Professor Dave Destroys Kent Hovind (Young Earth Creationism Debunk)

A channel named Modern Day Debate reached out to me based on my flat earth debunking to see if I would debate someone named Kent Hovind about Young Earth Creationism. Normally I stay out of religion, but I dug into this guy a little, and he is a total scumbag. The epitome of a con man. Nothing but lies and misrepresentations of science out of his mouth for several decades now. He's really no different than the flat earthers, manipulating people to make money. So I decided to take a chunk out of him. He's a slippery little greased pig, watch for his signature move, the gish gallop.

[@dagucka]

the problem with "modern day debate" is that they don't moderate. a moderators job is not only checking for the talking time, but also making sure that the "loudest person wins" effect doesn't happen. a good moderator does things like person A asks a question, person B doesn't answer it (dances around) moderator says "Person B please answer the question" or "sign it as "unanswered". Also a good debate forum has fact checkers in the background who tell the moderator if something is not right so the moderator can say so.

Kent’s logic: Adults don’t come from children because we’ve never seen a child go to bed and wake up the next morning as an adult.

[@knarfamoranemix6030]

Actually, that may be a good analogy. Thanks for the idea.

[@snoopyjot]

Technically we do, at the end of puberty when our growth plates fuse we literally go to bed and wake up as an adult, although we don't look any differentiated. I'm a good example. I went through puberty a bit too early so I literally went to bed as a child who was going through puberty then when I was 9 and my puberty finished I suddenly was biologically an adult... even though I was only 9 years old. So I literally went to bed a child and woke as an adult 🤷‍♀️

[@knarfamoranemix6030]

@ Fiona -Jane kelly : If that is the case, then the adult in the morning is still almost identical to the child before. The different child kind Kent Hovind expects to appear is very different from the parent kind, like a mouse producing an ape. Hence, we can use the analogy of a baby turning into an adult overnight. No one has ever seen that happen. Yet there are people who believe babies can turn into adults. It's a religion, not science.

[@hehefunnysharkgoa9515]

​@@snoopyjot Except you've arbitrarily defined 'an adult' to meaning someone whose skeletal structure has stopped developing. Someone else might define 'an adult' to mean someone who has turned 18, someone else might define it to mean they've started their first job, etc. The Ancient Greeks defined adulthood to be somewhere around 14, 15. Biologically a human is adult the moment it is capable of producing offspring, regardless of their growth plates. The definition of 'adult' is vague and subject to change as people see fit. This is the entire problem with Kent's argument.

On one hand, you have a book, with many fanciful ideas like Adam and Eve living to approximately 900 years old, an Ark that was supposed to hold 2 of every animal for about a year, men rising from the dead, and so on so forth. On the other hand, you have science, where millions of people devote their lives to figuring out how the world works, using a variety of different sources, such as Ice core dating, geology, fossils, laws like the speed of light, evolution, ect, to prove the age of the earth is billions of years old. To throw another wrench into things, scientists are constantly challenging ideas that others present, checking peoples methods meticulously, or finding new information that invalidates or changes the way we see things. So, my problem is, why would I trust one source when many sources say that it is wrong? And if I could only trust one source, why should it be yours? Why not another religion?

[@curhob]

True, although would Bonzi Buddy have agreed to a debate if it even was better moderated?

[@treatitlikeaboardgame3508]

Well spoken and debated Dave. Appreciated! One suggestion or thought. People have a misconception of what a species is. It's a line drawn in the sand by humans to divide creatures into similar beings for the point of study and understanding. That being said, there's a lot of variation within those species. When any creature has offspring, the new being is not a carbon copy of the original. There are slight variations. The variations that make a creature more successful mean that the new beings are more likely to reproduce, and increasing the likelihood that their own offspring will also have that slight difference. Over many generations slight differences become larger and larger. At a certain point, the differences become so large that we decide to call it a new species. Science has chosen to define that in a specific way, namely the ability to reproduce. People like Kent live in a black and white world where they HAVE to put things into buckets and don't understand that we have created these buckets where nature is far less defined than we are. Ask Kent if he looks exactly like his father or mother. If he says no, then explain to him that HE is part of evolution. As are all of us and every creature that has ever lived.

[@jerrytyler2835]

You have a wonderful way of explaining and communicating your ideas, but after watching this debate, I don't think Kent would be able to change his mind on anything despite the sound simple logic in your words. He likes the idea of being open to having his mind changed, but puts forth so little effort to understand an opposing idea, that I don't think it's possible

@jerrytyler2835 Thank you for your kind words. I agree with you about Kent specifically. His mind will not be changed as he's now too dedicated to his "side." However, there will be people watching this video who haven't yet made up their mind and this may be an aspect that they've never considered. So long as we can focus on thinking about life critically and with an open mind and heart, we'll be supporting people in developing a belief system based on facts and not emotions.

