Defeating "Dr" Kent Hovinds' claims.

I think you are reading too much into Muhd's words. While it is true that many creationists and IDists present their god as a god that exists in the gaps between all the discoveries we have made, I don't think Muhd is one of them. His claim that

quote:

However I will say that evolution and other naturalistic theories are perpetuated in an effort to remove God out of the picture.

tells me he has the typical misunderstanding of what scientists do.Just like most people in society, he probably finds his comfort into making up his mind about something and sets out to find evidence for whatever it is. For example, if he is convinced that the guy next door is a jerk, Muhd would go out and try to find every piece of evidence that suggests the guy next door is a jerk. Along the way, Muhd would probably find some evidence that suggest the guy next door is a nice person, but then since it contradicts what Muhd presupposes, the evidence is simply thrown out.In other words, Muhd has a misunderstanding that scientists are some sort of angry heathens who try to disprove god. Science, according to Muhd, science should simply toss out all evidence that have no relevence to proving the existence of god. It's a rather sad view of the progresses we have made since the Dark Ages.It's not that Muhd thinks his god exists in the gaps of knowledge. It's that he thinks the knowledge we have ARE the gaps between god.

Oh my goodness, how ignorant can this Kent guy be? 2 theories on what causes the sun to burn? I see the same thing repeated twice using different words.The sun's massive gravity results in an enormous pressure on the matter the sun is made of, which is mostly hydrogen and helium. This pressure causes the gas to heat up and you have hydrogen burning, the same process we see happen in a hydrogen bomb, which is the same thing as nuclear fusion.This guy seems to draw strength from people' ignorance.

So, apparently this guy doesn't comprehend or refuses to comprehend what hydrogen burning is. It's kinda sad that this guy has an audience at all.

Long ago, I fished around for the credentials of some of these crackpots. While I do not have the sources now, I remember finding out that these "doctors" got their doctorates from unaccredited christian schools.But honestly, any high schooler should know that combustion is different from nuclear fusion. I mean, just how much crack are these people on?
