  • ALERT TO GERMAN AUDIENCE AND MOBILE DEVICE USERS:
    You might not be able to access this video because copyright. Yeah I know f*ck RUclips. You might want to try either a PC or a third party platform.
    THE ACTUAL DESCRIPTION:
    Yeah yeah I know, some of you don’t want me debating Hovind. You think that by giving him attention, I’ll be giving him the means to restart his BS-peddling career.
    I don’t think that that’ll happen, and to be honest, I doubt that this debate will even take place. It doesn’t matter how good you are at Gish Gallopping- if you come to a physics debate without a basic understanding of sixth grade maths/physics, you’ve already lost. And even he must realize this, so under the pretense of me being "vulgar, mean, just a kid," etc, he'll probably back out and that'll be the end of it. This video is mainly to learn ya some basics about stellar astronomy (plus a thorough review of sixth grade maths.)
    Anyway, for those of you who don’t know, Kent Hovind is an infamous young-earth creationist who made a career out of convincing people that he’s a scientist and that his professional investigations have led him to conclude that the universe is 6,000 years old, that evolution is a lie, and that dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark. No, I’m not shitting you. This is what he believes, and he made a decent amount of money by peddling these beliefs to the super-religious masses... until his totally-not-illegal tax practices caught up with him and earned him a 10-year prison sentence, which he just recently finished serving. Now he spends his days on this new thing called RUclips, uploading a new video every day and delighting his audience with his insights about why vaccines cause autism, how to make homemade cures to cancer, and why the evil government does bad stuff. And by “bad stuff,” he’s not talking about the usual unscrupulous bullshit involving corporate nepotism and rigged elections, he’s talking about f*cking virgin sacrifices in the Oval Office.

    Oh, I don't want you to not debate Hovind. Instead I'd rather it be formatted as a series of video exchanges or Open Letters rather than a person-to-person debate. The primary reason for that is that it prevents Hovind from using his usual debate tactics, and allows both parties to research what their opposition claims and counter it.
    In other words, a format that favours fact over charisma.

    • @Discitus

      Definitely this. I never get involved in typical debates because the other guy can spew out a bunch of crap that I don't time have to challenge, and the other guy comes out looking like he proved something. It's a lot easier and faster to throw out lies than to present well-sourced facts.
      I much prefer video responses or internet forum discussions for holding debates. They prevent someone from employing many traditional con artist tactics like the gish gallop.

    Like I said in the end, the ball's in Hovind's court. Do I think he'll follow through? I doubt it. But if I'm wrong then no big deal, you're worrying over nothing. Seriously, just kick back and enjoy the smackdown. I'll be preparing the third quantum video these next few weeks so sit tight, and be sure to drop a like, comment, subscription, share, haiku, riddle, limerick, and interpretive dance.

      If he does respond, it will be with absurd caveats. Even if you accept his demands, he'll make more demands until it's untenable for you to accept. Then he will blame it all on you, the "unreasonable" atheist, for not excepting a few "reasonable" requests.
      To top it off, you won't be dealing with Hovind himself. You'll be dealing with some obsequious toady whose obnoxiousness will set you even more on edge.
      Hovin has had no shortage of people who want to debate. It's him who always backs out when they won't except his ridiculous demands. Then he smugly acts like it was them that backed down and his sycophants eat it up.

    Dear King Crocoduck: Not surprisingly you are willing to debate Kent Hovind, and probably believe you would "win". This is most probably because you believe it would be fair to use logic, physics, mathematics and other well known and documented scientific facts and would not include ANY fallacies.Shame on you, how dishonest. I propose you debate be held after having several hard blows to your head, having been sleep deprived for 2 -3 weeks and consuming several gallons of grain alcohol. With the playing field now leveled, you will lose my friend. Kent Hovind's logic and biblical creation will be easy to see and understand at this point.

It’s wrong in every possible way, from every angle, at every level of magnification. There are no circumstances under which what you said is correct. There is no context in which what you said isn’t wrong.

Hovind has *ZERO* interest in an actual debate: he has never debated anyone in his life.

