything other than a source of the rain.

At any rate, looking for a naturalistic cause or naturalistic evidence of Noak's flood is nonsense. There isn't any. You accept the flood and its subsidence as a miracle or you don't. Looking for evidence makes men into fools and liars.

Actually, I speak over 700 times a year without fees. I don't even take up a collection.

The coup de grass (that's French, you know)

Yeah that "grass" again. Isn't it just like EVOS to claim truth based on so much erroneous "science"?

Coupe de grace----just so you know.

That's 'coup de grace' .

Nothing more pathetic than spelling police who get it wrong.

I wish they could see where he lives. It's a three bed room house, one level, older, with a hands on kiddie activity park in the back yard.

No, you just hate Catholics

I don't know what kind of deep seated hatred causes you to spew vitriol like that, but please seek help.

GOOD! So, despite the time and bandwidth wasted, you're finally ready to provide the citations where mainstream "scientists" said in print of the big bang that "something exploded from nothing".

Please proceed.

Get over yourself. Bleeding is a common well known example of science thinking itself smart and proving itself ignorant.

So when you claimed that you could present "Bleeding" as an actual scientific theory, you were just lying. Why can't you just admit that? Why do you have go on and on to justify making a false statement?

Got a reference to even one doctoral thesis on Piltdown Man yet, or were you just lying about it?

That's why if you ever read the crap coming out of neo-Nazi sites they don't talk about evolution and biology but they do talk an awful lot about the Creator and the Aryan race being the Creator's most perfect special creation.

The same goes for the KKK. Very God-fearing rednecks.
