I have arrived...
Hey guys.
I found this forum while I was ego-surfing. I just put my 48 debates with Kent Hovind back online via a friend's webspace. (Same URL as before.)
First of all, it pleases me that people have noticed what I'm doing with Kent Hovind. I haven't called into his show in about half a year, but I'm going to begin again soon. Lots of crazy stuff has been going on.
When I began calling into Hovind's show, I was a weak atheist/agnostic (and still am), but I had only moderate knowledge of evolution. My understanding evolved over the course of my calls with him, as I refined my knowledge base and spent many, many hours thinking and talking with various people. I appreciate constructive criticism, with the caveat that you really have to listen to the entire sequence of debates before it's fair to judge how competent I am in this area. (I'm speaking mostly to NosyNed on this.)
My experience with evolutionary theory has inspired me in many, many ways. I'm considering going back to college to get an undergrad degree in biology so that I can work on a PhD in some biological field. Perhaps a blend of evolution and mathematics; I predict this is an emerging field of serious import.
My main purpose in coming here is to get feedback from people who have listened to my later debates. Any errors that I have not taken care of need to be corrected, and I would appreciate any help in that effort. When I next confront Mr. Hovind, I am going to be representative not only of a newer version of me, but hopefully of other people who wish to use me as a weapon against him. I believe that he is doing serious damage in maintaining the status quo of YEC belief in the USA, and I intend to spend as much time as I can reasonbly spare in defeating him.

PS
I did learn about the distinction between Ornithiscia and Saurischia, and directly confronted Hovind about his deceit on that topic.

Re: I have arrived...
Thank you for your advice. I admit to not being as dilligent about stopping Hovind from his anecdotal rantings, mainly because I'm not sure quite how to do it properly. When he actually gives references for things, I check them out. When it's an unreferenced claim, I usually google it and find out that he's full of it.

Re: Topic Drift Alert
Agreed, although I have to point out that it's unintentionally relevant. Hovind accuses science of fraud more than anyone else I have ever heard, except perhaps my mother.
