Creationist and Evolution thropper Dr. Kent Hovind now has a internet
radio program that is on every weekday from 1pm-2pm called "The
Creation Scince Hour." I myself am a young earth Creationist Christian
who will debate and defend the Bible at all cost. I have seen many
websites and chat rooms that think they have evidence for evolution
and they are all (rubbish)debateable to me. These sites claim they
could kill Hovind in a debate. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!!! The main
purpose of Hovind's Radio Program (I think) is to get athiest(which
God doesn't believe exist) to call in and to show them there is no
evidence exist for evolution, which none does exist, and to strenghin
my faith and those of my blood brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.
He still has his $250,000 reward for concrete evidence for evolution.

Including, no, *especially* outright lying and general bufoonery, if you
are a Hovind fan.

I wonder how long it's going to take ya'll to get the idea this is doing
just the opposite?

God told you this?

What if a Christian called in instead?

That's Hovind's job, isn't it? Granted he sucks at it, but...

And he is still unable to defend *any* proposition using the same set of
rules, up to and including the sun rising in the west in the morning. I
wonder when his fans are going to stop being impressed by that sham?

I call troll. There's *way* too many ironic mistakes and obvious
opportunities for jokes to be accidental. Then, after he spouts the "blood
brothers" line and claims to be familiar with evolutionary defenses, he
drags up the tired old $250,000 reward hogwash. At best, he'll make a
couple passing replies but will probably disappear forever.

No, blaming guns for all *deaths* would be like assigning causation of
Rosie's size to spoons. Those would be two instances of taking instruments
capable of assisting in a task and claiming they cause the task to be
performed. But any way you put it, it's a bad analogy. But that was the
point wasn't it?

"Debateable", huh? O.K. Give it your best shot:
<http://www.ebonmusings.org/evolution/evoevidence.html>
<http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-research.html>
Remember, if you want to cast doubt on evolution, then you have to
have an alternate explanation for *all* the evidence. Which means
that you first have to show an UNDERSTANDING of the evidence. To help
you with that understanding, there is this:

<http://www.evolutionhappens.net/>

Good luck!
(Also, please remember that "ignorance" is not a valid reason to
abandon science. Please do not display ignorance in your debate.
Thank you.)

little to recommend them. I mean Hovind. Because he presents ideas that

Websites and chatrooms. Ever seen a classroom or a science
book?

>and they are all (rubbish)debateable to me.

Great. This is just the place to debate them. Go for it.
What aspects of which bits of evidence for evolution do
you dispute, and why? Why should the scientists agree with
you? Show us. Be very specific, with citations of the
actual evidence. If you need a few example to start, see:

http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-evolution.html

and its links

These sites claim they
>could kill Hovind in a debate. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!!!

Sites would have a hard time debating [they don't talk].

The main

Then it sounds like the belief's mutual?

to call in and to show them there is no
>evidence exist for evolution,

Umm, you do know that evolutionary biology isn't
about atheism? Plenty of devout theists are "evolutionists"

But Hovind has a weird definition of Evolution which is unlike anyone
else in the world. He even includes the big bang in evolution along with the
formation of the stars. Is this honest.

From the website.
* NOTE:
When I use the word evolution, I am not referring to the minor variations
found in all of the various life forms (microevolution). I am referring to
the general theory of evolution which believes these five major events took
place without God:

1.. Time, space, and matter came into existence by themselves.
2.. Planets and stars formed from space dust.
3.. Matter created life by itself.
4.. Early life-forms learned to reproduce themselves.
5.. Major changes occurred between these diverse life forms (i.e., fish
changed to amphibians, amphibians changed to reptiles, and reptiles changed
to birds or mammals).
[end]

Can you tell me why a honest man would include lines 1 and 2.
Note that 3 is abiogenesis not evolution.

Isn't it amazing how a creature that I don't believe exists doesn't believe
that I exist? Is he in a foxhole or something, cause we all know that
"athiests" don't exist in foxholes.

Debate?
Let's debate gravity.
You be against it and I'll be for it.
I'll let you win and we'll all float away happy.

Compare Randi's million dollar challenge with Hovinds, then get back to us.

