<p>Nice Baelor, way to use sg12’s post as 5spencer’s.</p>
<p>^I know. I apologize, my bad. That doesn’t change the validity of my statement. It applies to both.</p>
<p>“Here’s an expert SCIENTIFICALLY PROVING that there is such thing as Creationism. His name is Dr. Kent Hovind.”
I get a lot of laughs out of this guy for how irrational his statements are and the unreliability of his facts, not to mention the storm of logical fallacies that are the basis of his arguments. Not only has he served jail time for 58 federal charges (involving cheating on taxes and the like), his “Dr” title is self-given and his ideas are criticized by both old-earth and new-earth creationists. I’m sorry, but I am disappointed in anyone who tries to cite him as an expert.</p>

<p>Salvation from what? A so called hell which no one knows exists or not?</p>
<p>That would be correct. x.x</p>
<p>Anyone who tries to force beliefs on someone else, including atheists, are reaaally obnoxious.</p>
<p>-an atheist.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t it be more like that?</p>
<p>Religion isn’t a problem until religious fundamentalists teach the Earth being 4000 years old in school. Until they teach that established scientific principles like evolution are false in schools. Until they ban the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Until they set up religious courts and prosecute people for blasphemy. Until they wage massive crusades and jihads. Until they enslave millions under the name of god. </p>
<p>That’s when I get anti-religious. You’re not special. You may think that god loves you but the second you think god hates the guy across the border and you fire rockets at him, I’m not going to take any pity on you when you get slaughtered by inevitable conflict.</p>
<p>No religion means the world would be a much safer and much more rational place.</p>
<p>By the way, “Doctor” Kent Hovind didn’t even get his PHD from an accredited school yet he calls himself Doctor. He is also in jail for 43 felony counts including 12 counts of tax fraud. How does “render unto caesar what is caesar’s” fit in there? The New Testament was pretty damn clear but this self - professed Christian who supposedly defends the faith doesn’t read his bible…</p>
<p>Also his dissertation was only 101 pages long and he didn’t cite anything. That’s basically plagiarism if he even used one bit of outside information.</p>