They don’t even know the first thing about how to detect and analyze Illuminati Propaganda; they don’t think about this because in truth, atheistards don’t know *HOW* to think ! A *LIVE* debate with. *David Eager* host of Talkshoe call *”OUT OF DARKNESS, INTO THE LIGHT”* would sufficiently prove this but all that has ever been proven is that atheistsards are *too afraid to get on LIVE with David in the first place!* Instinctively they must realize they would be getting into something they would *NOT* like to show their best friends or FB Page ETC it’d be so embarrassing for the atheistard, but not for the Christians :33

  • @ArguingFromIgnorance
    @ArguingFromIgnorance 8 лет назад +17

    Lol (15:02), but don't hold your breath. Kent has squirmed out of several debates so far.
    His current demands are:
    1. It must be at a physical venue, not online.
    2. It must be about evolutionism, not Christianity.
    3. He must be given 50% of the speaking time.
    4. He must be allowed to sell copies on his website for profit.
    5. You must be a sufficiently famous evolutionist.
    He's used the fifth condition as a trump card whenever someone has agreed to the first four; and the second condition as a way of avoiding debate with other Christians who've challenge his 'unusual' theological views.
    Theologian James White once issued an open challenge for Kent to phone into his radio show after Kent started throwing around accusations that James was a liar, but Kent was sadly "too busy" with phoning into dozens of _other_ radio shows that didn't want to bring that up.
    In response to acceptances by Thunderf00t the Drunken Peasants, Kent cited the first condition as an excuse to call the debates off; but even if they had agreed to hold it at a physical venue, it's likely that Kent would have continued to add ever-more elaborate conditions until his opponents eventually gave up and dropped out.
    In his Q&A videos, people have been presenting Kent with arguments and evidence that he's never encountered before and I think it's rattled him a bit. So despite the bravado, I don't think his debate challenges are in good faith. He wants to focus his efforts on kids and believers; only after he's taken their money and free labour to build his crappy theme park will he sincerely start pining after a debate.

      Isaiah 40:22. And if you think it's just using 'circle' as a metaphor for oblate spheroid, then I suggest you go to the library and check out a copy of Strong's Concordance. If the author of Isaiah thought the earth was something like a sphere, he'd have used דּוּר which means ball or sphere. But instead he used חוּג which means flat circle, sometimes with an arguable implication of a domed or vaulted circle, which is what your fellow Christian creationists the flat earthers like to latch onto.

    It boils down to simply this (just like maths and physics) Smart rational open minded people support science, gullible twisted thinking yet sometimes well meaning folk support nonfactual nonsense. Hovind is good at what he does. Like the bibles, he gives you what you want to hear and thats the hook! reality and tested facts are not fun and life is too short.

  • @chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314
    @chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314 8 лет назад +11

    Hovind doesnt even know how to read his Bible. There is no such thing in the creation myth as *"he stretched out"* anything.
    That is the classical over the top: anything-i-read-i-can-change tactics. Wishful thinking, plain and simple.
    The creation myth at the first chapters of Genesis is recognized by *any expert in Hebrew you want* as an expression of their world-views mixed with the mythologies of other cultures.
    It uses elements from other myths exactly to change their perspective and affirm the supremacy of their god over the others.
    So for them the creation of the world (earth) is the same as the universe. For them the world was like a snow-globe with the stars and the sun on the glass (firmament), all made for the earth and not far away (there is no indication in the text pointing to stars and sun being far away IN SPACE, they are in the sky that *belongs to earth*). There is no way around that world-view.
    Even with that much said it does not mean it invalidates any religion, but it can *NEVER be interpreted imposing our current world-views*, because doing so it is not a correct interpretation (goes against good hermeneutics). When you interpret a text you can't impose the text NEEDS to mean something (that is the definition of distorting the words of someone else), you need to search what it MEANT for the people who first read it.
    One word of advice for Hovind and creationists: if you really respect the text of the BIBLE as being sacred, *stop DISTORTING its meaning just because you are afraid of what is saying*. Read it to understand what it was meant to not what you want to and you will learn much more from it. It would be much more honest to the text and to young-earth-creationists to just admit they don't know how to interpret in the light of the current scientific knowledge (no one needs to have all the answers). But asking for HONESTY from some ppl is just impossible.