You have a theory? Last I checked, Hovind had some amazing buffonery to
attempt to justify his own favorite reading of his favorite brand of
mythology. That's not even up to the level of "wild assed guess," much
less theory as science uses it.

Even the title is a lie. Didn't you notice this? Or do you care?

Why don't *you* attempt to defend your alleged theory - using Hovind's
rules? Review them carefully and tell me if you think it would be
possible.

Hell, as a bonus, such a thing would undoubtedly fulfill the Randi
Foundation's Supernatural Challenge - and it's worth four times what
Hovind's is - and you can even confirm that the money exists, unlike
Hovind's. Quite a deal, eh? Makes you wonder why Hovind never tried it.

(Remember you'll have to come up with a real Theory of Creation, too.
Don't worry that you'll be the first - I'm SURE you're up to the task.)

Why didn't you answer the question, what does 1 (Big Bang Theory) have
to do with Darwin's theory. The fact is that Hovinds offer is just a scam
and the people who follow this guy are supporting it. Do you agree that a
person explaining evolution should also have to explain the Big bang Theory?

I'll play. I ask now to fight you finest soldger(as with David and
Goliath). Give me your ONE best shot of evidence you think best proves
your theory. Give my your best shot. I'm here. I ain't disapearing.
Put up or repent(don't be a coward). Here's mine.

Explane how cloraphil came into existance. The earth is an open
system getting its energy from the sun's light. The sun's light is
destructive to everything on earth but cloraphil. One Cell from a
plant is more complex then an entire city. The bibles explination
appears to work scientificly.

When in rome, do as the romans, just spam the entire talk.origins site.

OK, here's a theory:

The theory is that the earth moves through space.

Is there anybody out there who can give their one best shot of
evidence for that theory?

That the earth turns on its axis is just the "micro-" version
of the "moving earth" theory. What I want is evidence for the
"macro-" version of the theory.

Did you?!

Many schools have only one or two students for there PHD program and
they work out of someones house. There's nothing wrong with that. The
house people put on there websites Hovinds never been in. Check his
website. By the way, Innocent til proven guilty, the burden of proof
is on your sholders. Don't give me any links to any third party.

Burden of proof isn't on me. Have you yourself called in to see if you
could get a crack at the $250,000 grand. Until Put-up or shut-up,
repent.

I'm still waiting for a good scientific theory from the evolutionist.

The theory from 10 years ago is different from the one today. Don't
put it in the text books if it will be pulled out later.

My theory is just as religious as yours.

That's trivial. Biological evolution, by definition, starts after the

No, you *cannot* come up with anything substantial, never mind anything

As you well know, your statement is false: you have purposefully told
a lie. The true reason that you can't state any reason for calling

Those links contain many references to the actual scientific literature.
Y',know, the papers that present and discuss all that evidence stuff and
its interpretation.

How sweet. You try it first.

(if that's what
>you claim you do). Give me you ONE best shot that proves Evolution.

Why just one? The evidence is there, throughout biology. If you want
me to generalize about the most compelling type of evidence for common
descent, it's the "twin" [really multiple] nested hierarchical patterns
seen throughout the groups of life. Group within groups, within groups,
within groups. Why such all-pervasive patterns? Evolution explains and
requires them, creationism really can't and basically doesn't.

It's science, and belongs in the science books and science classrooms.
It's very well supported by all the available evidence. If new evidence
requires modifying parts of the current version of the science, we will.
That's how science works.

Anyway, what exactly do you mean by "Then show me how evolution is
true." Show you that the genetic makeup of populations of organisms
can and does change over generations? [the basic definition of
"evolution"]. It's observed to happen and easily demonstrated. Show
you that new traits can arise in an evolving lineage? It's also
observed to happen, and also readily demonstrated.

Show you that new species can arise from an ancestral species? [the
minimal definition of "macroevolution"]. It's observed to happen. Show
you that groups of related species can arise from a common ancestral
species? [also macroevolution]. It's well supported by very strong
evidence. Show you that all known groups of life have arisen from
early common ancestors? The common origin of all life is also supported
by strong evidence, but that particular result wasn't any requirement
of the idea of evolution. We could have found that there were
independent types of life, but it simply wasn't the case.

