Kent Hovind's Dinosaurs and The Bible

As promised on CSEblogs,

Here is Kent Hovind's Dinosaurs And The Bible (two and half hours) long:



And Extant Dodo's Critical Analysis:



One of the funny things he says is that grizzly bears lived in Florida and that horses and zebras had a common ancestor (evoluton).

Does The Bible Condemn Pedophilia?

Video from Skeptic Bible Study on whether pedophilia is condemned in the Bible:



It is interesting that there is no clear law against having sex with children especially in Leviticus 20. It condemns sexual relations with close realtives very specifically. There was no priority by Biblical writers to condemn pedophilia.

We Are Animals

Creationists deny it, but it is a fact:

Humans are animals. We are mobile multicellular organisms whose cells are not encased in a rigid cell wall and we consume food (energy) from other organisms.

We are mammals. We are warm-blooded, have hair and feed milk to our young.

We are primates We are pentadactyly, we have fingernails and opposing thumbs, have a generalized dental pattern and a primitive body plan. We have forward-facing colour binocular vision.

We are apes. We do not have a tail, we are omnivorous, and we are highly intelligent.

We are humans. We are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens in the family Hominidae.

Keep Kent Hovind In Jail

I have created a petition asking that Kent Hovind be kept in jail for tax evasion. It is to counter another petition that wants Hovind out of jail.

Currently, I have over 200 signatures in about 12 hours since I mentioned this to one of the blogs I frequently visit. The other petition has less than 50.

This is not an "official" petition, but I want to show that more people do not agree with Kent Hovind.

Kent Hovind would probably say that most of the time, the majority is not right. But, if the majority of people believed that, would they be right?

Also, please refrain from adding fake names and comments to the other petition. There is no need to be immature about this.

Correlations of Religiosity and Societal Health

From The Journal of Religion and Society (2005):

The staudy done by Gregory Paul suggests that higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the prosperous democracies.

This contradicts Kent Hovind's assertation that evolution and the removal of Lord's Prayer is the downfall of American society, which is inaccurate and outdated.
