Attacks against the person doesn't mean they're wrong in another area.

He has no credentials, his theories are the ramblings of a mad man. He has a) no scientific evidence, b) no scientific credibility, and c) no repute due to his tax evasion. Why should anyone listen to him?

If you could prove (a) and (b) then I'd hand it to you.

Why don't you present his evidence?

I would like you to prove that his "theories" are correct. Can you do that? Until you can, I choose to NOT believe ANYTHING that man has to say about anything.

a) Dating and science put dinosaurs in the HUNDREDS of millions of years old. He says 4000.

B) He has no education in the field of evolutionary biology, biology, geology, physics... or science in general.

a)
1. Scientific evidence requires that one follows the scientific method. One starts with hypotheses, experiments to gather data, and draws a conclusion from the data.
2. Conclusions that are not the products of this method are not scientific.
3. Hovind starts out with his conclusions, rather than gathering them from evidence and data.
C. Hovind's conclusions are not scientific.

b) He has never attended an accredited university for scientific training. Therefore, he has no scientific credentials. In a public school, they wouldn't even let him teach grade 11 biology.

All in favor of shipping this to the science forum?

And I just watched a video of his on youtube about the age of the earth. He really doesn't back up anything he says with anything but bad speculation.

All he did was take seemingly random non coherent figures and multiplied them by X billion.

Like the earth's rotation is slowing down... Multiply the speed it is slowing down at by X billion... BACK THEN IT WOULD HAVE SPUN SO FAST NOTHING COuLD HAVE LIVED! HAHAHA

I'm ambiguious. Moving it to science implies that there's a scientific discussion. The only relationship I can find between Hovid and science is Hovid's complete disregard for it.

I agree with Jerry on there being no science, so I don;t think it should be put in there either.

He uses the bible to back up his claims.

Find in the bible where it says, that Dinosaurs were around 4.000 years ago.
I would also like for you to show where in the bible all his "evidence" comes from.

Also, tell me where in the bible it says, it is okay to not pay your taxes.

The bible no where specifies that Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago either, does that disprove it?

Watch his tapes, he shows you where gets his evidence.

I never agreed with him on not paying taxes.