So, then, how are we supposed to show you any or all of these things
without referring to links? Would you prefer citations of textbooks
you should read, or the original scientific journal articles that
reported the findings? Have you access to a university library?

cheers

Sorry, my miscommunication. At the last post I thought you were
asking me to intoduce you to hovind. My fault. If you don't think God
exists and he doesn't think you exist, You better spend a good deal of
time thinking if your intelect has the power to cast you to hell. God
has the intelect to do that to you. Be patient, he's right beside you

Give me a logical reason why I should stop defending my faith and stop
attacking your "FAITH". If your faith is so scientific and accurate,
SHOW ME SOME OF YOUR STOOPID EVIDENCE, COWARDS. I've asked several

"Defending" is an odd term for screaming incoherently. Do you have your own

You have been pointed to the evidence which you refuse to read (which is
part and parcel of your general reseach habits - if you bothered to take
your spelling of "cloriphil" to http://www.m-w.com/home.htm and entered it,
it would have easily given you the correct spelling).

Why should we bother talking to somebody with their fingers knuckle deep in
their ears and humming the 1812 Overture at the top of their lungs? Read
the websites you've been pointed to or, better yet, go to a library and
read some small portion of the thousands of books containing the evidence
for evolution.

You won't, of course, because you think science is something we should
repent of. I don't suppose you've considered, then, that you shouldn't be

The so called school is not an accredited college, it offers PhD's

Your question doesn't fit into a "evolutionary module", because it's merely
personal incredulity. Chlorophyll is a photoreceptive chemical molecule.
There is no reason to suspect that it could not have formed by perfectly
natural chemcial reactions. Please refer to :Introduction to Organic
Chemistry, Streitweiser and Heathcock (MacMillan, New York, 1981). There
are many close relatives of chlorophyll used by living organisms. A slight
alteration of an already existing chemical is the most likely route for the
original formation of chlorophyll in living cells. For more information,
please see the following websites

http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/Phyto/Reprints/LaRoche_et_al_96.pdf
http://www.cib.nig.ac.jp/nemi3/talk.18.html

For your other request for evidence for evolution, I direct you to the
genetic evidence for evolution. Once you deal with these sources, we can
discuss the anatomical, biochemical, molecular, and fossil evidence for
evolution.

Hovind generally lies by not telling the truth. As others have pointed out,
he falsely uses the title PhD, which he did not earn. He also cheats on his
taxes. He repeats claims that have been refuted, that he KNOWS have been
refuted, meaning that he can't simply claim ignorance. He quotes out of
context, which is lying by omission. He has perjured himself in court
doucuments, and he has made a bad faith offer of $250,000 for "proof" of
evolution, for which he will never accept any evidence. Even other
Creationists have accused Hovind of lying. For more information about
Hovind, and his shameful record of lying for God, see:

All the evidence points to that.
There is no evidence for a god, any god and since the people who make up the
concepts of gods claim it is more complex how can an honest man not ask
where the god came from.

Scientifically we have no other evidence for anything else and the steady
state theory doesn't explain the universe's expansion rate

2.. Planets and stars formed from space dust.

The original stars were formed from hydrogen that the big bang released, as
these stars exploded or died out some became the space dust that forms the
solar systems of today. Note this can be observed with the Hubble telescope.

3.. Matter created life by itself.

This is yet to be confirmed but no other rational explanation has been put
forward.

4.. Early life-forms learned to reproduce themselves.

Again yet to be confirmed but we do have fossil evidence of primitive cells
reproducing 2.5 to 3.5 billion years ago. Note that we have no evidence of
anything else be it aliens or whatever teaching cells to divide.

5.. Major changes occurred between these diverse life forms (i.e., fish
changed to amphibians, amphibians changed to reptiles, and reptiles changed
to birds or mammals).