      FLAWDAWADA727 That is completely different text of the Bible. And is even more poetic than Genesis, which have some elements that were considered a real explanation of origins, not just poems.
      If you dont understand that first you have to maintain your interpretations in the text you are reading, and not interpret it first by using something from another author in another context, *you also dont know how to read your Bible*.
      I suggest you first follow simple rules of interpretation. Try reading a book like "Do you understand what you read" (from GORDON D. FEE - DOUGLAS STUART). Dont know the exact title in english, but it is a very good book to begin if you dont have training.
      I really suggest that, Im not being sarcastic. Because that is a very common error when interpreting an ancient text, or any text at all.
      Edit:*(I can explain some simple rules that are not being used in your example, and his if you want, but I wont waste time if you really are not interested in learning interpretation, in that case just read the book I mentioned or another that deals with hermeneutics and exegesis)*

    • @chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314
      @chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314 8 лет назад

      FLAWDAWADA727 Also to be clear on something. When I say *you (probably) dont know how to read your Bible*, Im not trying to insult you.
      Most people dont know how to read the Bible because it is an ancient text and because usual texts from our culture and environment do not need the same care and treatment needed for us to be able to understand them quite well (because we know the context and most texts are directed to a public similar to us).
      And also *Im not saying you need a PhD to understand the message of god, or the message of the gospel*, which by its nature needs to be simple in order for common ppl to understand.
      But to understand *details like he is trying to do (and using Apologetics correctly) training and effort is needed*.

    This might come as a shock to some people, but Kent Hovind seems to have difficulty understanding the relationship between rate and time. He says that the first stars receded from Adam and Eve at, say, 90% of the speed of light (which he arguendo supposes is constant). Proposing this example runs counter to his beliefs, for he's wanting to argue that the universe is younger rather than older.
    The lower the recession speed, the older the universe is because slower things take longer to get as far as faster things. In particular, if something is traveling at 90% of the speed of light and you see it when it is exactly 1 light year away, it must be at least 11% older than it would be if it were traveling at the speed of light.
    Kent would need to argue that all of the stars (except our local one) were receding from Adam and Eve faster than the speed of light. Thus, we shouldn't see any of these stars at this stage of the game.

    I like your vids and don't disagree with anything you said, but I am also disappointed in this video. It looks as though I may be the only one, but I felt compelled to write something.
    My first sigh came after discovering your condescending nature toward Hovind. He may have started it with the half of brain comment, but that's a Donald Trump reason for childish behavior. Had hoped you would take the high road. Again, not that you're wrong, just didn't need to be done. And you come across as a kid being easily goaded into petty insults.
    I also feel it's a mistake to accept Hovind's challenge to debate for many reasons. For those that have watched many debates, especially those that involve scientists vs charismatic creationists, the scientist almost never "wins", even though the facts are on his side.
    1. You will not change anyone's mind either way.
    2. Hovind is smart. He does not have the knowledge of physics that you do. But he has way more knowledge when it comes to manipulating an audience. I realize no one wants to give him credit for anything here. But if you don't respect his ability to command an audience, he will bury you. You won't be buried in facts or reasonable arguments, but a load of BS placed in an attractive box with a beautiful bow. And people eat that sh#t up.
    He will not debate on a topic that involves strict scientific facts. Whatever the topic you agree on will be enough for him to digress to tangents where he can make memorable points. He will not debate the true science behind it. And sticking strictly to science is the only arena in which you will have a chance. He will surprise you with things you don't have immediate answers for. He will twist your words and ideas. He will charm the audience.
    He will come out of this no less influential. He will simply have one more video for his flock to watch and at which to marvel. And there is a chance you will be embarrassed. Not because you don't have the science right, but because no one will remember any of the science, and you won't be prepared to rebut some of his creationist pseudo-scientific points. I respect you for accepting the challenge, but there is no "winning" a debate like this, no matter how well you present the facts. I hope you figure out a way to make this not happen.

    2. It also tells you that you are looking into the past, since you are looking at the light that left an object 1 year ago you are looking at light that is 1 year old. not in the present or future but the past, even looking at the sun - better use a filter - you are still looking at light that is 8.5 minutes old.
    3.

