Charles Darwin said women bred the hair off of the men - because why aren't men as hairy as apes? - Darwin said women prefer less hairy men and so they were able to get more mating opportunities - Darwin said in
The Descent of Man - what an idiot
[sic] idea - then why don't the women have beards, Darwin?

Gloria writes in, "Why did Dr Hovind say Special Relativity is wrong when particle
physicists say it's correct and they test it everyday in particle
accelerators? So why is it wrong?" Gloria, that is a question you are going to ask probably someone like
[...] Russell Humphreys. I don't get into much of the Special Relativity and Einstein Theories
[sic] and, ah, ah, you know, Newtonian Physics, ah, that kind of stuff doesn't interest me much.
So I guess I haven't put a lot into it. [...] So, some of the ideas are just absurd on their face, you know, that space can be bent.

They got the
[Nobel] Prize today but this is research done in 1989 with the COBE cosmic background explorer - that's a satellite - which supposedly proved the Big Bang.
They must be getting desperate for evidence for evolution if these guys do the research and 17 years later they finally get a Nobel Prize for it.

CALLER: [...] U238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years and that is what they use to date the Earth with.
HOVIND: I would start off by saying, "Who counted it for that long?"
CALLER: I'm not sure.
HOVIND: How could anyone possibly know the half-life of something is, you know, 4.5 billion years or whatever they get.
It may be, I'm not saying it's not, I would just like to see more details on how this was calculated.

In spite of their ferocious look, many people would probably argue the T-Rex was a vegetarian. The ferocious teeth would have been great for, you know, crushing stuffed pumpkins or something, you know. I don't know if it has ever been proven they were meat eaters. There is plenty of evidence from cracks in the enamel with chlorophyll stains in them indicating they were certainly eating plants.

CALLER: Any scientist would completely disagree with being able to sum up what science is in one sentence.
HOVIND: Three dictionaries I have in front of my sum it up in one sentence.
CALLER: A dictionary has to define something in one sentence that doesn't mean it is the complete definition of the word.
HOVIND: You know how lawyers will say things in ten thousand words just to make it confusing? I think you're wanting to define science in ten thousand words just so you can somehow make evolution part of it. [...] Explain to me how an amoeba turned to a blue whale over three billion years. [...]
CALLER: Wow. That would take the next three or four months of your entire radio program.
HOVIND: My point exactly. You would have to have months and months, many semesters of college in order for a person
to be brainwashed enough to believe such a dumb idea. You have to go to school for years to be that dumb.

Also, Einstein's formula - E=mc^2 -
[...] Einstein was just saying the speed of light squared - 186,000 times 186,000 -
that is a huge number. I don't think anybody knows, including Einstein, that that exact number is correct - the energy is
equal to the speed of light squared - that is just an illustration to show how much energy can be found in a small amount of
mass. I mean, it could have been E=mc cubed or quadrupled, I don't think anybody knows.
How would you prove such a thing? How do you know it is not E=mc to the two and a half power, you
know, or some kind of law like that? The point is, the speed of light is not a constant according to an awful lot of research in the last 25 years
[...] and Einstein's formula is just giving an example of how much energy there is.

[Advice to
the daughter of a woman with breast cancer]
HOVIND: One thing is for sure, if you do nothing it will probably get worse.
But it is surprising, if you do nothing with cancer your life expectancy is somewhere between 6 and 10 years.
If you take chemo your life expectancy is between 1 and 2 years.
WOMAN: They want her to take radiation. And that is my greatest fear. I believe the FDA about as much as I believe in evolution.

Everybody is asking how the light got from the stars to here.
They're asking the wrong question. The Bible says God made the Earth first and the stars second
[6,000 years ago]. Seventeen times in the Bible is says He stretched out the heavens.
Well, if He stretched out the heavens and He did it from here [on Earth] then they would see the light on the first day and rapidly
recede into the distance and they would leave behind a trail of light. So the stars could be
receding at 99.9999% the speed of light and they could be billions of light years away.

One theory is that the pre-Flood Earth had a canopy of ice above it that squeezed the atmosphere down to, say, 15 miles
[...] If you squeezed the air down to 15 miles - instead of 100 - it would be more clear because there would be less distortion - atmospheric twinkle it's called.
And probably this canopy of ice would act as a photo-amplifier where you would actually see things much more clearly.
That's one theory that [in] the pre-Flood world you don't need a telescope - you could see incredibly well.

