Evolution is being taught in Public Schools.
Do a google search on: drdino.com
Kent Hovind is a man that can and will give it to you straight, no red tape involved.
Kent Hovind also believes that public schools are not a good choice for the parents or students.
Check out his website.
Thank you.

| I saw his lecture series a couple of years ago and it was really interesting. If you haven't seen it you should try to find someone who has it and watch it, I would ask around at some of your local churches to see if they have it. |

| Kent Hovind isn't necessarily always correct in the theories he chooses (that's why he and the Creation Magazine guys are a bit at odds), but overall, I like his workshops. Too bad he's in trouble for tax fraud. |

He is a creationist who does a whole series about creation. He was having some trouble with the tax laws. From what I gathered he said he was exempt and the government didn't agree, but I don't really know all the details and I don't know if it was ever settled. His lecture series really is interesting and he has a museum dedicated to dinosaurs in FL that is supposed to have a lot of home schooling friendly stuff. I personally have never been but have heard from others that it is a neat place to go.
This is the site for his adventure land/museum: http://www.dinosauradventureland.com/

| Basically, he felt that since his business was religious in nature, and since he only paid his workers what they needed, rather than a regular paycheck, he should be exempt from paying payroll taxes. Perhaps it wasn't the wisest thing in the world to call Social Security a ponzi scheme and sue the IRS for harassment, that rarely works. Though I do agree with him about the ponzi scheme bit. |

Hello Theodore,nemom and all who reads this,
How are you today?? 
Hey, I wanted to let you know that Kent Hovind has been at a University in the past and a Professor of the University called Kent up and envited him to speak there, the Professor stated to Kent Hovind: "I want to show my students how stupid christians really are." --- Kent Excepted the invite: When Kent Hovind was finished with his seminar.. a woman walked up to him and she told him that she did not agree with his teachings, but then he said to her.." Ma'am you believe in evolution, right? ...." he proceed to tell her about the rock theory... as she believed so much in... the way the rock theory goes is the Professors at Universities are teaching their students that they come from rocks...
After Kent Hovinds Seminar at this University...he had this woman that believed souly in her rock thoery, wondering about if it had any truth in or not.
Kent Hovind Proves that theory is totally incorrect.
Here is a little bit of information about Kent Hovind.
-----------------------------------------------------
Evangelist Kent Hovind became a Christian at age sixteen and immediately desired to serve Christ with his life. While serving as a Sunday school teacher, a church bus worker, and an avid soul winner in his public high school of more than 2,000, he continued to seek God's purpose for his life. His keen interest in math and science throughout his high school career prompted his enrollment at Illinois Junior College as a science major. After two years of undergraduate work there, he felt God calling him to full-time Christian service and completed his bachelor of religious education degree at Midwestern Baptist College of Pontiac, Michigan in 1974.
For fifteen years, he taught high school math and science, during which time he completed his master's degree in education. While researching and writing his doctoral dissertation on the subject of creation vs. evolution, he saw the tremendous need for exposing evolution as a dangerous, religious world-view, and for arming Christians with scientific evidence that there are no contradictions between true science and the Bible. In response to these needs, shortly after finishing his Ph.D. in education, he began the full-time ministry of Creation Science Evangelism.
Since its beginning in 1989, his ministry continues to grow as Dr. Hovind speaks more than 700 times each year in public and private schools, churches, university debates, and on radio and television broadcasts. His humorous, fast-paced, illustrated seminars provide documented evidence against the unscientific and unscriptural theory of evolution. The information presented concerning dinosaurs in the Bible and the few that are still alive today reflects his extensive study in the field of cryptozoology. Dr. Hovind's goal is to strengthen the faith of believers, to confound and to convict the evolutionists, and to win the lost to Christ.
Dr. Hovind lives in Pensacola, Florida with his wife, Jo, and their children, Kent Andrew, Eric, and Marlissa ages 19, 20, 21.

Thank you.

Many People that do not believe in a biblical teaching, will more likely and Automatically dismiss this Truth.
Have a nice day.

I don't believe creationism is a theory. It's a hypothosis. A scientific theory is an unproven but believable outcome based on several hypothosi and/or proven fact.
Given this, I cannot buy into Creationism and the value of a hypothosis being greater than the value of a theory - like evolution.

There is no way to scientifically prove that everything was created by God. You can show that the Bible is correct in all areas that can be verified, however (historical record, archaeology, etc.)
There is also no way to scientifically prove macroevolution. Microevolution is just the reshuffling or damaging of what's already there, and in no way shows that species can evolve by adding new genetic material and advancing as a whole.
I don't really see how the two are any different. Both require belief in something that can't be observed, reproduced, or scientifically tested. The only reason evolution has the status of "science" while creationism does not is that the majority of scientists are currently acolytes of evolution, and prevent creationists from speaking / publishing anywhere important. Rather like the Global Warming crowd. But as history has shown many times, the majority is often wrong.
Origins will always be an issue of faith, not science. |

Well, that's a bit of a cop out, isn't it? Evolution holds the status of science because it can be proven that life forms change and adapt over time. Creationism doesn't, because it is simply an idea that cannot be proven in any way, shape, or form. It's just an idea, a hypothosis. When it has facts to support it, and other hypothosi that are based on those facts and lead to the same conclusion, then it will be given the equal status of theory.

You can create all sorts of beautiful, random patterns by kicking around a bag of red and blue marbles - but none of the patterns will ever contain green. Evolution as a theory of origins is based on advancing the species over time by adding genetic data, while microevolution is the shuffling or damage of that genetic data. Microevolution in no way supports macroevolution, and without macroevolution you have no theory of origins.
Science is what can be observed, reproduced, or tested. Macroevolution can not be observed, reproduced, or tested. Evolution as a theory of origins requires macroevolution. Therefore, evolution as a theory of origins is not science. The logic is flawless - you have to disprove at least one of my base assumptions. |

Theodor,
Hello....I mean no disrespect but, Some body needs to tell you.
You would not give me the chance to prove you wrong...
Or is it that you are afraid to be proven wrong??
Your so quick to cut down Kent Hovind and The Fact that G-d Created All living life on earth,the universe and the planets,sun,moon,stars and etc.
But you do not go to his website and talk WITH him or even Call him or debate this issue... So what right do you have to put him down?? You don't.
At least I on my time..and Dr. Kent Hovind on his time.....checked into Darwins theory of evolution.
You know Theodor, If you think about it:
You must not really believe in what ever you believe in 100%, otherwise you would defend it 100% ... and you not going to Dr . Kent Hovinds website and confronting him on the creation / evolution issues...
Your only showing your true feeling about this topic.
Let me ask you this: No offence again, but how can any person respect another, even if it's only 1% , if they only talk and do not prove their selfs worthy of their beliefs??
again: drdino.com
Try it...
Grizz..

|
|
Scientist believe that we came from 1 cell. if that be the case, then that one cell can only grow into 1 thing... possible reproduce.... and same reproduction of a clone of the same race. that is logical.
if you look at embryo's .... They all are different... from the human, to the rabbit- from the dog. to the cat.
If a dog and cat have sexual contact, they would either not breed, or a deformed freaky creature be born that would possibally go mad , due to the fact thats its chromosome would have the mixture of cat and dog which would tangle its brain into thinking different patterns... and would more likely attack a human if it had a chance.
Shame to see a Lot of people do not consider the most simple things in figuring out the evolution theory.
Grizz..