    After centuries of increasingly precise measurements, in 1975 the speed of light was known to be 299792458 m/s (186,282 mi /s) with a measurement uncertainty of 4 parts per billion. In 1983, the metre was redefined in the International System of Units (SI) as the distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second. As a result, the numerical value of c in metres per second is now fixed exactly by the definition of the metre.[6],,, and of course The speed of light in vacuum is usually denoted by a lowercase c, for "constant" or the Latin celeritas (meaning "swiftness, celerity"). Historically, the symbol V was used as an alternative symbol for the speed of light, introduced by James Clerk Maxwell in 1865. In 1856, Wilhelm Eduard Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch had used c for a different constant later shown to equal √2 times the speed of light in vacuum. In 1894, Paul Drude redefined c with its modern meaning. Einstein used V in his original German-language papers on special relativity in 1905, but in 1907 he switched to c, which by then had become the standard symbol for the speed of light.[7][8]
    Sometimes c is used for the speed of waves in any material medium, and c0 for the speed of light in vacuum.[9] This subscripted notation, which is endorsed in official SI literature,[6] has the same form as other related constants: namely, μ0 for the vacuum permeability or magnetic constant, ε0 for the vacuum permittivity or electric constant, and Z0 for the impedance of free space. This article uses c exclusively for the speed of light in vacuum.
    Since 1983, the metre has been defined in the International System of Units (SI) as the distance light travels in vacuum in  1⁄299792458 of a second. This definition fixes the speed of light in vacuum at exactly 299792458 m/s.[10][11][12] As a dimensional physical constant, the numerical value of c is different for different unit systems.[Note 3] In branches of physics in which c appears often, such as in relativity, it is common to use systems of natural units of measurement or the geometrized unit system where c = 1.[14][15] Using these units, c does not appear explicitly because multiplication or division by 1 does not affect the result.,,, THINK THERE IS a possibility of fluctuation as well a possibility of non vacuum or and space bending time as well as the measurement of the metre ,,, so there a possible variation ,,, to me thats a fail because of this

I'd love to learn more about light years and such, quantum physics and so on, i am going to college for these things. anything you can shed light on to further my knowledge and to further aid my stand against religion that would be great. they have shoved their side down our throats so i'd love to start returning the favor. i would love to change someones mind on their beliefs through factual evidence (not that it'll likely happen). i love getting into debates as it was my hobby during highschool and now long after. if you are too busy, i understand. if not, then please respond and we can discuss over facebook or whatever means of communication is more comfortable.

    sounds like the unified theory for light duality may have to be on level with having creationists and physicists find a unified perspective. There's perhaps a chance neither is correct or either could be utilizing the 'magical' properties in both. there's a lot more similarities often missed when people focus on the few differences. Both paths have the potential to have been altered by their own version of observation, so both their 'lights' have quite possibly potentially darkened their effectiveness.

    I know that you don't actually intend these videos to be *primarily* educational, more refutational if that's a word, but I wanted to let you know that I learn a crapload by watching these. For some reason it is just a lot more entertaining and effective for my brain to learn these concepts in the "backwards" pedagogy of debate, ie, top-down instead of bottom-up. Beginning with a false statement then pointing out why it is wrong and what is known has been a really effective way for me to soak up a lot of this science. So, thank you for the... unintentional education! :)

    Two quick questions: First, you're at UCSB?! I used to work there, miss it terribly. Loved that campus.
    Second, what would the Hovindian expansion rate do to the red shifting of light? Wouldn't everything be pretty much invisible? (I'm not sure if you covered that when saying we wouldn't be able to see certain things...)

    Hello again King. I wanted to give a quick follow-up. As an engineer I'll often come up with an idea to solve a technical problem or a new way to do something. I then setup a test. I then try to prove it. I also setup a method to prove myself wrong. In industry we have to do this as lives are sometimes at risk. So on a daily basis I follow the scientific method. With each failure I learn. But you do realize I'm a application scientist. I enjoy theoretical physics but always keep in mind the difference between theoretical and reality. And I will mention I've spent 21 years in the service. And traveled extensively. And worked with the Navel air engineering center on several advanced projects. This experience has shown me the differences between theoretical and actual applications. In other words "this has to work!". So I respectfully request examples that I can study. P

  • @Spar10Leonidas

    I posted this in your other video about the speed of light, but I'll post it again here because I'm still having trouble finding information on this:
    I don't know if you've ever heard this one, but I've recently dealt with a creationist who tried to argue that the reason that we can see objects that are more than 6,000 light years away is because light approaching us travels much faster (for some fucking reason). I had trouble understanding his justification for this, I don't know if he was trying to suggest that relativity allows time to slow down for us enough for distant starlight to reach us or if he was trying to suggest that this must be the case because we can't measure the "one-way" speed of light (due to the fact that we can't synchronize clocks at both the source and the detector if they're in two separate locations).
    I don't know much about the former, but for the latter, would the information that you give starting at 13:57 [here, I'm referring to the video "Helping Hovind to Understand the Speed of Light"] also allow us reasonably assume that the speed of light is constant in all directions (even if we ignore Ockham's Razor)? Thanks.