You guys keep laughing at Kent but he’s upset and in fact feels pity on you because you believe in this delusion that nothing created something. These evolution scientists always look into cells but they can’t ever explain how nothing created something. There’s a painting because there’s a painter there’s a creation because there’s a creator. Humans where created by god, don’t fall for this evolution trap. It’s simple we don’t come from sponges. No thing except for god existed millions of years ago so you cannot claim that evolution is an actual thing. Understand that the life your living is wrong and sinful but every person has a savior and that is Jesus Christ. Repent of your sins and trust in Jesus. You won’t see him but you will feel his effect, similar to wind you can’t see it but you feel it’s effect. Then your trust and belief will keep growing stronger and you will do what I’m doing, telling people the truth.

[@travisbicklepopsicle]

@@markboyko4538 'you cannot claim evolution is an actual thing' Sure you can, if you're referring to biological evolution. In biology, a simple, one sentence definition of evolution is: 'Evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection'. That's it. It's how life on Earth works. It's demonstrated to be fact every day, all over the world. No one in history has ever demonstrated otherwise. There are plenty of geneticists and others working in the life sciences who are religious and have no problem accepting this basic fact of life. Even very devout Christians, like Francis Collins, who led the Human Genome Project, knows evolution is fact. No data or evidence indicates it isn't. You can modify some aspects of your beliefs so they align with reality, but you sure can't change reality.

Ephesians 6:5 , leviticus 25:44-46... what about stoning a child to death for not listening? Deuteronomy 21:18-21... do you own more than a single shirt? Luke 3:11 ever made a crude joke? Ephesians 5:4... see I can quote Bible versus too but you'll just ignore those and say how it's not to taken literally or :"Jesus doesn't care about the old laws" ... suuurreee... look, science doesn't care about the Bible and it isn't attacking God. MEN wrote that book and it's been changed A BIT over the years so its certainly not infallible. weather U believe in God or not that should be self evident. Interesting you mention plastics in the water... bring that up in church along with climate change and let me know how it goes for you.

One thing I find funny is that I was homeschooled from when I was 5 to when I was 15 without any exposure to religion/other people so when I went to high school for 1 year I believed in god the same way that we on average think of Thor, as a movie character. A joke. Nothing to be taken seriously. That changed in my third quarter of my first year in High School/public school. I was on my local Academic Quiz Bowl team and we were practicing our questions. One of the sets was on biblical events. Of course, I had no knowledge of the bible as obviously it had the same importance for me to read as the Quran or as Egyptian books with Ra the Sun god. So there I was not knowing the stories and one of the questions was on the story of Job or Joeb I don't know and I made some crude dumb joke thinking it was funny.

56:50 Craig Venter, a prominent biologist, made headlines in 2010 when his team at the J. Craig Venter Institute successfully created what they called the world's first synthetic life form. This achievement involved synthesizing an entire bacterial genome (Mycoplasma mycoides) and transplanting it into a cell of a different species (Mycoplasma capricolum). The recipient cell then began to function and reproduce according to the synthetic genome's instructions. This was a significant step in synthetic biology, though it's important to clarify that while the synthetic genome was created from scratch, the cell in which it was placed was not synthetic-making the life form itself not entirely synthetic but rather a hybrid between synthetic DNA and an existing cell. (meaning he DID NOT create life from a cell, rather implanted a synthetic into a LIFE barring cell.)

Imagine how those previous advancements are only considered advancements in the context of the smartphone (you wouldn't consider the invention of capacitive touch screens an advancement in the development of shoes, for example). Realize how many other things have changed in the past that had no impact on the phone. Think about how many changes had a negative impact on the advancements.

@@ChildOL There is plenty of evidence of a kind changing to another kind over time, regardless of your definition of kind. I don't know what you mean by on its own, but evolution doesn't claim that populations "on their own," so I'm going to ignore that bit. I not sure Kent even says that directly, because he knows that this is easy to demonstrate. What Kent argues there's no evidence for is is that a kind begetting(a subtle but extremely important different) another kind. Which is true, and if it were evolution wouldn't be. He's banking on this double bind. If an individual can't change a different group, how can a population? He uses this dumb word game to then suggest that populations changing "kinds" is so absurd that evidence is basically irrelevant. He's using the fact that discrete categorizations of individuals into populations over time is impossible. Taxonomy will never ever have clean boundaries, *especially* between individuals. The problem is the names we give "kinds" and the categorizations of those names isn't evolution, populations changing don't care about what we call them. Ring species are a great example, but Kent, of course, will say that they are all still the same "kind." Which will lead the person to either: A. Ask what a kind is, starting this circle again B. Or extrapolate the process over a longer period of time, further demonstrating evolution through natural selection. In which case Kent will say that they still never produce a different "kind" again using the word game between populations and individuals. Which will again lead to either A or B. This is why he brought up individual humans who are sterile. Individuals, not populations. It's a clever tactic because it gets the knowledgeable aggravated and flustered because it's a mind numbing argument yet still makes enough sense to the ignorant.

