I always think that it's cute when a site selling books, tapes and
videos calls it's price a 'suggested contribution.'

Among the other notable findings in the 350-page
report: that none of the researchers would ever have
those years back again; that many of the researchers'
friends had established lucrative private-sector careers,
gotten married and started families; and that extreme
irritability, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite
would result if any of the researchers ever heard the
word "dichlorobenzene" again.

That's what you have to do in order to by into
Hominids BS.

Probably not. Does the idiot still claim that all
you have to do to grow a dinosaur is to raise a
lizard in a hyperbaric chamber?

No thanks. It's probably the same stupidity
that's been refuted before:

The same ankerberg that had a program on that stated the Star Wars movies were
a part of a concpiracy (New Age) against god.
May the farce be with you.

I found it vaguely interesting, since it was the first time I've ever seen
anything like a creationist speaker in action. I didn't get very far into it
though. I listened to him make out evolution as the 'religion of the
humanists' and working up some rightious indignation in the crowd. I watched
him talk about how he wanted to point out some lies in public school
textbooks, and then go on to discuss the Grand Canyon in a spectacular show
of irony.
His argument that the Grand Canyon was formed by the flood: the source of
the river in the canyon is higher than the top of the canyon, thus the
'evolutionist' must think the river flowed uphill for millions of years.
Obviously ridiculous right?
Yes, obviously ridiculous. Actually the river has always been at basically
the same elevation (AFAIK). The plains around it have risen *up* over millions
of years. The 'evolutionists' (i.e. geologists) don't believe the river ever
flowed uphill.
Hovind claims that the Grand Canyon was carved in minutes by the flood. He
claims, in particular, that carving by the flood would produce the "same
hole". This is a lie. Firstly, the walls of the canyon are too steep. If
the canyon was carved in soft sediments they would not be hard enough to
form such steep canyon walls. If the sediments were hard rock then they
could not have been carved out rapidly. Secondly, the canyon forms a
network of tributaries including meandering paths-- the kind of paths taken
by ordinary flowing rivers, not by rapid floodwaters. The geology of the
Grand Canyon is very different from that which we see in other places where
there *has* been rapid flooding in the past.
After he returned to carping to his audience with his stories of calf-pullers
and stupid "city slickers" I gave up on him.
If you don't get bored I think it might be interesting to watch, especially
for someone who has been on t.o. for a while. I strongly suspect that
Hovind's other arguments would be similarly transparent to someone who has
been exposed to them already. It might be instructive to watch him avoid
mentioning the contradictions to his assertions.
Oh yes, I also liked his claim that he offered $10000 for "any scientific
proof of Evolution", when really his 'offer' is more like $10000 for anyone
who can convince *me* (i.e. Hovind) that evolution is true... an impossible
and basically pointless task.