  • @stylis666
    @stylis666 7 лет назад +1

    I have to agree with Hovind on the speed of light not being constant though. Kent's mind is still in medieval times. The only way that is possible is if he is in medieval times and the time around him is slowed down and it took hundreds of years for the light and sound coming from him to reach us. That does leave me with a problem to explain how he can answer questions from the future, assuming that we call his medieval blabber answers, for research purposes. Edit and I have no explanation for that shirt either. Maybe he is stuck in the eighties? More research is needed.

  • @anoriolkoyt
    @anoriolkoyt 8 лет назад

    Hey man, I think an important point to discuss first with folks like him is the accuracy of the writings he bases his belief on. Through translation, as Linguistics dictate, there is always a loss in the the idea being conveyed. He uses the word 'stretch' often in the excerpts you show. However, another translator could easily have chosen the word 'extend" which would completely change the tone. Today, we can work to understand the *intention* by speaking to people from the other culture. We have other means of communication (i.e. gestures) to transmit an idea. However, the modern bibles are translated form *ancient* Greek or Hebrew. We do not have this option in linguistics to communicate with the people to find out 'intention of meaning.'
    Mr Hovind uses the word 'stretch' often in the excerpts you listed. I can have an endless debate with my French friends, for example, on the equivalent sense in French (and French and English have extremely similar vocabulary!). From a linguistics stand point, whatever is translated today from ancient texts must be taken with a grain of salt. You MUST have other supporting evidence from other fields of study to confirm what is said. We accept that Jesus was a real man not solely because its said in the bible, but its mentioned in other areas (like in Roman records). I accept that the Pyramids of Egypte actually exist not because Egyptians says so, but archaelogists, historians, miltary commanders, artists, etc. have confirmed this is the case.
    This is a fundamental problem with people like Mr Hovind that needs to be addressed first prior to debating modern science. Take a look at the video below. These men are discussing problmes translating the bible **from** English to other languages. They are aboslutely correct in what they are saying, in terms of linguistics. What is comically ironic, is that the fail to take into account all the same problmes when translating **to** English.

    How do you measure distances in space?
    1. by parallax
    2. by measurig the brightness of standard stellar events of known brightness
    3. you can measure the distance to the moon with a laser.
    Before you can refute these you must first google to understand them.

    With all due respect King Croc, I can't stand Kent neither, and I totally share the same fillings for him, as you. But debating that dishonest piece of shit, is a losing proposition, he will never accept that he is a complete MORON, and the only thing that you will accomplish, is giving him the attention that he is craving to have, and his followers either will agree with him regardless, or will make him a martyr. Anyway, if you decide to do it anywise, I will see it. I will not wish you good luck, because you do no need it, you will destroy him even on a self-induced coma.

    We use si units? Engineers uses both. It should be the responsibility of any US engineer to be able to convert from one to another. Unless you are saying that you are too lazy to do conversions, or you are saying that engineers are better than physicists. Granted, 80% of physic majors become engineers or some other field due to an over saturation of the physics majors. Building a world is far better than theorizing/researching of one.
    Anyways, keep up the good work.

    He is adamant that since you can't take a yard stick and physically measure the distance to a star that we can't possibly KNOW that the stars are more than 6,000 light years away.
    If people can not understand something as simple as the speed of light and distance than they're fucked. A lost cause...

    @condorboss3339 8 лет назад +1

    If you are going to debate him - and I have expressed my doubts as to the wisdom of this before - please make the terms of the debate very specific and very clear. The best option would be to frame the debate in terms of requiring him to 'prove' creation. Then it becomes a matter of pointing out the idiocy of his "ice comet", "hydroplate" and other absurities.
    Framing it in terms of defending the standard model of the big bang and biological evolution would allow him to drag in all the disproven nonsense that he has uttered about these subjects previously. The debate format simply does not allow sufficient time to explain each issue in the detail required.

      @arkay238 8 лет назад

      +Condor Boss Unfortunately, Kent's interest isn't to prove creation so he probably wouldn't accept those conditions. His whole angle is that evolution isn't "proved," but that it's a misguided interpretation of the available evidence. Therefore, he claims it shouldn't be taught in public schools-- or at least that it should concede equal time to other "theories" like creation. This whole angle shifts the burden to the evolutionist, which is why to an untrained audience, he is, sadly, a very successful debater.

    • @condorboss3339
      @condorboss3339 8 лет назад

      arkay238 I agree. Which is why I oppose debating Hovind at all.
      However, if King Crocoduck insists on debating him, the terms of the debate must be framed so that Hovind cannot go off his gish gallop.
