Kent Hovind: Quite possibly the greatest imbecile of our time

It’s interesting to live through such historical moments. Kent Hovind, Creationist at large, scores one for the other team each time he opens his mouth. We are the generation of people who are able to witness the unfurling of the dumbest creature to walk in an upright position. This is the only man alive that can make Bush look like he achieved a grade 3 education. The following is just a small dose of this man’s utter stupidity:

Hovind: "I teach physics. I know about the invert square law, particle attraction acceleration due to gravity"

Buddika: Invert_ square law? If he had not crowed, "I teach physics" immediately before it, I would have let this go, but any real physics teacher with an ounce of working gray matter would have called it the 'inverse square law'.

Hovind: "Dinosaurs were nothing more than giant lizards in the garden of Eden. Dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve."

Buddika: There is no evidence whatsoever in the fossil record for dinosaurs alive a mere 4,000 years ago, or for dinosaurs cohabiting with humans, the majority of mammals or the majority of birds at any time in history. Dinosaurs are a specific group of (once-) living things. To call them lizards is to misrepresent them.

Hovind: "The textbooks state that one of the evidences is homology structures. Homology structures, what does that mean?"

Buddika: It doesn't mean anything because it is lousy grammar, and if Hovind really was an honest PhD, he would know this. What he means is 'homologous' structures. Such structures exhibit homology.

Hovind: "The DNA found in you body is also extremely complex. Because it is smaller does not mean it is simpler."

Buddika: Four bases, sugar, phosphate; how much simpler can it be? If god made DNA from scratch, perfectly, how come there is so much duplication and junk in it? Evolution explains this completely - it's precisely what you would expect to find if we evolved. The creationist camp can only explain it by their god's incompetence.

Hovind: "Evolution is largely responsible for what happened to the Indians."

Buddika: "Origin" was published a full 20 years after the Nunadautsunt. That's pretty good that Darwin managed to force something to happen 20 years before the book which caused it was published....

Hovind: "There would not be communism in Russia today if had not been for Charles Darwins book on evolution."

Buddika: I am not even going to dignify this with a longer response.

Hovind: "He wrote the book Mein Kampf. You ought to read Mein Kampf and see how many times Hitler refers to racial crossing, superior races, or higher races. The major theme of the book is Germans are a superior race."

Buddika: You ought to read it. For once, take Hovind's advice and do please read Mein Kampf. In it, you will see that Hitler believed he was doing God's work in destroying the Jews. It had nothing to do with evolution. The Catholic Church, even at the height of the atrocities, never excommunicated Hitler, nor spoke out against his activities.

I strongly recommend this entire essay for reading, It's absolutely brilliant:

This tool is actually teaching physics to kids. I’d rather have my kid share a one room flat with Sid and Nancy than have this moron within a stone’s throw of him. His alleged degree is from a Diploma Mill from some bible school if bum fuck USA, that is not recognized anywhere on the face of the earth.

I’m sure if Darwin had ever met people in the ranks of Hovind, Behe, and Dembski, he’d have probably shredded his thesis and take up wood working instead as these morons are so backwards they predate the Cambrian Explosion.