The fossil record demonstrates some of this along with corroborating
evidence from genetics and observations of existing life on our planet. We
have evidence of fish developing legs over time and reptiles developing into
mammals, in fact we can trace back the bones in our ears to the jawbones of
reptiles and fish through the fossil record.
And that is pretty solid evidence but my favorite is the trilobite with
no eyes whatsoever but still has the location clearly marked where the eyes
should be fixed just like their identical relatives with eyes. It even has
what they call sutures so the trilobite can molt without harming the eyes it
doesn't have. Now if your concerned about rational thinking please give me a
reason besides evolution that would explain this.

So we have evidence for some but not all, but explaining the Big Band,
Formation of the stars and Life is a Huge thing to ask.

Hovind consistently refuses any debate in which evidence may be examined
or his claims researched. He's a snake-oil salesmen who earns his living
shoveling absufrdities to a gullible public.

Were he to agree to a written debate with me, (for example) his career
would be at an end, and he'd have to resort to multilevel marketing scams
from that point on.

"On Mon, 23 Jun 2003 23:42:07 +0000 (UTC), in article
<j14ffvs5fbbn4klq1...@4ax.com>, Crwydryn stated..."

I will try to spell this out in more detail.

I think that it is an impossible demand, that we offer the "one
best shot" at demonstrating something scientific. Even something as
simple, and as widely accepted, as the scientific proposition that
the earth is moving through space. Something which, I hope, no one
wants to remove from the school textbooks. There is no one thing
which we can offer in a few words in a discussion which would
convince someone who is deeply, religiously, committed to the idea
that the earth is fixed (and everything else moves around it).

Yet the motion of the earth is one of the fundamental facts
about astronomy. Yes, it's a *fact*. Just as evolution is one of
the fundamental facts of biology.

And it's just as easy to demonstrate evolution as is to
demonstrate the motion of the earth. Actually, I think that it's
easier to demonstrate evolution. Actually, the evidence for it is
so overwhelming that there are these responses by the evolution-
deniers:

1. Whenever we get a demonstration of some facts about evolution,
a demonstration that is so overwhelming that even the evolution-
deniers can't ignore it, they will tell us that "that is only
*micro*evolution". (That's why I made the joking reference to
micro-motion of the earth.) They won't tell us, though, just
what the difference is between "micro-" and "macro-"evolution is.
All it seems to be is a shifting boundary dependent upon the most
recent evidence. Not something that corresponds to facts about
the world of life on earth.

2. Another reaction is the radical one, represented by the question,
"How do you know, were you there?" If this question were to be taken
seriously, this would mean that the evolution-deniers are willing to
throw out vast amounts of our knowledge about the world (not only
about the world of life, but about anything that they can't see),
just to deny evolution. This, I think, amounts to a concession that
the evidence is so overwhelming that only way to deny evolution is
to deny just about all knowledge.

3. The third way is the *ad hominem* argument, such as we see in
the report of Hovind in this newspaper item. That is, that evolution
is false because some evil people appealed to evolution. Rather than
getting to the question about whether evolution actually happens, the
ground is shifted to whether evil people believed in it. (I don't
think that these people that Hovind mentions *did* believe in
evolution, by the way. I don't think that they had the least idea
what evolution *is*, and I don't think that they *cared*, and I think
that what they said shows that they didn't know and didn't care.)
This, too, amounts to an admission that the evidence for evolution
cannot be denied, for the only way to attack evolution is to smear
those of us who are not afraid of the facts about evolution.

Yes, there is ovewhelming evidence for evolution. And it is out
there for anyone who really cares enough to make the least amount of
effort to find that evidence.

Something I have to take as fact and can't refrute, example: a web
page from patriot university that list Hovinds PHD as frodulent.

By the way...

You were accusing Hovind of having a frodulent degree, that is a very
serious charge and need to back it up with evidence.

Bring your proof.
Where did you get the idea that you could accuse someone of a serious

I apologised for a misscommunication, I'm blaming you for having tax
payers support a religion called evolution.

"New Knowledge" If Old evodence, that was tought to children, was
thrown out and replaced by "New evodence", then you have been "LYING"
to children. Examples: Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man.