But prob alot didnt or didnt in a way its taken idk there are therioes on mistranslations of dates or the the idea that god is out side time so a day to him = ? To us arguement. Im more fasinated by the nephilim and the flood. Lol

[@Bigfoottracker89]

@BladerNation yea i know this well. I was raised sothern baptist. I just serperate my experience with the religon from researching it and other interesting stuff like science other religons myths phrophecy. Um i dont thinking people should have a problem with the christians who have used this religon to enhance their lives but maybe find problem with god bc he says he is alpha and omega but says most will go to hell and creates us all anyway. If he is all powerful he could have done better? Thats my issue dont take ur anger out on christians but god perhaps idk .

59:14 No, the synthetic genome itself cannot survive without being implanted into a living cell that can provide the necessary biological machinery and cellular environment. The genome, whether synthetic or natural, requires a cell's structures, such as ribosomes for protein synthesis, enzymes for metabolism, and membranes for protection and nutrient exchange. The process used by Craig Venter's team involved inserting a synthetic genome into an already existing cell that had its own genome removed. This recipient cell provides all the necessary cellular components to read the instructions in the synthetic DNA and carry out life processes. Without such a cellular infrastructure, a synthetic genome alone would not be able to function or replicate, as it lacks the mechanisms to perform essential life-sustaining activities. (the Synthetic CELL cannot live outside of a cell. THIS is NOT considered NEW cellular life, craig Venture's team did NOT create life on the basis of strictly synthetic achievement.)

It's the material architecture known as dark energy which serves as the scaffolding for the mathematical framework known as dark matter, which serves as the foundation for the materialization of ordinary matter. Think about the orbitals of a star around their galactic cores or even planets around stars. It's when you realize that material architecture is what keeps planets and stars in orbits it starts to make more sense. Then you realize that this physical domain is dependent on a hierarchy of domains that supersede it. Modern computational devices and networks allow us to see what a universe looks like from the outside in and this universe allows us to see what it looks like from the inside out. Using the combination of both we can begin to understand reality in greater depth. We then respect the hierarchical order that naturally emerges from such dynamic systems and bodies.

So I’ve heard this from other religious people…. I think I’m their heads we believe in science with as equally blind faith as they believe in the Bible. They don’t understand the science, data, and evidence behind what we believe so they are trying to make an argument of “we both have faith based belief.” Obviously that’s front, but I think that’s what they’re getting at…

[@fivehivemind805]

@@jamesj2022 Okay. What specific problems do you have concerning evolutionary biology/modern synthesis? What are you aware of that geneticists and other biologists are not? What are the professional, working scientists of the world missing? You are aware that evolution is not some 'American atheist' thing, right? See, unlike religion, there are no denominations in science. It's conducted in the same way all over the world, regardless of religious beliefs, culture, language, etc. Do you know the definition of 'science'? How about scientific theory? Do you know what that means?

[@LeSarthois]

@@connorcoultas9629 Yep. Some people are actually incapable of imagining "no religion" so they come up with "Science as a religion". It probably doesn't help that Scientism was a thing in the XIXth century. This is why you see Creationism often talking/discussing and quoting Darwin and pointing at errors in The Origins Of Species. They think it's a sacred book of sort that Evolutionnists believe from A to Z so if things are wrong in it, then it's a false religion.

[@fivehivemind805]

@@LeSarthois Good points. They also project in other ways, like thinking that Darwin was some kind of messianic figure or something.. Weird. Also, I'm betting that very few creationists know that Darwin thought God created everything; he wrote something to that effect on the last page of 'Origins...'.

"One of"? It is his ONLY source. He believes (or claims to believe) that the Bible is fact and the accurate description of the possible actions of God. Ofc, he only accepts the KJV of it, which had some....edits...put in to it when comparing with the previous version. Some of the books in the bible where Jesus' life is depicted were written by people that didn't live at the same time as Jesus. Now, I was raised Catholic. That does not mean that I deny science. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The insistence on depicting Science as an adversary of religion (in this case Christian religion) is baffling to me. The Bible is a set of allegories used in an ignorant time, written by ignorant people, to try to explain what was going on to other ignorant people. We can explain today, **scientifically**, some of the events described in the Bible. I think of it like this: the Bible is what you get if you ask for a primary schooler to describe more advanced scientific phenomena than he/she is prepared to explain. The primary schooler will resort to "its magic" explanation more often than not. Sorry for the wall of text, but this guy (Kent H) really annoys the crap out of me.
