First, Hovind is not a "Dr." He is a fake who got his degree from a degree mill (input the three search terms: hovind AND creationism AND creadentials, and you can track the info for yourself). As to debating him, it is done to demonstrate the man for the liar that he is.
In this case Silence does equal death, at least the death of reason.

I will second this point (Gishian gallop
, I will have to remember that one). Hovind, Baugh, Gish, and Morris, as well as many of the other leading debaters from places such as the ICR, have one tactic in common. If you can not dazzle them with your brilliance, bury them with your BS. There is a very good reason that they will not agree to submit their "quotes" and statements beforehand in any debate with a scientist, it is because many of them (the "quotes" ect) are false, and they do not want their statements looked up prior to the debate because then they would be easier to take to task for the misstatements, half-truths and outright lies.
Anyway, if you go to see Hovind good luck