It is possible - and I think Walt Brown may have it right on this one - that Saturn's rings are from the Earth - believe it or not, I know it sounds crazy - let me explain.
He says when the fountains of the deep broke open - Genesis Chapter 7 - the pressure of 10 or 15 miles of rock [...] the pressure 10 or 15 miles down is phenomenal
[...] So if there was water in the crust of the Earth like the Bible says there was
[...] then this water would come shooting up to the surface when the "fountains of the deep" broke open and the Earth busted up like an eggshell. That water shooting up would have enough pressure - according to Walt Brown - to eject things into space. They would drift around for awhile - who knows for a couple of hundred years - and run into something like Saturn and make the rings.

There is zero proof of black holes.
Now, if someone wants to believe in them that's fine. There is some evidence that can be interpreted that way, and maybe they do exist, I'm not saying they don't.
I'm just saying there is no proof of them. So if somebody says there are black holes, the reason they are saying that, and they probably don't even know it, they are trying to rescue the Big Bang Theory because the Big Bang Theory would say if the matter expanded or blew out from the Big Bang it should be evenly distributed.
There are billions of miles of nothing, then clumps of matter called galaxies.
The real purpose behind the black hole idea is to rescue the Big Bang - to explain why there is the nothings between the somethings.

HOVIND: Correct
CALLER: And so the granite is considered the Precambrian layer from the evolutionary standpoint?

EMAIL: [Referring to Hovind's science training] How does 60 hours of undergraduate science make anyone a scientist?
HOVIND: [....] Melissa will you please write back to us and tell us who is a scientist and who decides who is a scientist. Science means knowledge and, so, a scientist is a person who studies the knowledge that's been accumulated by man through the centuries. We've accumulated knowledge in quite a few areas. In the area of plants called botony. Or zoology. Or anthropology. Or palaeontology. Or astronomy. Or biology. Which one would you like to talk about? I'm fairly well versed in quite a few of them actually. I'm not a world expert but I've studied all of some and some of them a lot, so I think I'm able to handle any questions. I've debate a hundred professors and have had 4,000 turn me down. I'm siting here live at the radio, it is not as though I'm not opening myself up wide open for questions. What else can I do?

The koala, wombat, and kangaroo would have been at the fringe of the migration

A testimonial hosted by Kent Hovind: I personally have met several intellectual types with the same condescending attitude. My question is, if these people are so enlightened and intellectually superior to the rest of us, how come none of them do anything productive that generates revenue, helps grow the economy, makes the world a better place or builds something that will last for the next hundred years? They all seem to teach as some high school or university, sucking at the national nipple when they could be our amassing huge fortunes, couldn't they?

Typically,
what they do is they see a star wobble. It appears to wobble back and
forth and they assume there is a large planet going around in orbit tugging on
it. Most of the evidence for planets in other solar systems is based on, I
think, wild imagination. Or the base of their telescope is loose causing
the wobble. Or the Earth itself is wobbling while they look at it
[the star] - the Earth does have a wobble - causing them to think the star has a
wobble.

The fact that the brain is wired to do so much more than any of us do with it is

the normal usage? I mean, if the evolutionary think is true - you know,

indicates to me that people were smarter in the past. Quite the opposite

true some of the water on the edge gets vaporized. What happens is in the middle

enough water going the same direction - it takes too long to heat it. So I
think an ice meteor coming in toward the Earth - fragments of this ice would
make it through - probably pulverized it would develop its own cold channel.

Former
Hovind student and now "science teacher": I
was watching your video and you were debating a gentleman and he said - on a
question of the scientific method (observation, experimentation, hypothesis) -
and it started me thinking because I have never been in a public school - I have
never been in a public college - maybe they've redefined terms so they can get
around that scientific method. He said something about the scientific
method - you have to make it disprovable.
Hovind:
Falsifiable
"Science
teacher": Oh, there we go -
falsifiable. Have they, in the schools, started some kind of redefining of
the scientific method to be able to teach evolution without embarrassing
themselves?
Hovind: Yes. I believe they have tried to redefine 'science'. If you look it up in any dictionary, especially 100 years ago. Science is knowledge gained by observation, experimentation and testing.