And God will judge you for that.

cosmology- day 4 of creation, no problem with the bible.
physics- How does this conflict with the bible
geology- If there was a world wide flood, there would be sedimentary
rock all over the world with billions of fossils in it.
paleontology-You don't get a fossil if the object isn't burried
quickly, like by a flood. Go into the west and you will not find one
fossil of a buffalo that was killed in the bugginnig of the railroads.
No problem with the bible.
Lots of problems for "the religion" of evolution.

John 3:36 "He who has the son has life, he who doesn't have the son
has not life but the wrath of god apides on him."

One of two things is going to happen when you die.
You will be regergitated into a plant or backteria,
or you will stand before God and give an account for you sins(Ten
Commandments will help you see what is sin).
Are you ready for both?

If you create something, it has a responsibility to obey you and call
you good, no matter how you treet it.

Your's is even worse, yours doesn't promise you anykind of security,
has broken many promises "piltdown man, nebraska man", gives you no
assurance of the future, and no comfort for when you die. If I

Romans 3 "Let God be called true and every man a liar."

Truth is not defingned by majority opinion.
If hovind is wrong in an area, I will try geting ahold of him and see

Hovinds not God, I represent God and seek to defend Gods word. Hovind

defend Gods book.

If you have evidence for your theory, put-up shut-up,or repent

Let me narrow it down for you.
Cosmic evolution(big bang)
Chemical evolution(Elaments evolving from hydrogen)
Organic Evolution(life arising through natural processes)
Macro Evolution(Non-dog changing to a dog)

This should give you a good start. Put-up, Shut-up, or repent.

Here's why just one. If evolution is true and every other religion is
false. You should be able to give me one fact that I can't dispute.

Like this, Please explane how a DNA (which has the storage copasity of
over a trillion(1,000,000,000,000) CDs worth of data in the size of a
hair, came into existance. To me the only reasonable answer that

I am calm, I use words like coward to get people to try to answer my
questions. I person acually went and got evidence. He isn't a coward.
My not understand true science or truth, but not a coward.

if you have evidence, put-up shut-up, or repent.

There is one other, "God did it." Let me explain...
The genetic Information in you and your brothers and sisters is all in

You have a major problem, you have two cells that need to evolve:
opposite sex, close by(they got to find each other), need food(what
will the first cell eat?), the two cells got to be interested. Your
more likely to be struck by lightning. If you did, where would you go

Lets pretend you are digging for fossils and find a fish with legs.

Trylobites "with eyes" have-the-most-complex-eye found in nature. Now
if you think a trylobye that may have been born without eyes that
drownd in Noah's flood is evidence. That is not rational thinking.

Know, in the usual sense of know used in science; which is

No, it doesn't. A model which violated such a fundamental law
of nature would never get past first base as a scientific model.

Actually, we can see stars forming just fine. There are millions
upon millions of stars out there, and we can see stars in all the
various stages of formation.
See, for example: <http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_uni/uni_101stars.html>

> Please explain to me the natural process that changed Hypdrogen to

Basically, it occurs by nucleosynthesis in massive stars,
and then in supernovae.

Here is a relevant page from NASA which explains the models
in an easily accessible form (such as I require!)
<http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/nucleo.html>

Hydrogen and helium were mostly formed as matter condensed out
from the hot dense plasma in the very earliest times of the
universe, shortly after the initial singularity. The amounts
of hydrogen and helium in the universe are predicted by Big
Bang cosmology; this is one of the great successes of the model;
and a good scientific basis for confidence about the origins of
light elements.

See: <http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_uni/uni_101bbtest2.html>

Heavier elements, up to about iron, are formed in massive stars.
Iron is about the most stable element, and hence the natural
end point of fusion processes (a thermodynmic argument applies
here, you may be interested to know!)

Elements heavier than iron are not formed in normal stars,
because they actually have less binding energy per nucleon
than iron. This stage of the process requires a supernova.

See: <http://herschel.jpl.nasa.gov/science/origin01.html>

The scientific model for a supernova explosion is quite specific
as to the various processes involved; and these models are also
well tested by observation.

This is rather suspect, theologically speaking. Most churches
now recognize the problems with a God og the Gaps argument, in
which Gods action is contrasted with natural processes.

A good way to start thinking of the implications here is to
ask who made ME. Not "humans" generally, but me, as a unique
human individual. Did God make me?

