Wow
Hi Joshua4missions.
Hooboy.
Are you for real, or just a chain-yanker? I guess we'll find out soon enough when you're never seen here again...
Creation will not hurt children, I assure you.
If creation produces children who later become adults who refuse to accept the most reasonable explanation for a given observation, then yes, this is the most aggregious type of harm. If it results in an individual who buries his head in the sand or requires a willful suspension of disbelief when confronted with straightforward, rational, simple evidence found in nature, then yes, this is harmful. If it results in a person such as yourself, ignorant of all facts pertaining to science then yes, I can see how this can be harmful to the individual self, as well as society as a whole. Are you really this deluded? Really?
Or are you a troll? The reason I ask is because not many self-respecting creationists these days would use anything related to Mr. Hovind as ammunition backing up an argument. You've created the caricature of the über creationist: one which many attempt to pigeonhole most biblical literalist radicals as, but also one which not many get the opportunity to experience. It is also one which would be used by say, someone who is fervently anti-creation, wishing to portray creationists in as bad a light as possible. So as a result, you've effectively tripped all of my troll indicators with your claptrap. Nice work, that.
I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.
Sorry this is off topic.
Have a good one.
