Every evolutionist has a chance to win $250,000

"By a vast consensus, scientists accept this vast evidence as being valid - they accept evolution as being a fact. If these scientists are the jury, the Hovland challenge has been met (proven to beyond a reasonable doubt)"What is this consensus and on what basis did they come to this consensus? Is it something like," I will support you and you support me"? OR it was done on the basis of compelling evidenceThis message has been edited by inkorrekt, 02-06-2006 12:08 PM

Can you explain what the Mediocre Ph.D's from prestigious universities have contributed to the advancement of Science? I am no supporter of Dr. Hovind. As I see, Plagiarism, cooking up results are very common as our tenure systems and other requirements demand them to do unethical things just to hang on to their jobs. This is wrong. But, that is the way the system runs.

I am not a supporter of Dr. Hovind. Here is a man who has the courage to throw a challenge to the academic elites knowing fully well that he would be put in alion's den only to be attacked by them. He did something like this because of the strength of his convictions. He is fully convinced that Evolution is a theory just as Creation is. No one can prove either views. Instead of taking a neutral view on these issues, we are all forced to accept only Evolution as facts. This is where the problem is. Why cannot the Scientisits be open and honest about this? They do not have the courage to say that they do not know if they really do not. They also do not have the courage to state that there is no answer. Instead of this, they always try to project something that is as mythical as Creation to the world.When I see all the evidence presented to me, it is nothing more than Magic. We cannot have magic in Science. Yet, this is what we have been and we are still told.Dr. Hovind has been said to have obtained his Ph.D from a paper mill university. I do not know what this is. Then what about those Mediocre Ph.D's from prestigious universities who accomplish nothing except publishing worthless papers? This is accepted very well. Why?This man has the passion about what he believes. The offer of $250,000 is a Symbolic challenge. It is not the money. But, it is the challenge that matters. It should not be difficult for our well known "Scientists" to provide evidence to prove that Evolution occured and is still occuring.Why is it that no Evolutionist has ever challenged him? If they find that there is a problem with the judges, than justice needs to be served.Well, unless someone can come up with the challenge and end this debacle, this will continue. In the meantime, everyone in this forum may verywell dig deep into wherever they can find evidence and present to the world instead of saying that this always occurs whithout showing how? when? and where?
We must either accept his challenge or LEAVE HIM ALONE.

There was a Professor who always denigrated all christians who believed in God. Students of faith were very frustrated. The students began to pray for something to happen. Oneday, the Professor threw a challenge. He held aglass of water in front of him.He said,"I am going to let this glass go. This is going to fall down and crack.This is reality. IF there is a God, let Him stop this". The students once again began to pray. The Professor dropped the glass. To everyone's amazement, the glass did not break.How could it happen? The glass fell on the Professor's shoe. This can be interpreted in anyway. But, one fact is true. GRAVITY is no longer a theory since Newton's discovery. The next fact is, it can be verified all the time anywhere. The next fact is the Professor became a Christian.Hard to believe. Yet true. This message has been edited by AdminJar, 04-15-2006 12:09 PM

Gravity is a well established law which can be verified all the time.
Evolution is still a theory. Much of the evidence is still missing. In Science we are very specific. We do not mix apples and oranges. This message has been edited by AdminJar, 04-15-2006 12:10 PM