If so, then you have recognized that "God did it" is not, in
general, an *alternative* to natural processes. To say "God
made me" is to recognize that God is responsible for all the
world, and it is to see God's hand in the natural processes
studied by science in which I am formed, as a unique human
individual.

Science has, in fact, observed new information being added
to the genome by evolutionary processes; it is simply not true
to say that science has not observed information coming into
existence without an intelligence. The universe, in fact, seems
to be finely tuned for the spontaneous emergence of complexity,
on the so called "edge of chaos". Some Christians see God's
creative power in that also; but the implications are that God
created a universe pregnant with infinite possibility.

Nothing is gained, theologically or scientifically, by saying
"God did it" with respect to origins of life. It does not, in
fact, rule out a role for natural processes (as we can see once
it is accepted that God made me also). And it does not recover
a literal interpretation of the bible. That has been conclusively
ruled out by fundamental observations relating to the size and
age of the universe, and the long histories of life revealed by
paleontology.

The question really concerns the history of life on Earth. Even
if we treat God a like a human designer who works within the
constraints imposed by nature to manage design trades offs and
construct life like some kind of human artifact, this is still
a step in a history of events, and needs to fit in the evidence
we have for Earth's history. It is no good proposing any kind of
designer stepping into make fully formed animals with no
antecedents; that view has long since been shown inconsistent
with available evidence.

This comment shows a major misunderstanding of evolution.
Evolution does not made a dog into a non-dog, or a cat into
a non-cat, or a mammal into a non-mammal, or a hythobob into
a non-hythobob (substitute anything you like for hythobob).

What evolution does is make dogs (and cats, and mammals, and
hythobobs) more diverse over time. Mammals, for example, are
all descended from one species which lived a couple of hundred
million years. That species did not change into "something else".
It rather diversified into a spread of forms, with many variations
on the basic theme.

Science does observe this kind of diverficiation going on, right
now, at rates which are consistent with the long histories of life
revealed by paleontologists.

You mean how can I prove it is not?

By such things as dating; and by the strict sorting of fossils into
distinct eras. At the time of the first fish, there were no mammals.

No, there is no particular reason to think spiral arms should
have been lost a long time ago. There is still a lot to learn about
galaxies and their formation; but there is no special problem with
spirals.

Galaxies are very big, by the way. In many cases, light takes a
hundred thousand years or more just to get from one side to the
other.

Leave out the insults, it does your argument no good. However,
virtually everything Hovind has to say is a lie. Just going to his
site, you select science:articles. And you get several articles, very
few of them having to do with science. Eventually you can go to the
article called "Questions for Evolutionists".
The first paragraph starts out with a lie. It states that "some people
think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about
the universe."

And that is the first lie, nobody thinks that evolution is explains the
universe. It only explains the diversity of life. Nothing more.
Then Hovind proceeds to make arguments against his version of the theory,
and those are lies, since the real theory does not say anything that
he claims it does.
That should start you out. Oh and you never answered my points about
the diploma mill that Hovind bought his degree from. Why is that?

What does repenting have to do with the Theory of Evolution? Since
many Christians accept the Theory as the best scientific explanation
of the diversity of life, it seems to me that repenting has nothing
to do with it. And since the bible says nothing about it either, it
seems to me that you are the one that needs to repent, or at least
convert to Christianity.
As far as evidence for the theory, try the genetic similarities and
differences of life, and the nested hierarchy it forms. And the
physical similarities and differences of all life the nested hierarchy
that forms. And the fact the two hierarchies fit together so well that
one can look at the physical hierachy and make predictions about the
genetic hierarchy. The fossil record.

The basics of evolution are well understood. You could understand it

I understand the basics of evolution, and you could too, if you wanted

We all understand that you have the ability to parrot back the old

demonstrates the depths of your moral and ethical bankruptcy. It is
sad that you have chosen to be ignorant of both evolution, itself,
*and* ignorant of what other people can and do understand *about*
evolution.

All can see the gross dishonesty in your above statements. If all

You don't get it. Hovind is a fraud. A cheat. A conman. He won't
part with his money under any conditions. God himself could disprove
Hovind's challenge (in fact, He has), and Hovind would not pay up.
Hovind's own website proves he is a fraud. Other evidence proves him
a liar, about his credentials among other things. Police reports and
the reports of his victims show that he also cheats on his taxes and
harbored at least one wanted felon.

It says a lot that you are defending him. It says that creationism is
desperate for any tiny little shred of perceived support it can get.

That's not true. Not even close.

Your quiz for today, Andy: How many bits of information
(uncompressed, including "junk") are on the longest human chromosome?

Hint: Count the base pairs and multiply by two.

1812 Overture? You give him much too much credit. If he hums any
tune at all, it would be something more along the lines of the

> If you got proof that a non-dog produced a dog it's worth $250,000.

No, it isn't. Go look up the terms of Hovind's "challenge" once again. To
claim the $250k, one would also have to prove that evolution is *the only
possible way* for dogs to have come from nondogs. Among other things, you
would have to prove that God did not perform a miracle and cause a wolf to
give birth to a dog. Empirical evidence only, please.

And once you've done that, heck, you still haven't even started! Turns out
the first "phenomenon" on Hovind's list to be explained is "A highly ordered
universe exists." Now you need to somehow prove that "a highly ordered
universe" came to exist through Hovind's strange caricature of evolution, and
then that that was the *only possible way* for it to have come about. Good
luck with that!

But let's say you somehow managed even that -- perhaps you found an amazing
proof scribbled in a margin of your autographed first edition of _The Origin
of Species_ that exactly answers every aspect of Hovind's challenge! Now you
have to get the man to cough up the dough. Let's see, what's the procedure
again?

Hmm. Apparently, you present the evidence to Hovind himself. He may, at his
option, choose to forward some, all, or none of it to an anonymous panel of
judges that he claims to have appointed. These mysterious judges must (all?)
be convinced that the evidence meets the terms of the challenge and then
pronounce their verdict. It is uncertain whether the verdict will be public,
or whether it too will be relayed via Hovind himself; the judges do not have
to identify themselves.

But let's say it all goes by the book. Here's Hovind, damning verdict in
hand and his entire worldview in ruins, who must now keep his good word and
pay up. What does he do? Why, he calls up his mysterious wealthy friend and
tells *him* to cut you a check for $250k!

What a brave man, this Kent Hovind! Truly the risk he takes in issuing his
$250,000 challenge speaks volumes about the strength of his faith!

Would you have microevolution kept out of the classroom too? You know, like
housecats and lions and tigers and cougars and leopards and lynxes and
sabre-toothed cats coming out of a single pair of cats that Noah had on the
Ark?

What about geology, would you allow it in the classroom? Geologists hold
that the world is 4.5 billion years old, after all. How about astronomy?
Physics? All full of dangerous scientific ideas. Philosophy? Some
philosophers seem to hold the heretical opinion that not all moral values
come from the Bible. History? Teaches all sorts of nonsense about the
Egyptians and the Chinese, when clearly they would all have died in the
Flood.

And should a public school be allowed to teach Hebrew or Greek? After all,
the students might then go read the original Bible instead of the KJV!

There is no fact which cannot be disputed if the disputer is

A gold-silver alloy has an even higher storage capacity (since every
lattice spot can be occupied by a gold or a silver atom) - and
gold-silver alloys come into existence without the observable action
of any god.

All we observe are texts whose purported authors *claim* that Thomas

are not themselves sufficient evidence to conclude that a violation of
the known behavior of nature has happened; otherwise the Odyssey would
be a scientific demonstration of the existence of Pallas Athene.

Are dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc all "still dogs"? Do you
want to discuss the evidence that the dog family evolved from

What a bizarre thing to say. "other religion"? Evolutionary biology
is science, not religion, and this is amply demonstrated by it's being
well accepted by many eople of all religious faiths.

No, it doesn't. Did you just make up that claim, or did Hovind
lie to you about it?

>came into existance.

Prebiotic chemistry. The details aren't well understood, but there
are many ideas. Anyway, evolution isn't about the origin of the first
life. We can take it for granted that the first life got here somehow
[include "Goddidit" as a possibility if you like]. However life may
have got here, it will have evolved ever since.

>To me the only reasonable answer that makes sense is "God did it"

For that to count as an explanation, you should explain exactly
_how_ "God did it", and show us evidence for your interpretation of
the details of the process. Why couldn't "God do it" using natural
processes?

Gee, maybe you should try giving "please" and "thank you" a shot.
You know, as in "Hello, I don't understand xxxx. Can someone
please explain xxxx and xxxx to me? Thank you."

The "coward" stuff just looks like silly bluster and childishness.

Tons. You can start with

http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-evolution.html

You want to see evidence for what, exactly? The observed fact that
populations of organisms do evolve? The fact that new species can
arise? You yourself claimed to believe in lots of this within the cat
family in your " Your Creationist is here" posts. The origin of the
entire diversity of the Felidae from one type of common ancestors on
the Ark in just few thousand years would be macroevolution on a
explosive scale, that scientists would find ridiculously rapid and
unacceptably unrealistic.

Is there independent documentation that the disciples even existed?
Nevermind, none of that has anything whatever to do with evolution.
Plenty of devout Christians are "evolutionists".

You sound like a broken record. You still didn't say "best evidence"
for what, exactly? That populations can and do change? That changes
in traits can occur? That an ancestral species can give rise to
descendant species? That groups of related descendant species can
arise from a common ancestral species? You yourself have already
claimed to believe in all of that. Remember:

"The tiger, lion, cheetah, couger, and house kitten all had
the same common ansester, a cat that came off of Noahs ark that had
the genetic information for ALL of them. Over the last 4000 years the
cat has lost genetic information and had mutations that have caused
problems in the cat population to what we have today, cats that are
so different that they can't interbreed anymore."

That's macroevolution, on an unreasonably rapid grand scale. New
reproductively isolated species, involving changes in structural
features and behaviors, and you said you already believe in it. What
else would you like to see evidence for? Good examples of
"transitional intermediates" that clearly fall between different
higher groups of organisms? We can do that:

Is a dog still a wolf? That's what the first dog breeders started
out with. They started with wild gray wolves and from them we've evolved
pekinese and dachshunds and English bulldogs and chihuahuas and great
danes. of course the "lab tests" took hundreds of years, but it's well
understood.

If you want to object that wolves and dogs are still in the same "kind",
you'll have to give us some clear objective criteria for "kind"
recognition. Othewise, how can we tell if an example fits your demands
or not?

Okay, but evidence for what, exactly? Is it to be the origin of
very different "kinds" by evolution? Like maybe housecats and tigers?
No, wait, you already accept that.

It's amusing how often religious antievolutionists want to falsely
pretend that evolution is a "religion" or a "God", as if that would
be a very bad thing. One might have expected them to be in favor of
religions and God.

If this was a loki troll, you can take a bow now...

People are answering you - you just have your fingers stuffed in your
ears.

We've seen this many, many times before. People like you come into
the group, spout dogma, do not engage in a discussion about evidence,
post URLs from creationist websites for a few weeks and then leave.
Are you going to do better than that?

Nunc Id Vides, Nunc Ne Vides

There's one problem with the God did it explanation, where would we be
if we always used that. Pasture went beyond that explanation to show the
rest of us that animals did not spontaneously form on meat and in fact eggs
were laid and hatched. Now everything changed with this one fact, we could
see that certain diseases were of the same nature, the unseen world came
into focus and was no longer part and parcel of the church. Would anyone
want to undo this, I would hope not, we may have lost the feeling of a god
that protected us from plagues and other disasters but we gained the
knowledge that we held our destiny in our own hands. If we discover the
unknown in space we might also discover new avenues that mankind has to
explore and I think that's the real reason behind science. We can be much
more with each new discovery and no longer live with the fears of our
ancestors.

It's on right after the Military Intelligence Hour and just before the
Jumbo Shrimp Cooking Show.


Oh, and I've never done caps lock before, but here goes:

And a little effort on spelling would make us all "prowd".

Here's a suggestion: Give us one piece of simple understandable
evidence that your god exists.

thanks,
